Clouds Build, Damp Weekend Ahead
A series of rainmaking systems slide through the Carolinas over the next few days.
After the coldest morning we’ve seen all year, temperatures hovering near freezing in the Queen City before sunrise on this Thursday almost feel warm – almost. As temperatures rebound into the weekend, rain chances will also make a comeback. Mostly sunny skies and southwesterly winds will allow for near-average temperatures this afternoon – but don’t get used to the sunshine. Clouds build overnight into our Friday morning as a powerful storm system approaches from the west. The rain should largely hold off until the afternoon, but a few showers are possible for your final morning commute of the workweek. Highs will top out in the 40s and 50s on Friday.
The most significant rain chances – and totals – lie on Saturday and Sunday. While neither day looks to be a washout, scattered showers will threaten throughout the weekend. Despite the clouds and rain, persistent breezes out of the southwest will push highs to above-normal values in the 50s and 60s for most. Any remnant moisture we see on Monday will clear out by the afternoon as a cold front slides through the Carolinas. Most communities across the WCCB Charlotte viewing area can expect anywhere between a half-inch and an inch-and-a-half through Monday morning. Our first workweek of December looks mainly sunny with near-normal temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
