Happy Friday Eve! Much colder air has cascaded back into the Carolinas this Thursday morning in the wake of yesterday’s cold front. Lows in the 20s and 30s this morning will yield to highs in the 40s and 50s across the board this afternoon. While cooler air prevails to close out the workweek, plentiful sunshine will make spending time outdoors much more tolerable. Highs swell back into the 60s across the Piedmont & Foothills by Saturday afternoon, setting us up for a lovely start to Valentine’s Day weekend. Enjoy the sunny skies and comfier highs while they last – big changes arrive on Sunday.
A robust storm system will sweep through the Southeast this weekend, bringing widespread rain to the Carolinas by Sunday afternoon. An area of high pressure to our northeast won’t help our case, either, as it brings a classic Carolina Wedge setup to the WCCB Charlotte viewing area. Highs may struggle to clear the 40s across the board as blanketing rain sticks around through much of the day. The storm system will clear to the east by Presidents’ Day Monday morning, bringing the moisture along with it. Next week gets off to a cool start in the 40s and 50s, but warmer air quickly builds in by midweek. The Charlotte Metro could see multiple days in the 70s next week – spring-lovers, rejoice!
