Sunny Saturday in store ahead of rainy First Alert Weather Day on Sunday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - We will kick off the weekend with a seasonable and dry Saturday before periods of rain become likely for our next First Alert Weather Day on Sunday.

• Saturday: Increasing clouds, dry and mild.
• Sunday: Periods of rain likely, chilly.
• Next Wednesday: Another round of rain, storms likely.

Friday was another unseasonably warm day, but our cooler temperatures are working in for the weekend.

With partly cloudy skies overnight, temperatures will bottom out in the low to mid 30s across the Charlotte area and the mid to upper 20s in the mountains.

Clouds will gradually increase over the course of our Saturday, but it will stay dry and seasonable! High temperatures will reach the low to mid 50s.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: By Sunday, a low-pressure system will bring in the likelihood of rain and even the potential of a little wintry mix in the mountains. Keep the umbrellas and coats handy as high temperatures will only reach the mid 40s.

We dry out by Monday, with the exception of flurries in the mountains, before another low-pressure system moves overhead midweek. Another First Alert Weather Day is in place for Wednesday as rain and even storms will be possible.
