Charlotte is getting a classic late-September warmup Tuesday, with clear skies, light winds and an afternoon high near 84 degrees after a cool start in the low 60s. The sunshine sticks around all day, with no rain expected and a clear night settling in around 58 degrees.
Sunny Stretch Runs Through Friday
The dry spell continues Wednesday through Friday as temperatures climb from a high near 86 to 88 on Thursday and 89 on Friday. Winds should remain light, making for easy conditions around town whether you are running errands, commuting or squeezing in one more outdoor plan.
Overnight temperatures will gradually rise, from around 61 Wednesday night to 65 Thursday night and about 69 Friday night. In other words, the week will feel more like lingering summer than an early fall preview.
