Charlotte Weather Update: A Soothing Start to the Week
Hey there, Charlotte! Are you ready for a rollercoaster of weather this Veterans Day and beyond? This weekend kicked off with some lovely sunshine, but as Monday rolls in, it’s a different story altogether. Get your umbrellas ready because clouds and showers are making their grand entrance across the Carolinas!
Morning Showers and Fog
As you head out for work on Monday morning, you might encounter some lingering rain and patchy fog. It might not be the ideal way to start the day, but don’t let it get you down! Expect things to brighten up by the afternoon. For those of you who enjoy the early morning hustle, be sure to drive carefully as visibility may be low.
Temperatures Rising
As the day progresses, temperatures are expected to warm up nicely, reaching into the 70s across the Piedmont and Foothills. Meanwhile, up in the High Country, you’ll find the temperatures sitting comfortably in the 60s. Sounds pretty nice, doesn’t it?
A Cool Shift Ahead
Don’t get used to those warm temps just yet! A strong ridge of high pressure is making its way in from the north, and it’s bringing some chilly air along for the ride. Tuesday and Wednesday will see a noticeable drop in temperatures, with highs landing in the 50s and 60s. Definitely a change of pace! You might want to dig out those cozy sweaters and jackets that you tucked away.
Scattered Showers Ahead
As we look toward Thursday, it seems like the clouds will begin to fill the sky again. A new rainmaking system is on the horizon, but forecasts are saying that it might not bring a lot of heavy rain. Instead, we could see some scattered showers throughout the day. In Charlotte, you might find yourself struggling to see the mercury rise above the 60-degree mark thanks to those overcast skies. Grab your raincoat, just in case!

But don’t worry, the sun will make a glorious return! By the end of the week, we’re looking at plenty of sunshine and dry conditions. Next weekend is shaping up to be gorgeous, with clear skies and cool temperatures ranging in the 50s and 60s—perfect for enjoying the beautiful Charlotte outdoors!
