Colder weather is on the way as we near 2024
Let's get on with winter already
Clouds get kicked to the curb as we dry off
Highs remain well above average tomorrow, but winter roars back by the end of the year.
Warm and wet air moves out. A taste of the season returns.
We will find mostly Cloudy skies tonight and Thursday will also start on a cloudy note before clearing arrives by Thursday PM. The Queen City will likely top out near 60° again tomorrow, but cold air comes crashing into the WCCB Charlotte viewing area overnight into Friday.
An upper-level area of low pressure sweeps into the Carolinas by the weekend, bringing much colder air along with it. Expect highs to top out slightly below normal starting on Friday as a string of freezing nights carries us into the new year. A Northwest flow could lead to a few snow showers in the High Country, but the Piedmont and Foothills will remain dry outside of the slight chance of showers and flurries. New Year’s Eve will certainly feel like it should – cold. Lows will bottom out in the 20s and 30s as we start the new year. Snow-lovers should keep an eye on the first few weeks of 2024; there will be plenty of cold air intrusions to kick off the year.
