Charlotte residents woke up to a wet and dreary morning today as heavy rain moved into the area, causing a potentially challenging commute for many. The rain, part of the first of two rounds expected this week, is set to continue throughout the day, making for a damp and gloomy Wednesday.
The forecast for today calls for cloudy skies with isolated evening showers possible. However, as the night progresses, the rain is expected to increase, leading to a wet morning commute for those venturing out on Wednesday. Temperatures are forecasted to reach the mid-50s.
A WeatherWise Alert has been issued for Wednesday, warning of a breezy, wet, and cooler day ahead. Widespread rain is expected to persist through the first half of the day, with a brief break possible in the afternoon. Another burst of showers and storms may occur in the evening, with the highest threat of isolated storms south of Charlotte. High temperatures are anticipated to reach the low 60s, with rain totals ranging from 0.50 to 1 inch or more.
Thursday is expected to bring mostly sunny and dry conditions to Charlotte, with highs in the low 70s. Friday will see increasing cloud cover, with isolated afternoon showers possible. However, rain is predicted to become widespread overnight into Saturday, with the second round of heavy rain expected. Rain totals for Saturday could range from 1 to 2 inches, potentially leading to a heightened risk of flooding due to already saturated ground.
With the ground already soaked from Wednesday’s rain and the additional rainfall expected on Friday and Saturday, there is a growing concern for possible flooding in the Charlotte area. Residents are advised to stay informed about the weather conditions and prepare for the possibility of flooding over the weekend.
