The beginning of December brings a winter tease to Charlotte, with chilly weather arriving by Sunday. As post-Thanksgiving travel picks up, temperatures will drop to around 32°F at night, and by Monday, rain and snow showers may delay morning commutes.
This weather notice advises caution on the roads, particularly in western locations where cooler temperatures increase the chance of slick spots. The first heavy rainfall of the week falls Sunday afternoon, with temperatures remaining just above freezing, allowing the rain-to-snow transition later in the evening. Snow accumulation is not predicted to be significant, but travelers should be prepared for a cold front and wet roads through Monday.
By Tuesday, heavy rain may create isolated flooding, with a 90% chance of showers continuing throughout the day. Keep your coats and umbrellas available as this cold blast moves in.
