Charlotte Weather: Is the Chill Finally Lifting?

If you’re in Charlotte, you may have noticed that this past weekend brought in some pretty chilly air, but don’t fret too much! A slight warm-up is on the horizon just in time for the holiday week. Let’s break down what you can expect as we slide into Christmas week.

Cold Start to the Week

It looks like Monday is gearing up to be the coldest day of the week, with temperatures dipping down to the lower 20s in the early morning. If you’re planning to venture out, keep in mind that temperatures will be even colder in the nearby mountains, where some might even feel the teens! But wait, it gets slightly better as the day goes along—by the afternoon, we could see highs reaching only the mid-40s. So, definitely bundle up for Monday!

Warmer Weather Just Around the Corner

The good news? As we flip the page to Christmas Eve on Tuesday, we’re in for a brief warm-up! It’s expected to feel a bit more like the holidays, with temperatures climbing into the low to mid-50s. However, be prepared for the possibility of a few morning showers, so maybe keep that umbrella handy for a bit!

Celebrating Christmas with Sunshine!

On Christmas Day, Charlotteans can look forward to mostly sunny skies and temperatures hovering in the mid-50s. If you were dreaming of a white Christmas this year, current forecasts suggest it’s a bit of a long shot. The opportunity for snowfall is likely to remain just that—a dream! Enjoy the nice weather and celebrate with your loved ones outside if you can.

The Rest of the Week

As we look ahead to Thursday, the weather will remain similar to Christmas Day, keeping that sunny vibe going! But don’t get too cozy just yet; Friday rolls around with signs of clouds moving in. Expect scattered afternoon showers in the forecast, although rain chances remain low overall.

Getting Warmer for the Weekend

As we dive into next weekend, temperatures are predicted to rise back up, with highs reaching the upper 50s to lower 60s by Sunday. How refreshing! While rain is a possibility over the weekend, the likelihood appears to be pretty minimal at this point. So, you might want to plan those outdoor Christmas get-togethers as the weather seems to be cooperating!

Upcoming Trends

It’s worth noting that this weekend saw a recent cold front that graced us with snow in the mountains and even a touch of lightning in some areas. But by the start of the weekend, things should clear out, giving Charlotte access to some dry conditions and wonderful sunshine.

Temperature Trip Down Memory Lane
