More Clouds Build In By Thursday Night So Enjoy The Brighter Days While They Last

Temperatures will soar as we head into the weekend.

A milder few days are on the way!  Winds will shift to a more Southerly direction by Thursday afternoon, allowing for even warmer highs in the 50s and 60s to take hold of the Carolinas. Unfortunately, more clouds will build in by Thursday night. Our final day of the workweek is trending overcast – but remaining quite warm as highs around the Metro and southward approach the mid-60s.

Despite the increase in cloud coverage, rain chances remain minimal through the remainder of the workweek. However, that changes by Saturday night as a rainmaking system slides in from the southwest. Expect scattered showers to arrive overnight into Sunday morning, lasting throughout much of the day. It won’t be a complete washout, but your outdoor plans will be served better earlier rather than later this weekend. Another more significant system rides in on the first storm’s coattails and will bring heavier rain to our area on Monday and Tuesday. After a mild start, the latter half of next week will feel much more like winter.
