Charlotte is waking to clear skies and upper-40s temperatures Sunday, with sunshine set to lift the city to around 70 degrees by afternoon. A northeast breeze will run 8 to 12 mph and may gust to 18 mph, making the morning feel brisk before a comfortable fall afternoon takes over.
Sunny Sunday, Chilly Again After Dark
Rain is not expected Sunday, and skies should stay sunny through the afternoon. After sunset, temperatures will fall to around 45 degrees under clear skies, with the wind easing to 3 to 8 mph from the north-northeast.
Warmth Builds Into Halloween Week
Monday brings another sunny day with a high near 72, followed by a warmer Tuesday near 75. Wednesday and Thursday stay mostly sunny, and the latest outlook reaches 78 Friday before a mild, mostly sunny Halloween near 77.
The National Weather Service says dry high pressure should dominate through most of the coming week, keeping meaningful rain off the calendar. The office is watching the combination of dry air and occasional breezes for possible fire-weather concerns later in the week, though Charlotte has no active watches, warnings or advisories in the supplied forecast.
The forecast is warmer than Saturday's earlier Hoodline outlook, which had Sunday near 69 and the week topping out at 75 on Tuesday. The new numbers extend that dry stretch while pushing the late-week warm-up closer to 80, a useful shift for outdoor plans and the city's Halloween weekend.
