Charlotte, NC – Showers and falling temperatures are on the way for the Charlotte region Monday, marking the first real taste of fall this September. Drivers along I-85 and I-77 should prepare for slick conditions during the afternoon commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, a weak disturbance moves through late Monday, bringing a 20 percent chance of showers after midnight, increasing to 30 percent by Tuesday afternoon. Winds from the northeast will reach up to 10 mph, with gusts nearing 18 mph, making travel more difficult on bridges and open stretches of highway.
Sunny skies hold through Sunday evening, but clouds increase overnight with lows dipping into the upper 50s. Monday will feel noticeably cooler, topping out near 82 before showers arrive. The shift means a damp and breezy start to the week, a reminder to keep umbrellas handy and slow down on wet pavement.
By Tuesday, scattered showers continue, holding highs in the mid-70s. Conditions will gradually improve Wednesday, though temperatures remain below normal for September. The latter half of the week looks calmer with plenty of sun, signaling an early hint of fall weather for Charlotte.
Officials advise limiting unnecessary travel during the heaviest showers, checking headlights and wipers, and allowing extra time for commutes.
Showers taper off midweek, but another round of moisture may return next weekend. Updates remain possible as fall weather patterns strengthen.
