Mostly mid-level cloud cover is expected across the area through much of Sunday. The high should reach only 67 degrees, with a northeast breeze and a small chance of rain.
Clouds Keep Sunday Cooler
Mostly cloudy skies will hold temperatures below the recent warm spell, with the northeast wind running around 6 to 9 mph. The latest outlook is notably drier and cooler than an earlier forecast, which had called for a warmer Sunday and a higher shower chance, according to Hoodline.
The National Weather Service says the region’s cool, damp-feeling air pattern should weaken by Monday. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Charlotte area.
Sunny Warmup Arrives Before Rain Returns
Monday should turn mostly sunny with a high near 71, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 76. Wednesday could reach 77 degrees. A frontal band may approach Wednesday night as precipitation probabilities increase, especially across the western half of the forecast area.
Rain becomes more likely Thursday, when showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms are expected with another high near 77. Above-normal temperatures continue Friday, with small precipitation probabilities lingering, while Saturday should be mostly sunny and reach about 74.
Sunday Planning Notes
A light jacket will make sense early Sunday, especially with the northeast breeze and clouds hanging around. Outdoor plans should stay mostly workable, but the wetter stretch later in the week is worth keeping on the calendar.
