Comfortable temperatures, humidity levels on tap for the weekend

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - We’ll transition today from the muggy conditions we’ve endured all summer to more comfortable temperatures and humidity levels as we head into the weekend.

Much lower rain chances today
Going from muggy to marvelous
Temps hold below-average next week

The trend is your friend....we'll transition from muggy to marvelous over the next 24 hours around #CLT & the @wbtv_news area. Hold on, it feel so much better around here tomorrow! #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/gfssxt06By

Last night’s stormy cold front is slowly drifting south across the Charlotte area this morning, and it may continue to bring scattered showers this morning. However, as we move into the afternoon, partly sunny skies are forecast with highs in the middle 80s and just a tiny chance for a stray parting shower.

A few parting showers around #CLT & the southeast part of the @wbtv_news area this morning, but the trend will be for more sunshine going into the afternoon. Still might be a stray PM thundershower, but the chance is no more than 20%. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/RoSaj8obe8

Clear skies tonight will allow for the coolest weather in six weeks, as lows drop to the upper 50s to lower 60s.

The humidity level will take a drastic drop on Saturday, making for an awesome day! Sunday will be just a tad more humid, but still nice and both days look dry around the Piedmont. Afternoon readings will hold in the middle 80s on both days.

Rain chances will be low all weekend long around #CLT, but there may be a shower in the mountains Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, cooler than normal temps & comfortable humidity levels are the talk, enjoy! #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/OGyn1hoUii

There may be a pop-up thundershower over the mountains Sunday and another chance for scattered storms develops for all of us early next week. Highs next week will stay in the middle 80s, slightly below normal for mid-August.

Hope you have a great Friday and weekend!
