Staying the 80s through Saturday

Best chance for rain ends this coming weekend.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

Today

More clouds taking over for the afternoon. This will stop us from warming up past the record of 89° and hitting 90 for the first time this year, but still warm like yesterday in the upper 80s. There is a chance for a shower in the Mountains and perchance a sprinkle around the Charlotte area, but most will be dry. Great night to watch a Knights game. Overnight lows dropping to the low 60s again.

Wednesday

With mostly cloudy skies, afternoon temperatures will be in the low 80s, with southwest winds around 10-20 mph.  Lows at night will again be in the mid-60s.
