Charlotte is starting Wednesday with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the low 70s, but the afternoon will turn hot and bright. The high should reach about 89 degrees, with a light northwest breeze and almost no chance of rain.
Sunny Stretch Runs Through Friday
Wednesday brings plenty of sunshine and northwest winds of 3 to 8 mph, with afternoon temperatures climbing through the 80s. The air should turn noticeably drier as the day goes on, making the heat feel a little less oppressive than recent muggy stretches.
Thursday looks even cooler by July standards, with a sunny high near 86 and a low around 67 Thursday night. Friday rebounds to around 90 degrees under mostly sunny skies, while winds remain light and rain chances stay near zero, according to the National Weather Service.
Storm Chances Return This Weekend
Saturday starts partly sunny and warm, with a high near 90, but a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives after 3 p.m. Saturday night brings a 30% chance of rain and storms, so outdoor plans may want a backup option.
Sunday is the bigger weather turn: showers are possible before the afternoon, followed by likely showers and thunderstorms, with a 70% chance of precipitation and a high near 85. Storm chances remain elevated Monday, when showers and thunderstorms are likely and temperatures should top out near 84 before a partly sunny Tuesday.
