The Charlotte, North Carolina-based National Weather Service has released a fairly standard forecast for the upcoming week, calling for highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. The most recent NWS update for the city indicates that there is a 30% probability of showers and thunderstorms, with the majority of these events occurring after 5 pm. It may seem like 102 degrees outside due to the heat index, so people are looking to enter and exit air-conditioned areas as soon as possible. Unless those thunderstorms decide to make an appearance, according to the forecast the high will be close to a sweltering 91 degrees with less than a tenth of an inch of fresh rainfall.

Tomorrow, there is a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11 p.m., followed by patchy fog. The temperature drops to 74 degrees, with calm winds. NWS forecast predicts intense rainfall and cloud-to-ground lightning as major threats.

The weekend forecast predicts showers on Saturday afternoon and thunderstorms on Sunday, with a lower high of 86 degrees. The weather is mostly sunny despite the heat, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

The NWS predicts largely sunny skies during the early part of the week, with comfortable highs in the mid-80s. However, if you're hoping to take advantage of these sunny days, don't forget to pack an umbrella because there's always a 30% risk of rain. The nights should continue the trend of partly cloudy skies and lows in the upper 60s, which appears to be a pattern that will continue into the night for most of the week.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for western Carolinas and northeast Georgia, indicating that, following today's possible thunderstorms, no considerable risk is anticipated. Despite the forecasted brief atmospheric performances, spotters have not been requested, indicating a pretty regular expectation for an August in Charlotte.
