Partly cloudy skies turn mostly cloudy as moisture gradually moves back into the Carolinas from the west tonight into tomorrow with a cold front bringing widespread rain to our area early Sunday.
Thanksgiving Day begins with rather brisk conditions under partly cloudy skies. Gusty winds in the higher elevations will slowly subside into the afternoon hours.
For those who traveling over the next 24 hours, there’s no great cause for concern as this cold front will only produce a few scattered showers across the WBTV viewing the day before Thanksgiving.
A First Alert is in effect as a cold front drives widespread rain showers along with widely scattered thunderstorms in the Carolinas tonight lasting through Saturday.
Highs today are soaring into the mid-60s under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies as a result of a southerly flow of winds ahead of our next frontal passage.
A relatively weak cold front continues to work southeast across the Carolinas today producing light showers for the better half of the first day of the workweek.
The cold air is here to stay for all intents and purposes. However, a slight uptick in temperatures will make the bitter chill a bit more bearable over the next few days.
The front will push through overnight providing rain showers the majority of region lasting through tomorrow morning's commute, therefore, we're issued a First Alert for tomorrow.
Increasing cloud cover should be expected through the afternoon along with a few passing showers mainly west of I-77 ahead of steadier post-sunset downpours over the Charlotte metro area.
It appears the winter chill will stick around through the weekend. Friday's high temperatures are slowly climbing towards the mid to upper 50s under sunny skies and subsiding northwesterly breezes.
We kick off Friday with another shot of chilly air as temperatures are starting out in the upper 30s and 40s area-wide under clear skies. Mostly cloud-free skies give way to ample sunshine for the last day of the workweek.
Expect wall to wall sunshine across the Carolinas today as high pressure makes a comeback. Despite the prevalence of sunshine, afternoon high temperatures will only manage to reach to the mid-60s in the Charlotte metro area with highs in the Mountains only reaching the low 50s.
The cold front is set to move over the Carolinas this weekend producing a generous amount of cloud cover, but don’t expect much rainfall at least of the first half of the weekend.
