The start of December is bringing a winter tease to Charlotte, with cold weather setting in by Sunday. As Post-Thanksgiving travel ramps up, temperatures will dip near 32°F at night, and by Monday, rain and snow showers could disrupt morning commutes.
This weather alert calls for caution on roads, particularly in western areas where colder conditions will increase the risk of slick spots. The first significant rainfall of the week arrives Sunday afternoon, with temperatures hovering just above freezing, making the rain-to-snow transition possible later in the evening. Snow accumulation isn’t expected to be severe, but travelers should be prepared for a cold front and wet roads into Monday.
By Tuesday, heavy rain could cause localized flooding, with a 90% chance of showers continuing throughout the day. Keep your coats and umbrellas handy as this cold snap pushes through.
