Saturday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. The severe weather criteria will be low but still present. The time to be weather aware is after 3 p.m. for the mountains and foothills and closer to 6 p.m. for the Charlotte metro.
Main threats are gusty winds 60+ mph and medium-sized hail. Watch for frequent lightning and heavy rain if you plan to be outdoors or attend any events. Make sure to check the storm policy before attending, too! Storm potential will taper off throughout the evening.
Sunday will be another mostly cloudy day with a few showers and storms early. There is a notable drying trend for the afternoon hours which our team will watch closely. Highs are expected to reach the mid 70s.
