Major temperature drop moving in

Major change is coming for your Sunday across the WCCB Charlotte viewing area. A strong cold front is set to move through early tomorrow morning, bringing scattered showers and a major temperature drop. This evening will remain nice after a nearly record warm afternoon. By tomorrow morning, winds shift out of the north as a few passing showers are possible through the late morning, but won’t last long as they cross the region from west to east.

Sunday afternoon will be near 20 degrees colder than today as cooler air funnels in during the day. A mix of sun and clouds will be common after rain works out, with Sunday evening being dry, although a bit chilly with the breeze added in. Monday morning will be the coldest in a while with lows around 40 in the Piedmont before afternoon highs rebound back to the low 70s. Tuesday will be the same before the warming trend kicks in towards the end of next week. We are back to summer temperatures and sunny skies by the end of the work week.

No drought relief this week with a statewide burn ban is in effect for both Carolinas as the driest start to a year on record continues. The good news is there are signs that by the end of April we could see a change in the pattern that may bring a return to more consistent rain chances. Make sure to stick with the WCCB weather team for the latest!
