Charlotteans are waking up to a veil of fog and a misty morning this Sunday, with the humidity measured at a heavyweight 93%. The National Weather Service reports a modest 58°F, a dew point at 56°F, and visibility stretching to 1.75 miles as of their last update at 6:52 am EST. According to the NWS website, the day promises mostly cloudy skies with a high near a balmy 74 degrees.
As the afternoon approaches, residents can expect to give up their calm for a marinade of southwest winds picking up to 5 to 7 mph. The forecast includes a slight chance to quickly encounter rain between the hours of 9 am and 10 am. While that chance hovers at an unimposing 20%, it's enough to have umbrellas at the ready.
The night will feature the sky clearing up, making way for partly cloudy visions and temperatures dipping to a low around 61. These conditions will be escorted by a south southwest wind traveling at 6 to 10 mph, with possible gusts reaching 18 mph, ensuring the evening keeps a slight chill.
Looking ahead tomorrow, Charlotte will experience an increase in temperatures with the mercury aiming for 78 degrees. But the warmth comes with a caveat - a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 4 pm followed by a disappearing act of the sun behind clouds. The winds are set to shift from west southwest at 8 to 10 mph to northwest in the late afternoon, with strong gusts that might as well split trees up to 18 mph.
The rest of the weekend trends towards sunny, with Sunday's high rounding out at a comfortable 66 and light northeast winds. And for those planning further ahead, the NWS forecasts a sunny start to the next week, though showers may re-enter the picture by Tuesday night, lingering into Wednesday with a 60% chance of precipitation.
