Cold Weather Advisory Issued as Temperatures Drop in Charlotte

Cold Weather Hits the Queen City!

Charlotte, it’s time to bundle up! As we gear up for a chilly weekend, Mother Nature is showing us what winter really feels like. With a Winter Weather Advisory currently in effect for the mountain areas until 7 AM Saturday, our lovely city is bracing for some frosty fun and cooler temperatures. And folks, if you live in Stanly, Anson, Richmond, Lancaster, or Chesterfield counties, heads up! A Freeze Watch is in place from 3 AM to 9 AM on Friday. Better keep those jackets handy!

Current Weather Conditions

Tonight in Charlotte, expect a night that’s partly cloudy and cold. Temperatures will flirt dangerously close to the freezing mark in the Piedmont. If you’re planning on heading out, don’t forget to grab your warmest coat! Meanwhile, our mountain friends will experience some snow action, with on and off snow showers taking place. Sounds like a winter wonderland up there!

What’s Coming Up? A Quick Forecast

Friday morning starts near that pesky freezing point in Charlotte, especially in some neighborhoods that might just dip to freezing. So, make sure your car is warmed up before hitting the road! Fortunately, the sun will come out to play afterward, with highs only creeping up to around 50 degrees. And if you think that’s it, hold on tight! It’s going to be a breezy day. Winds could gust up to 25 mph, adding a brisk chill to the air. So make sure your hat is secure!

If you’re in the mountains, watch for more on and off snow showers. It seems like they’re in for a snowy ride!

Now, let’s talk about Saturday! Expect highs in the upper 50s with plenty of sunshine to warm you up a bit. We might even start to feel like we’re thawing out! Sunday continues the trend with highs reaching the low 60s. Don’t forget to take a moment and enjoy those sunny skies!

Final Thoughts: Stay Warm!

As we close out the week, remember to take care of yourself in these colder temps. It’s a great time to sip on hot cocoa, cozy up with a blanket, and catch up on your favorite shows. So whether you’re snowed in or soaking up some sunshine, there’s something for everyone. Have a great weekend, Charlotte! And, of course, stay warm!
