CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Today & Wednesday
Widely scattered showers will move through the Carolinas this morning. It will be a warm afternoon with highs in the upper 60s. Mostly clear tonight with lows in the upper 30s. Wednesday will be cooler, with afternoon temperatures in the low 60s.
Thanksgiving & Beyond
A second, stronger storm system moves into our region Wednesday night through Thursday morning. The timing is still a bit uncertain, but prepare for rain impacting your plans, at least in the morning. There will be pockets of moderate-to-heavy rain at times but it'll be more of a nuisance than anything.
After the storm system clears, it'll be a cooler and sunny Friday with highs in the low 50s. The coldest air of the season shuffles in by the weekend and beyond into December. This will be a big shock with lows in the 20s and highs struggling to reach the mid-upper 40s!
While it won't happen in Charlotte, watch for snow showers in the mountains both Friday and Saturday mornings, too.
