Mild Start to New Year, Decade
Weather-wise, we couldn't ask for a much better start to the new year.
Sunny skies and comfortable highs are on tap for the first afternoon of the new decade as temperatures top out in the mid-to-upper 50s across the Charlotte area. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, because clouds move in by Thursday afternoon and the rain will follow quickly behind them. We’re currently tracking a rainmaking system that is expected to develop over the next 24 hours over the western Gulf before trudging through the Carolinas by Friday. The sheer expanse of this system will bump up rain chances from Thursday evening through Saturday morning. Beyond that, the weekend is looking nice, albeit much cooler in the mid-to-lower 50s.
Today: Plentiful sunshine. High: 57Β°. Wind: W 5-10.
Tonight: Clouds build overnight. Low: 36Β°. Wind: Light.
Thursday: AM clouds. PM showers. High: 54Β°. Wind: SW 5-10.
Thursday Night: Showers continue. Low: 48Β°. Wind: Light.
Friday: Rain. High: 67Β°. Wind: SW 5-15.
