Cold, dry weather to stick around before rain moves in for Thanksgiving

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Dry and cold through early next week, but already looking ahead to our next rain chance coming at the end of next week!

• Today: Lots of sun, chilly afternoon temps
• Weekend: Cold mornings below freezing, dry
• First Alert Weather Day Thanksgiving and Black Friday: Rain risk, warmer outlook

Sunny, chilly and pleasant for today with high temperatures in the lower 50s. Tonight, temperatures will once again drop below freezing in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

This weekend, the cold air stays with us with afternoon high temperatures in the low to mid-50s. Morning temperatures will continue to stay below freezing. Dry and cold weather will stay all the way through Tuesday.
