Charlotte is starting Tuesday, November 3, with clear skies and temperatures around 50 degrees, but the jacket weather will not last long. Sunshine should push the thermometer to about 76 this afternoon, setting up an unusually warm stretch before rain and a few thunderstorms move into the forecast.
The National Weather Service expects light east winds of 3 to 7 mph and almost no rain chance Tuesday. The broader outlook puts temperatures several degrees above normal through Wednesday, making this feel more like a late-summer encore than the start of November.
Sunny Tuesday Gives Way To Cloudier Wednesday
Wednesday should still be warm, reaching near 77 degrees, though clouds will thicken. Isolated to scattered showers could begin early Wednesday morning and increase overnight into early Thursday.
The timing builds on Monday’s Charlotte forecast, which already flagged a warm Tuesday and a wetter turn later in the week. For outdoor dinners, sports or a midweek stroll, Wednesday afternoon looks much friendlier than Wednesday night.
Rain Chances Hang Around Through Friday
Thursday stays warm and humid, with a high near 77 and a chance of rain before 1 p.m.; a few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out later. Thursday night remains unsettled, with a 60% chance of rain and storms, while Friday brings a smaller chance of rain and a high near 75.
Weekend Forecast Looks Drier And Cooler
The pattern finally gets a reset Saturday, when mostly sunny skies and a high near 74 should make for the week’s easier outdoor window. Sunday looks mostly sunny near 70, followed by a sunny Monday near 65.
No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Charlotte area in the supplied forecast. Drivers should watch for wet roads and reduced visibility during the late-week rain, while anyone making plans now can take advantage of Tuesday and Saturday’s drier skies.
