Charlotte, NC – Drivers across Mecklenburg County can expect a stretch of warm, dry conditions as North Carolina settles into a fall weather pattern. Sunshine and clear skies will dominate the forecast through the weekend, making for smooth commutes on I-77 and I-85. Officials advise drivers to stay alert for light morning fog in low-lying areas that could briefly reduce visibility.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, Charlotte will see sunny skies Friday with highs near 83 degrees. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 50s, offering cool evenings ideal for outdoor plans. Winds remain light, with only a gentle northeast breeze between 3 and 7 mph.
