Charlotte is starting Tuesday under mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 75 degrees, but the clouds will give way to a warmer afternoon near 86. It is a brief break from the recent heat buildup, with the mercury set to climb back into the 90s before the week is over.
Clouds Thin As Tuesday Warms Up
The afternoon should turn partly sunny, with an east-northeast breeze at 5 to 8 mph and only a 3% chance of rain. Tuesday night will be partly cloudy and noticeably cooler, with a low near 64. The National Weather Service expects the mostly dry pattern to hold through the middle of the week.
Summer Refuses To Clock Out
Sunny skies return Wednesday with a high near 89, followed by 91 on Thursday and 94 on Friday. Rain chances remain minimal through Friday, although a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms begins to appear late Friday and grows over the weekend.
Weekend Storm Chances Creep Higher
Saturday and Sunday should stay mostly sunny, with highs near 91 and a slight chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Monday looks less settled, with a high near 89 and a 50% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, followed by likely storms Monday night.
No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Charlotte area in the current forecast. The setup is a meaningful adjustment from Hoodline's earlier weekend forecast, with the immediate focus now on a dry Tuesday and a steady warmup before storm chances become more noticeable early next week.
