Warm St. Patrick's Day weekend in the forecast

Posted: Updated:
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -

Looks like we have the Luck of the Irish on our side this weekend!  Most are expected to remain dry and warm this weekend.   High pressure to our Southeast will be pumping warm air into the Carolinas. 

How warm?

Temperatures Saturday are expected to climb into the mid 70s, even with cloud cover increasing throughout the day.  While most will stay dry, a few showers cannot be ruled out as a disturbance passes just to our north.  That will result in stout breeze, especially in the afternoon.

Temperatures will be slightly cooler on Sunday, but most will still make it to 70°.

Cooler air returns to the Carolinas by the middle of next week.
