CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Drivers across Charlotte should prepare for slower commutes Tuesday morning, as patchy clouds and humidity reduce visibility on key roadways like I-77 and I-85. Early risers may notice the damp air before clearer skies gradually return by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service office in Greenville-Spartanburg, Tuesday will bring partly sunny skies with highs near 80 degrees. Calm winds shift from the northeast around 3 to 6 mph, keeping conditions mild. Tuesday night cools into the low 60s, a comfortable break from recent heat.
By Wednesday, skies turn bright and sunny, with highs topping out near 79. The cooler stretch should hold through Friday, offering a pleasant lead-in to the Labor Day holiday weekend. Commuters will see fewer disruptions midweek as clear skies dominate, though overnight lows in the upper 50s may bring a crisp feel to mornings.
For Charlotte residents planning Labor Day travel, conditions look favorable so far. Forecasters expect mostly sunny days, dry weather, and highs around 80 through the weekend. That means smoother drives along I-77, I-85, and I-485 with little weather-related impact expected. Still, officials urge drivers to remain alert, especially during holiday traffic surges.
The next several days bring stable, comfortable weather to Mecklenburg County, giving residents a chance to enjoy outdoor events without disruption. Weather alerts remain minimal, but officials recommend checking daily updates as Labor Day approaches in case of changes.
