to your Monday forecast.
Live pictures right now over Banner Elk
where there are some clouds out there,
but still beautiful.
I mean, the mountains, gorgeous,
no sun. Clouds, clouds,
mountains are still gorgeous.
Chris joins us right now with a
look at your forecast. Chris.
Just a regular suit, not a tie dye suit.
We are looking at more clouds ao
moving in here around the lake.
So this is Lake Norman and it's
going to be a overall cloudier y
compared to what we started wit.
It was beautiful blue skies,
more clouds starting to roll in.
But I think one of the more interesting
features of today is the winds.
Today, tomorrow and Wednesday
we have a breezy forecast,
our futurecast wind gush showing
up to about 30 mile per hour
gusts to conclude the afternoon.
So this is the type of forecast.
Got to watch for your trash can
recycling bin because stuff coue
blowing all over the place if ye
bringing that out by tomorrow morning.
Still gusting to around 15 to 20
mile per hour winds and then stl
up to about that 30 to 40 mile r
hour range up in the mountains.
So that's why they're going to
be under a wind advisory going
forward just because of how strg
the winds are going to be.
It's a little bit lighter on Wednesday,
but still expecting gusts at least up to
25 mile per hour plus across the area.
So a breezier forecast.
The reason why is we still
have a really strong low.
Pressure system off towards the north.
Wind is created by pressure differences.
So the lower that a pressure system is,
that can cause a bigger flow of the wind.
That's exactly what we're looking at.
There is a slight chance for a little
bit of rain right along the mountains.
That's overnight tonight.
Not a lot's going to fall and tn
it's going to dissipate as this little
tail of a through moves through.
We should be dry.
Still scurrying some clouds across the
area on Tuesday heading into Wednesday.
High pressure system still
keeping us fairly dry for really
foreseeable future for this wor.
Week,
but then we start to transition
over to a potential weather
forecast by the weekend and bey.
So our afternoon forecast for the mountains,
well, it's going to be cloudy,
see that rain symbol just for
a little bit later on tonight.
But I think you dry most of the,
lower 50s and then about the
mid 60s across the Foothill,
partly cloudy to partly sunny s,
mostly cloudy at times 67 aroune
Charlotte area and down to the South.
Chance at 70 degrees all around Chesterfield
in Chesterfield County. Not a bad day.
Yes, it's a little bit cooler.
We should be in the 70s for
the first day of May,
but it's actually a nice to hava
break from the heat because before you
know it 90s are going to be thep
line for a 7 day really month after month.
So tonight's forecast
still in the cooler side.
Back down to the 30s for the mountains,
we have the upper 40s close to 50 degrees.
For the Charlotte area our
average low is 54 degrees,
so below normal lows as well,
48 to 43 over the coming mornin.
Things and then back to the 50s
with more cloud cover heading io
the weekend after the mountains,
it's back-to-back to back days in the 30s
and then you have the 40s back in action.
Same reason why more cloud cove.
Now let's talk rain chances.
Not really seeing anything for
Charlotte today through Friday
and then of course Saturday.
It rains again.
What gives?
So I mentioned this stat here
that we've had eight weekends
in a row that there's been some
sort of measurable rainfall.
The weekend of the April 8th and 9th,
it was over an inch of rain.
So at least one of the days,
Saturday, Sunday, there's been .
Some of these have been both da.
So what a trend and it looks lie
that trend is not going to be
broken for this coming weekend.
Here's a look what's happening.
Active pattern seeing some rain
move into the 300 mile radius
circle around a travel circle by
Friday night heading into Satur.
So I think it's going to.
Be wet on Saturday.
This is still fairly far out soa
change of 1 degree one mile per hour,
how it's moving can completely
change the path of this forecas.
But for right now Friday night o
Saturday morning that looks to e
locked and loaded for our best chance
for rain by the end of the day.
Saturday this moves into more of
a South Carolina forecast drying
out North Carolina for more rain
moves back in on Monday.
So this is a little bit more ace
in the backside of that forecast
for you got Roofing 7 day forec.
I think the Wells Fargo champiop
is looking good.
Overall, yes,
you do have some rain on Saturd.
Doesn't really look to be a big
thunderstorm maker at this poin,
but the lower to the mid 70s,
at least it's on the warmer sid.
Ideal golf conditions many of
those days because the winds gea
little bit lighter compared to t
we have in the next three days.
And then hey,
back to around 80 degrees Sunday
heading in next week as well.
