Around these here parts leastways ...
Summer fans ... you've got two days left to enjoy the heat.
Autumn fans ... get the sweaters ready. Your turn is coming soon.
Carolinas weather will switch gears rather abruptly Friday, moving from summer-like heat to an autumn chilldown for the weekend. The changeover day will come Friday, accompanied by a chance of showers.
Today and Thursday will be warm enough to challenge record high temperatures for the dates. Forecasters are predicting highs today and Thursday near 86 degrees, and that's within striking distance of the records -- 88 degrees today (set in 1985) and 87 Thursday (set in 1925).
Tuesday's high at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport was 82 degrees, and it dropped to an unofficial low of 49 this morning. But the warmup today will be quick.
A cold front is expected to cross the area Friday, bringing clouds and a 50 percent chance of showers. No thunderstorms are expected, and highs will only reach the lower 70s.
By Saturday, we're expected to get a full taste of autumn. Forecasters expect the cold front's clouds to move east of the area in the morning. Under partly sunny skies Saturday, we'll have highs only in the lower to middle 60s. Temperatures on Sunday morning might fall to near 40 degrees, with highs around 70.
