Clear skies tonight with temperatures set to drop Thursday

Tonight, we’re still in pretty good shape across the region, but don’t get too comfortable! We’re talking about our biggest temperature drop of the season so far, and trust me, you’re going to notice the difference.

By Thursday morning, things will start changing across the mountains. A few rounds of rain will develop as a powerful blast of Canadian air makes its way into the region. Throw in some strong breezes, and it’s going to feel pretty raw in the higher elevations throughout the day.

Here in the Metro, we’re not expecting much in the way of wet weather. Instead, it’s those winds that will grab your attention. Temperatures will struggle to climb beyond the 60s Thursday afternoon, and that’s just the beginning.

Friday is when you’ll really want to grab that heavier jacket! Afternoon temperatures will have a tough time making it out of the 50s. Add in a chilly breeze, and it’s going to feel even colder than what the thermometer says.

If you have plans this weekend, listen up! Both Saturday and Sunday mornings have the potential to bring temperatures down to or below 32 degrees in parts of the Charlotte area.

So, if you’ve been putting off bringing those sensitive plants inside, now is the time to start thinking about it!
