Gradually increasing clouds are expected Saturday with noticeably colder temperatures, highs only reaching the low to mid-50s. Clouds will thicken Saturday evening with moisture approaching from the west. Snow will develop in the mountains and linger into Sunday morning. Charlotte will see rain develop after midnight which will mix with and change to snow before sunrise. Snow will come to an end for all areas by or before noon with afternoon highs struggling just to reach the 40s. Mountain areas will likely see 2-4 inches of snow with isolated amounts up to 6 inches possible at the highest peaks. Lower elevations will receive 1-2 inches. Charlotte and surrounding areas will see much less courtesy of the warm ground, marginally cold temperatures, and limited moisture. Most areas will see a light coating to no accumulation. Cold temperatures and unsettled weather will linger into next week.

Saturday: Increasing clouds, a chilly day. High 54°. NNE 5-10 mph.

Saturday Night: Clouds thicken, areas of rain and snow develop overnight. Low 32°. NE wind 5-10 mph.

Sunday: Morning snow tapering off quickly, below average temperatures. High 45°. NE wind 5-10 mph.
