Staying windy with a major temperature change

Mother Nature is finally ready to turn up the chill! We’ve been spoiled with some pretty comfortable November weather, but that’s all changing as we head into the weekend. You’re going to want to keep those heavier jackets close by!

Tonight, temperatures will continue to tumble as a much colder air mass settles across the region. If you’re heading out this evening, don’t forget that extra layer. We’re getting our first real taste of winter, and this isn’t going to be a quick overnight cooldown.

By Friday, you’ll really notice the difference. Afternoon temperatures will struggle to make it out of the 50s, and that’s a pretty big adjustment from the mild weather we’ve been enjoying. The breeze will only add to that chilly feeling, so even with some sunshine, it’s not exactly going to feel warm outside.

The weekend

This is where things get interesting! We’re keeping a very close eye on Saturday and Sunday mornings as temperatures take another dive. Some neighborhoods could wake up to readings near or below 32 degrees, with Sunday morning looking like our best opportunity for a freeze across the Charlotte area.

And if you’ve still got flowers or sensitive plants hanging out on the porch, this is your friendly reminder to bring them in.

Don’t expect us to bounce right back into those warmer temperatures anytime soon. This colder weather looks like it wants to stick around into next week, keeping our mornings quite chilly and our afternoons on the cooler side.
