Charlotte, North Carolina – Sun and smoke will dominate Tuesday, June 3rd, as temperatures climb to 86°F and haze from Canadian wildfires lingers across North Carolina.
According to the National Weather Service, Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County could experience limited visibility and degraded air quality by mid-morning Tuesday due to smoke drifting from wildfires burning in Canada. Although no official air quality alerts have been issued as of Monday night, residents sensitive to poor air conditions—particularly children, seniors, and those with asthma—should limit prolonged outdoor activity.
Skies will remain clear and winds light on Tuesday, allowing stagnant air to trap pollutants closer to the surface. Commuters along I-77, I-85, and the Billy Graham Parkway may notice a smoky tint to the skyline and reduced visibility during early and late daylight hours.
Tuesday night will stay calm and clear, with a low near 62°F. The dry stretch continues through midweek before rain chances return Friday afternoon.
Looking Ahead:
Wednesday and Thursday remain mostly sunny with highs in the mid-80s, offering classic early-June summer weather. By Friday, scattered showers and storms may begin a soggier pattern heading into the weekend.
