Residents of Charlotte, N.C., should prepare to keep their rain jackets and umbrellas close by, as the National Weather Service is forecasting a series of chances for showers and thunderstorms in the coming week. According to NWS, there's a consistent glimpse of grey skies ahead with humidity levels sticking high around 93 percent. Today's weather sets the stage with a 30 percent chance of rain and patchy fog in the morning, while the high is expected to hover near a comfortable 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
Looking to tonight, shower odds slightly increase up to a 40 percent chance before the clock strikes 4 a.m., and temperatures are predicted to dip down to 66 degrees. Winds from the northeast should stay mellow, but can quickly rise to gust as high as 18 mph. Charlotte's Sunday follows suit, offering mixed sunshine and potential thunderstorms after 2 p.m., sustaining the pattern of patchy precipitation and gusts akin to today's bluster.
