Following a pleasant evening, tonight will be cool again with lows in the 40s and 50s under clear skies.

The weekend will start out dry and pleasant but end wet and stormy. Saturday will be mostly sunny and very warm with highs in the mid to upper 80s. The humidity level will still be low Saturday, but definitely increase going into Sunday.

Sunday will start out dry, but as the cold front approaches the Carolinas from the west, showers and storms will develop late in the afternoon. Before the storms move in, highs will climb into the middle across the Piedmont.

FIRST ALERT: There's zero chance for any rain today or Saturday around the #CLT area, but after a dry start, Sunday probably ends with a thunderstorm risk. A few could be on the heavy side...no washout by any means, but I am monitoring. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/Y583rGxBMc

More unsettled weather can be expected on Monday with the risk for scattered showers and storms continuing; highs will top out in the middle 80s again.

Tuesday and Wednesday look dry with highs holding in the middle 80s before a thunderstorm chance re-enters the forecast Thursday.

No rain in the forecast around the #CLT area today or tomorrow but Sunday does bring a thunderstorm risk, especially late in the day. That storms risk probably continues into Monday as a slow-moving front moves thru the region. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx pic.twitter.com/9LtxrZvBlj
