Charlotte was waking Sunday to cloudy skies and temperatures near 57 degrees at Charlotte Douglas, with patchy fog possible. Showers and thunderstorms are possible Sunday.
Sunday's forecast calls for a chance of showers and thunderstorms, a less-wet outlook than the scenario in Saturday's Hoodline forecast. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Charlotte area.
Clouds And A Chance Of Showers Sunday
The main concern Sunday is the possibility of showers and thunderstorms, with storm chances highest in the afternoon.
Tonight remains cloudy with a chance of showers before 9 p.m., followed by patchy fog and a smaller shower chance. The low should settle near 62.
Sunny Stretch Arrives Monday
Fog may linger Monday morning before skies become partly sunny, with a high near 77. Monday night turns mostly clear, and temperatures are forecast to fall to about 53.
Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast to be sunny, with highs near 72 and 76 and overnight lows near 49 and 48 to 49, respectively. Sunny skies continue Thursday as the high climbs to around 81; Friday closes out the workweek.
How the Temperatures Compare With Normal
For a seasonal benchmark, National Weather Service climate normals for Charlotte, based on 1991-2020 data, put the October 4 normal high at 77.3°F and low at 55.7°F, according to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg. Monday's forecast high near 77 is close to that high benchmark, while the forecast overnight lows of about 48 to 53 are below the normal low. These are daily October 4 normals, offered as a reference rather than a monthly average.
Sunday plans may need some flexibility, especially in the afternoon when thunderstorm chances peak; patchy fog is also possible. Monday through Friday look more favorable for commutes, errands and outdoor time.
