Charlotte is starting Sunday with light rain, foggy pockets and gusty south winds as the remnants of Isaias move across the region. Showers and thunderstorms should taper by late morning, but the wet start could make roads slick and visibility briefly poor.
The latest National Weather Service forecast calls for another half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain, with a high near 74 and wind gusts up to 28 mph. The update follows Saturday’s Hoodline forecast, as the storm’s timing and the week-ahead outlook come into sharper focus.
Rain Tapers By Late Morning
Showers and thunderstorms are most likely through about 11 a.m. Sunday, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a gradual return of brighter conditions. Winds will shift from south to southwest during the afternoon, staying around 10 to 16 mph with occasional stronger gusts.
Anyone driving during the morning downpours should allow extra time and avoid water-covered roads. The regional forecast discussion warns that additional heavy rain could worsen flooding in already saturated areas, although no active weather alerts are listed for Charlotte in the supplied forecast.
Sunny Skies Return For A Warm Week
Sunday night turns mostly clear with a low near 61, followed by a sunny Columbus Day on Monday with a high near 80. Tuesday should reach 84 degrees, and Wednesday looks even warmer at about 87 under clear skies.
Thursday remains sunny and warm near 84, while Friday eases back toward 80. A sharper cooldown arrives Saturday, when mostly sunny skies accompany a high near 70 and a chilly overnight low around 44.
