Charlotte, N.C. – Drivers heading into Sunday morning along I-85 and I-77 should expect cool, clear air and possible patchy fog before conditions warm into the 80s by afternoon. The comfortable start may tempt residents outdoors, but breezy winds could complicate early travel, especially for high-profile vehicles.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, skies will remain mostly sunny through Sunday with highs around 85 degrees. Light northeast winds may strengthen into the afternoon, shifting slightly by Monday with gusts reaching 18 mph. While most of the weekend looks calm, a weak system will bring a 20 percent chance of showers late Monday night.
Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County will see daily highs between 80 and 85 degrees through midweek, with lows settling in the low 60s. Those with outdoor plans should take advantage of Sunday’s sunshine but keep an eye on changing conditions late Monday. Drivers along I-85 and I-77 are urged to slow down in breezy stretches and remain alert for overnight fog pockets.
Residents should charge devices, stay weather-aware, and prepare for cooler evenings as fall conditions strengthen across western North Carolina. The next round of rainfall could arrive Monday night into early Tuesday, though most areas will stay dry.
Warnings remain minimal for now, but more advisories are possible as the week progresses.
