The name "Beaver Moon" comes from the signaling when the beavers begins to build its shelter for the winter before the ground freezes. The Beaver Moon is the second of four supermoons which will allow to appear 14% larger and 30% brighter.
That warmer-than-average trend will stick around through the rest of the week and even into the weekend. Itโs the kind of weather that makes it easy to get outside to wrap up some yard work or enjoy a fall afternoon out and about.
Saturday morning will bring a true taste of late fall, with temperatures dropping into the 30s across the region. Many spots will experience their first freeze of the season, and even areas that stay just above freezing will likely see widespread frost.
As we head into Halloween and the upcoming weekend, the weather is shaping up to feel much more like fall across the Charlotte area. After a stretch of unsettled skies, conditions will clear out by Friday, setting us up for several days of bright sunshine.
By early Thursday, the rain finally moves out, and weโll begin to see the first signs of clearing. Morning clouds will gradually break apart through the day, and by afternoon, some sunshine should peek through. Temperatures will rebound slightly, reaching the low to mid-60s, which will feel much more pleasant after Wednesdayโs chill.
By the early hours of Thursday, the bulk of the system will begin to move offshore. However, a few lingering showers could hang around through the morning commute before drier air filters in from the west. As the clouds gradually clear, sunshine will make a welcome return by midday and continue into the afternoon.
This will bring another round of widespread rain to our region. The heaviest totals around 2 to 3 inches are likely along the mountains, with 1 to 1.5 inches elsewhere. Rain could briefly become heavy, especially in the mountains, but flooding issues are not expected. Overall, it looks like another soaking rain event.
The weather pattern begins to shift late Sunday night as the next storm system moves in. This will bring our first real chance for rain in weeks and it will be a multi-day weather event. Rain will become widespread on Monday, likely impacting both the morning and evening commute.
A bigger storm system is on the way that will shift our weather pattern out of sunshine into rain we desperatelyย need across the region. At this point it's too early to say how much rain, but this will be a multi day event that will help put a minor dent in the drought situation.
Dry weather remains in place the rest of the week with highs just near 70 by the weekend.
