Cold Air Coming to Charlotte: A Winter Preview!

Hey there, Charlotte! It feels like just yesterday we were soaking up those warm fall days, but guess what? A *big shake-up* is on the way! Bundle up, because by Wednesday night, we’ll be getting a taste of winter that we haven’t seen in quite some time.

What’s Happening?

As the weekend comes to an end, it’s time to say goodbye to the warm temperatures that have lingered. A **sharp cold front** is set to slice through the Carolinas, bringing with it the coldest air we’ve experienced in over six months. Can you believe it? It’s just the beginning of fall, yet we’re already discussing frosty mornings!

Now, don’t panic just yet! Monday morning will start off relatively mild, with temperatures hanging around 60 degrees in the Queen City. You can expect high temperatures to barely scrape the 70s on Monday, especially in the Piedmont area. It will be a brief farewell to those comfortable, warm days!

The Big Cool Down

Once we wake up on Tuesday, though, get ready for a *significant drop*. Overnight Tuesday morning, the mercury is set to dip into the **30s and 40s** across the region. That sounds chilly, doesn’t it? While we’ll enjoy some sunshine on Tuesday, high temperatures will only reach the **50s and 60s**—a noticeable change from the recent warmth.

By Wednesday afternoon, temperatures will fall even further. Expect highs to struggle as they sink into the 40s and 50s. That’s right, folks! We are likely staring down our first 30-degree morning since April 7—189 days ago!

What about the Rest of the Week?

As we move into the rest of the week, temperatures will gradually recover. However, don’t get your hopes up too high just yet. It may be Sunday before we crack the 70-degree mark again in Charlotte!

But if you’re thinking of planning any outdoor activities, you might want to keep your eyes peeled for the weather. There’s a slight chance of **stray showers** mainly in the High Country on Monday morning and potentially some more Tuesday night. But for the most part, rain chances are looking slim throughout the week.

Here’s the Quick Breakdown

  • Tonight: Mostly clear skies with a slight chance of a stray shower. Low of 62°. Wind out of the southwest at 5-15 mph.
  • Monday: Sunny skies with cool breezes. High of 72°. Wind shifting northwest at 5-15 mph, with gusts possibly over 20 mph.
  • Monday Night: Clear and much cooler, with a low of 46°. Winds continuing from the northwest at 5-15 mph.
  • Tuesday: Cool with a few clouds, high reaching 66°. A gentle northwest wind at 5-10 mph.

Prepare for the Chill!

So there you have it, folks! A chilly forecast right around the corner means it’s time to break out those cozy sweaters, boots, and maybe even a hot cup of cider. Who’s ready for a little winter magic in the middle of fall? Stay warm and enjoy the changing seasons, Charlotte!
