CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Thick mist settles over the Queen City this morning, softening the skyline and dimming headlights along I-77 and I-85. It’s a slow, cautious start for drivers across Mecklenburg County, but patience pays off — bright blue skies and fall warmth will quickly reclaim the Carolinas by midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, early fog will lift by 8 a.m., followed by sunshine and calm winds. Temperatures will climb into the mid-60s today, reaching near 70°F Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure anchors over the region. That means several crisp, comfortable afternoons ahead — ideal for yardwork, leaf cleanup, or early Veterans Day event setup later in the week.
Winds shift lightly from the northwest to southwest by midweek, helping reinforce the mild trend. Nights remain cool but not cold, with lows dipping into the lower 40s before rising slightly toward the weekend. Thursday and Friday stay mostly sunny with highs around 70°F, a rare November gift for those squeezing in outdoor projects before the next front.
The weekend could bring slightly cloudier skies, but no rain is expected until late Friday or early Saturday. For now, the region sits in a steady fall groove — bright days, dry air, and no hint yet of early winter chill. Still, forecasters say cooler air could push south later next week, hinting at the first seasonal temperature shift before Thanksgiving travel season begins.
