Charlotte is waking Saturday to partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s, with the afternoon expected to top out near 68 degrees. Northeast winds around 10 mph, with gusts up to 18 mph, will make Halloween feel noticeably cooler than Friday’s near-80-degree warmth, but the forecast stays dry.
Halloween Evening Turns Jacket-Worthy
Partly sunny skies will gradually give way to more clouds through the afternoon, while temperatures ease back through the 60s after sunset. Saturday night should remain mostly cloudy with a low near 51, making an extra layer a smart accessory for trick-or-treating and outdoor plans.
The National Weather Service expects the cooler air to linger Sunday, when Charlotte should see a high near 67 under partly sunny skies. Sunday night will dip to about 50, followed by a mostly cloudy Monday near 70.
Warmup Arrives Before Midweek Rain
Temperatures rebound to around 74 Tuesday, still with only a slight chance of rain. Shower and thunderstorm chances rise Wednesday, with a 50% chance of precipitation and a high near 74, followed by another 50% chance of showers Thursday and a high near 76.
Friday stays fairly warm near 74 with a chance of showers, but no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Charlotte area. For now, the weekend looks like a mostly dry one, with the main forecast decision being whether the costume needs a jacket.
