Charlotte can expect a wet day, with showers and thunderstorms likely through the afternoon. It will be cloudy, with a high near 81°F and light winds turning south-southwest. Patchy fog may linger until 11 a.m., and there’s a 70% chance of rain—mostly light, but heavier in thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service.

Tonight brings a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 10 p.m. Patchy fog may return after 1 a.m., with lows around 71°F and light south winds. Rainfall could total a quarter to half an inch.

Wednesday will stay wet, with showers and possible thunderstorms in the morning, afternoon, and again after 4 p.m. It will be cloudy, with a high near 85°F and light southwest winds. There’s a 60% chance of rain—mostly light, but heavier in thunderstorms.

The National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook warns of "multiple rounds of widespread showers and thunderstorms expected today and into tonight." Rain totals could reach 1-3 inches, especially in the NC Foothills. With the ground already wet, some areas may face isolated flooding, particularly in spots with poor drainage. The good news—no hazardous weather is expected from Wednesday through Monday.

After Wednesday night’s 40% chance of showers before 11 p.m., the rest of the week will see about a 30% chance of rain each day, with highs in the upper 80s to around 90°F. You might get some sun by Sunday, but keep the umbrella handy, Charlotte.
