Rain, cooler temperatures return over the weekend

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Saturday will be nice with mostly sunny for most of the day. Rain chances will start to return for the higher elevations during the afternoon and evening.

• Saturday: Nice and sunny, rain chances in the mountains
• Sunday: A couple rounds of rain possible
• Next Week: Sunny skies return, highs around 80

As far as temperatures go, we will be hovering around 80 degrees and close to, or a little below average for the middle of September.

Saturday night and into Sunday, a round of rain could be moving through the area. This will highly impact what happens Sunday afternoon/evening as a cold front moves through the region.

As of writing, rain will likely be scattered to widespread on Sunday morning and that will limit the rain chances for the afternoon/evening Sunday.

Hurricane Lee will produce tropical storm-like conditions across the northeast as we head through the weekend, and we are now watching Tropical Depression Fifteen which will likely become a major hurricane as it heads toward Bermuda for the beginning to middle of next week.
