The National Weather Service (NWS) in Charlotte, North Carolina, has noted a mostly cloudy day ahead with isolated showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, and while the humidity sits high at 87%, the chances of precipitation remain relatively low at 20%. According to the latest report updated early this morning, temperatures are expected to reach a high near 88 degrees with a playful southwest wind traveling at 6 to 15 mph, gusts possibly reaching 24 mph.
As Charlotte residents navigate the fickleness of a cloudy sky, they should prepare for isolated showers that may pop up before and after the noon hour, nighttime brings a faint chance of precipitation that drops as the sun dips below the horizon; the anticipated low around 68 degrees should bring some reprieve from the day's warmth, while the southwest wind calms and turns west after midnight, and while the weather plays its unpredictable game, those with outdoor plans may want to keep an umbrella close at hand.
Looking toward Monday, while the day starts sunny and the mercury is expected to climb to a high around 89, the NWS predicts a calm morning that turns when the wind picks up slightly in the afternoon from the southwest, bringing with it a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Monday night's forecast suggests notably cloudier conditions with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with expected rainfall ranging from a light sprinkle to a soaking quarter of an inch, potentially more in areas hit by thunderstorms.
The Hazardous Weather Outlook, issued by the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg SC, doesn't expect any troublesome weather today or tonight for the region covering northeast Georgia, Piedmont North Carolina, western North Carolina, and Upstate South Carolina but come Monday the attitude shifts; scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms could develop and there's a warning that some of these storms may turn severe, threatening with damaging winds, a shift in the weather pattern that warrants keeping an eye on the sky for those quick to turn conditions.
