Charlotte Weather: Cold Front Brings Chill and Snow to Weekend Ahead of Christmas

Charlotte Weather Update: Cool Down Ahead of the Holidays

Hey there, Charlotte! It looks like we’re in for a bit of a chill as we head into the weekend. If you’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas, you might want to adjust those expectations! A cold front is rolling in, and it’s bringing some cooler temperatures just in time for the holidays.

Friday Forecast: Mid-50s and Gusty Winds

Starting off with Friday, today’s temperatures will peak in the mid-50s before that brisk air starts to make its presence known. Wind gusts will pick up as we slide into the evening, and brace yourself—colder air is on the way! Keep an umbrella handy, as there’s a chance of a few short-lived showers late Friday afternoon. But don’t worry; they’re expected to be fleeting.

If you’re planning a trip to the mountains over the weekend, watch out for snow! The area is under a winter weather advisory, with snow showers expected to create a picturesque scene for those up in the higher elevations.

Saturday and Sunday: Frosty Mornings Ahead

Now, on to Saturday—get ready for a brisk start, with temperatures hovering around freezing in the morning. Highs will only squeeze into the upper 40s by the afternoon, so it’s officially time to pull out those warm scarves! And if you think Saturday is chilly, just wait for Sunday! Mornings will start off even colder, falling into the mid-20s, while the thermometer struggles to hit low 40s in the afternoon.

Christmas Eve Weather: Bundle Up!

As we inch closer to the big holiday, expect frigid temperatures to stick around through Christmas Eve on Tuesday. The forecast looks sunny, but those cooler-than-normal temperatures will continue to be a theme. Think warm drinks and cozy blankets on the couch as we countdown to Christmas!

Christmas Day: A Mild Return

But hold on! Christmas Day itself is projected to be a bit of a relief from the chill, with highs climbing back into the mid-50s, which translates to a more typical winter day for Charlotte. There’s a slight chance of a few showers, but the forecast suggests coverage will be low. Keep your plans flexible just in case—you know how weather can be!

Stay Updated!

As we gear up for the holidays, it’s always a good idea to stay updated on the latest forecasts. You can do this by downloading a weather app on your device or checking out smart TV options like Roku or Amazon Fire. Stay safe and prepared while enjoying those holiday festivities!

So, as we bundle up this weekend, remember that a chillier Charlotte is here for a visit. Get ready for some chilly fun and enjoy the holiday season, everyone!

Have a fabulous Friday!
