Charlotte, NC – Morning light filters through cool, still air across the Carolinas, the kind that hints at fall but feels more like late September. Calm winds and sunshine continue to dominate this week, setting up several warm, pleasant days before a quick Friday rain system nudges across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, highs will climb into the upper 60s today and near 71°F Wednesday under crystal-clear skies. Light northeast winds will shift south by Thursday, helping temperatures reach the upper 60s to near 70°F — unseasonably warm for early November. With clear nights and calm mornings, light fog may form in rural areas from Rock Hill to Concord, but no major travel hazards are expected.
By Friday evening, a weak cold front slides in from the west, bringing a 40% chance of light rain mainly after 10 p.m. Most showers will be brief, but damp conditions could develop along I-77 and I-85 corridors through early Saturday morning. The system quickly exits, and the weekend rebounds with sunny skies and highs in the lower 70s — ideal for outdoor plans and early Veterans Day events.
Looking ahead, forecasters say the pattern could turn cooler by mid-November, hinting at the South’s first real brush with winter air before Thanksgiving. For now, it’s perfect weather for outdoor work, late leaf cleanup, or even early holiday decorating before the next seasonal change sets in.
