Clouds, Rain Chances Build Into Midweek
Clouds will stick around through Wednesday afternoon before sunshine and warmer air set up shop as we head into February.
Enjoy this morning’s sunshine while it lasts! Clouds build back into the Carolinas this Tuesday afternoon as a rainmaking system approaches from the northwest. Highs will top out in the 40s and 50s today despite grayer skies thanks to winds out of the southeast. Scattered snow showers arrive by midnight in the High Country; rain slides in for everyone else shortly after. Lows will fall into the 30s and lower 40s for most tonight. Any shower activity we see across the WCCB Charlotte viewing area will exit east by sunrise Wednesday, but the clouds stick around through much of our Hump Day. Highs will struggle to clear the 30s and 40s as cold air pours in from the north.
Sunshine makes a triumphant return as we kick off February on Thursday. Brighter skies paired with more southerly winds will allow temperatures to re-establish themselves in above-average territory approaching 60° across the Piedmont to close out the workweek. Mostly sunny conditions carry into the first half of the weekend before more clouds roll in by Sunday. We’ll need to watch for an area of low pressure developing in the Southeast at around this time; rain looks like the dominant precipitation mode this coming Sunday through Tuesday, but the ingredients are there for potentially wintry weather.
