Lovely start to Valentine’s Day weekend, widespread rain lurks Sunday
Most locations in the WCCB Charlotte viewing area see at least a half-inch between Sunday morning and Monday morning.
Happy Friday! The final day of the workweek continues the cooler and drier trend as highs return to the 40s and 50s across the board this afternoon. Plentiful sunshine today will give way to more clouds this Valentine’s Day Saturday, but southwesterly winds will push temperatures back into the 60s around the Metro. The lovely start to the holiday weekend won’t last long; an expansive rainmaking system will sweep into the Carolinas by Sunday morning, bringing widespread rain throughout the day as highs struggle to clear the 30s and 40s. While the rain doesn’t appear to be particularly heavy, a steady dose of showers throughout the day will bring most locations over a half-inch of precipitation through Monday morning. Localized amounts may approach 1″ or more.
The moisture moves out by sunrise on Presidents’ Day Monday. Temperatures in the Queen City will warm closer to 60Β° once again before swelling back into the 70s by midweek. Overall, next week looks very warm with minimal rain chances over the five days following Sunday.
