CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Tonight
Clearing skies and turning a bit chilly with lows in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees by morning. Light winds.
Thursday:
Mostly sunny and very nice with temperatures just a tad warmer in the mid to upper 70s. Lows at night will be in the mid-50s.
Friday:
There are increasing clouds and even an area of drizzle in the mountains and foothills. Highs will be in the low 70s, and the chance of rain is just 20%.
Weekend
Saturday begins the warm-up. Highs return to the upper 70s under partly cloudy to partly sunny skies. Sunday will be in the lower 80s again under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies.
Next Week Notes:
- Highs return to the mid 80s most of the week.
- Rain and thunderstorm potential on Tuesday and Tuesday evening.
- Push to the upper 80s likely next Friday
- Another chance for storms late week
- Dew points on the rise meaning higher lows. And we are nearing that threshold when we start that humid feeling.
Pollen Report
Tree pollen is the main cause of high pollen levels for mid-April before these numbers eventually taper off by mid-late May.
