Quiet, calm stretch of weather majority of the week

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – Dry high pressure nosing in from the north will be battling gathering storminess to our south over the next few days, with dry weather likely winning the battle here.

Today: Clouds and sun, seasonably warm
This week: Mainly dry, pleasant temps
Weekend: Watching rain chances Saturday

FIRST ALERT: Mixed clouds and sunshine around the #CLT area today, highs will be in the upper 70s to near 80°, right about where we should be for this time of the year. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/W1wALsKUk9

We’re forecasting times of clouds and sunshine over the next few days with very low rain chances and afternoon readings in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees through Thursday. Nighttime lows will fall into the 50s each night this week.

FIRST ALERT: Most of this week will bring rain-free weather & seasonal temps - maybe just a little bit below normal thru Thursday before rain chances ramp up a bit. We're watching Saturday closely...it may turn out wet if some model data verifies. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/TDY7sORqTU

The forecast gets a little fuzzy toward the end of the workweek and the start of the holiday weekend. Low pressure stewing off the southeast coast is forecast to drift north and at least one reliable long-range model brings rain our way on Saturday.

Obviously, a forecast this far out will be adjusted over time, so I urge you to keep outdoor plans loose going into the weekend and check back with us often. Highs will probably run in the cooler 70s Friday and over the weekend.

FIRST ALERT: The holiday weekend around the #CLT region could - could - be interrupted by some rain on Saturday if some of the early model guidance we're looking at turns out right. Not set in stone just yet, so check back with us. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/cpzHBufZKJ
