Tracking Rain And Windy Conditions

Overnight rain, before sunshine returns

Friday night plans are a go, but things turn chilly, with temperatures slipping close to freezing around the metro area by Saturday morning. Feel-like temperature won't play nice with the teens and 20s taking over. Don’t get too comfortable with the cold though as a big warm-up rolls in for the first day of winter on Sunday. By afternoon, highs reach the lower to mid 60s in Charlotte, giving us a pretty pleasant finish to the last full weekend before Christmas.
