Tuesday brings temperatures climbing well above average and breezy conditions developing through the day. The morning begins dry with a mix of clouds and some sun, with warmth building quickly. Many areas will climb into the 70s by the afternoon.
There is a bit of hopeful news in the mix. A few scattered showers will try to develop and move across the area later tonight. They may provide brief relief; these showers likely won’t be widespread or strong enough to fully wash the smoke out of the atmosphere. Expect haze, low visibility, and less-than-ideal breathing conditions to hang with us a bit longer.
Friday brings us cloudy skies through the day with a few early morning showers north of the metro. Temperatures will climb right back into the low to mid-70s, so it will still feel spring-like. We could see a few quick showers and storms pop up late evening into the start of the weekend, but you won't need to cancel any evening plans.
Thursday continues the trend with a mild and comfortable afternoon, with highs once again topping out in the mid-70s. Tomorrow morning starts off cool, with lows near 50 degrees, so you may want a light jacket early on. Through the day expect a mix of sun and clouds. It won’t be gloomy, but you’ll notice the sky filling in more than it has the last couple of days, hinting that we are about to see a shift.
Tomorrow will be the start of our warming trend with highs reaching the mid 70s with a sun and cloud mix. The record high for tomorrow for the Charlotte Metro is 79° which I do think we will be a few degrees shy of, but all in all it will a very warm fall day.
y Wednesday, the weather pattern shifts, and we move into a broad warm slot. Temperatures respond in a big way, climbing to nearly 15 degrees above normal. This will also bring some moisture into the atmosphere rising humidity levels out of the critical fire-weather range.
A wildfire in Avery County is spreading quickly due to ongoing dry conditions.
Saturday’s forecast couldn’t be much better with things kicking off in the mid-40s with calm winds and bright clear conditions. By midday, temps rise into the low 70s, making for an overall, near-perfect weather day.
The weekend brings even better news for outdoor plans. Both Saturday and Sunday will deliver plenty of sunshine with just a few passing clouds. Temperatures rise into the low to mid-70s each afternoon, a few degrees above normal for this time of year.
As we move into Thursday and Friday, a steady warming trend takes shape. Afternoon highs will climb to near 70°, pairing up with sunny skies and a light breeze. It’s the kind of pleasant fall weather to take a walk or make some outdoor plans heading toward the weekend.
