Winter Solstices Officially Arrives Sunday
Sunday starts off quiet and fairly mild for late December. Weโll see a mix of sun and clouds through the day, and temperatures will climb into the upper 50s to near 60 degrees by the afternoon. Not exactly the deep freeze youโd expect for the first day of winter.
Increasing clouds with warmer temperatures Wednesday
Wednesdayย brings in a few more clouds with sunshine along withย temperatures climbing into the upper 50s by the afternoon.ย Throughoutย the day we'll deal with gusts up to 15-20mph, but it will remain dry.ย Tomorrow evening brings mostly cloudy skies with temperatures a lot warmer back in the lower 40s.
Chilly evening with a gradual warm-up
Tuesday still starts on the cold side, but things improve as the day goes on. Sunshine sticks around all day, and afternoon temperatures rebound into the upper 40s to low 50s. It will beย a noticeable step in the right direction and the start of a gradual warming trend as high pressure movesย in from theย east.
A warm-up Saturday, then a temperature tumble Sunday
Early Sunday, a sharp cold front moves in from the northwest. It wonโt bring much rain, if any at all, but it will deliver a serious blast of Arctic air. Charlotte may start Sunday near 50ยฐ, but temperatures quickly tumble through the day, setting us up for an icy start to the new week. Overnight lows drop into the teens and even single digits, and the High Country is staring down the possibility of subzero wind chills some of the coldest conditions weโve felt since January.
A Quick Warm-Up Before a Arctic Blast Arrives
โIโn theย Charlotteโ Metro, we finally get a taste of something milderโ heading into Friday. Temperatures will climb into the 50s tomorrow, and Saturday โโbrings a chance of theย 60s. If you love mild weather, Saturday is your day to soak it inโ and finish up any holiday decorating outside.
Clear skies and slightly warmer tonight
For the rest of us, tomorrow starts on a brighter note. Sunshine will take the lead early, with a few clouds drifting in later in the day.
Chilly evening with winds picking up Wednesday
Tomorrow night, a few isolated snow showersย will impact the high countryย thanks to a weak front moving through. It wonโt be a big snow event with onlyย light flurriesย expected along with minimalย accumulation. Other than that, weโre mostly in for dry weather, which is great news for plans later this week.

Bitter cold tonight with sun returning Tuesday
For the rest of the region tonight is all about the chill that will take hold with teens and 20 in place for overnight lows.ย This will be one the coldest evenings since early February, causing concern for a refreeze of roadways and black ice.
Dreary evening, drying out into the weekend
The clouds stick around throughout the weekend, but most locations will remain dry through Sunday night. Highs will stay in the 40s across the Piedmont and Foothills as afternoon temperatures are near 40ยฐ in the High Country.
