Sharp cooldown Sunday
The entire WCCB Charlotte viewing area will be near or below freezing for the next two mornings ahead.
We’ve made it to March – and meteorological spring – but winter comes roaring back tonight. Charlotte has cracked 70º four times in the past five days; we’ll come nowhere close to that mark on Sunday as a sharp cold front slices through the Carolinas overnight. Expect lows to dip near or below freezing overnight into Sunday morning as highs struggle to clear the 30s and 40s.
Warmer air steadily builds in through the first half of the workweek, going from the upper 50s on Monday to the lower 70s on Wednesday in the Metro. Unfortunately, the warmth may not be a good thing for us, as it will provide more energy for a powerful storm system that crashes into the Carolinas by midweek. We’ll have to watch for strong-to-severe storms Wednesday morning as the incoming system approaches from the west. The good news is that the worst weather appears poised to blow through our area in the morning, when there’s less energy available. Stay weather-wise as the forecast becomes clearer; we’ll keep you posted as things change. Cooler and drier air filter in behind Wednesday’s storms as we close out the workweek.
Tonight: Brisk and breezy. Low: 32°. Wind: N 5-15. Gusts: 20+

Sunday Night: Another chilly night. Low: 30°. Wind: Light.
