Charlotte, get ready for a week of weather whiplash! We’re starting with chilly rain, warming up to almost summer-like temperatures, and ending with a breezy weekend. Whether you’re planning outdoor adventures, morning jogs, or just figuring out what to wear each day, here’s your guide to what’s coming.
Weekly Forecast Overview
Monday, March 10: A Damp and Cool Start
We’re kicking off the week with lingering clouds and spotty showers. It’s the kind of day where an umbrella and an extra layer will be your best friends. Highs will only reach 54°F (12°C), with a chilly overnight low of 36°F (2°C). The damp air will make it feel even cooler, so bundle up if you’re heading out.
Tuesday, March 11: Sun Finally Breaks Through
Good news for those craving sunshine—Tuesday will bring a big improvement! Expect mostly sunny skies and a noticeable warm-up. Temperatures will jump to 73°F (23°C) in the afternoon, and the morning will start around 42°F (6°C). A light breeze will keep things feeling fresh, but overall, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic day to get outside.
Wednesday, March 12: Feels Like Spring!
This might be the best day of the week for outdoor plans. Highs will climb to a comfortable 77°F (25°C), with mild morning temperatures around 47°F (8°C). If you’ve been waiting for that perfect patio weather, this is it! Just be sure to apply sunscreen—the sun is getting stronger this time of year.
Thursday, March 13: Clouds Start Creeping In
The sunshine streak starts to fade a bit, with clouds rolling back in. It will still be warm, with highs around 74°F (23°C) and lows near 49°F (9°C), but the sky will have a more overcast look. No major rain chances yet, but the gray skies might make it feel a little cooler than expected. A light sweater might be a good idea if you’re heading out for the evening.
Friday, March 14: A Summer-Like Tease
Surprise! Friday will feel more like late April than mid-March, with temperatures soaring to 78°F (26°C). Even the morning will be warmer, starting at 56°F (13°C). It will be mostly cloudy, but don’t let that fool you—it’s still going to be warm! If you’ve been waiting for a reason to break out the short sleeves, this is your chance.
Saturday, March 15: Breezy with a Cool Down
The warm spell won’t last forever. Saturday brings a mix of sun and clouds, with gusty winds that will make it feel noticeably cooler. Highs will stay in the low 70s, and lows will dip back into the upper 40s. It’s still a nice day, but you’ll definitely feel the shift.
Sunday, March 16: Back to Reality
By Sunday, Charlotte settles into a more seasonable March pattern. Expect a high around 65°F (18°C) and a cool start in the mid-40s. Sunshine will return, but it will feel a lot more like early spring again.
