Charlotte, NC – Morning drivers face slick roads and reduced visibility as light rain and patchy fog linger across Charlotte early Friday, with more unsettled weather building into the weekend and early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, clouds and damp conditions hold steady overnight, with fog thickest through sunrise. Skies gradually clear Friday, bringing highs near 80°F and a brighter stretch for outdoor activities Saturday across Uptown, Matthews, and Lake Norman. However, by Sunday, a renewed chance of showers and thunderstorms moves in—especially after 2 p.m.—potentially disrupting travel and outdoor plans, with the highest rain threat arriving Sunday night into Monday.
Motorists should plan for slowdowns during the morning commute and remain alert for ponding on secondary roads through Monday. Keep phones charged in case of power outages from isolated storms, and reschedule outdoor events to Saturday for the best weather window. Temperatures rise back into the mid-80s Sunday and Monday before another round of scattered storms continues into Tuesday.
This pattern of patchy fog, followed by sun, then storms, repeats through midweek. More advisories or weather updates are likely as conditions evolve.
