Charlotte, N.C. – After patchy fog and lingering clouds Sunday, Charlotte is set for a shift into sunshine as a dry pattern takes hold. The week ahead features mostly sunny skies, warmer afternoons, and a notable lack of rainfall across the Carolinas.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will bring full sunshine with highs near 78 and north-northeast winds gusting up to 18 mph. Tuesday follows with highs in the upper 70s, and by midweek, temperatures will climb into the low 80s under mostly sunny skies. NOAA’s 6–10 day precipitation outlook places much of the Southeast, including North Carolina, in the “below normal” rainfall zone, signaling that this pattern may persist through mid-September.
For drivers across Mecklenburg County, including I-77 and I-85, the dry stretch promises smooth commutes without major weather delays. Residents, however, should prepare for possible impacts from the lack of rain, including drier soil and stress on gardens and lawns.
The clear skies will make for comfortable late-summer evenings and ideal conditions for outdoor plans. Still, officials advise residents to be cautious with outdoor burning, as fire danger could rise with several consecutive dry days.
The National Weather Service expects this sunny, dry influence to continue well into next weekend, with no meaningful rainfall in the forecast.
