Huntersville Weekend Weather: Soggy Days Ahead

HUNTERSVILLE, NC -- At least there’s no snow. It’s hard to believe that this time last week, the Charlotte-area was still thawing out from a winter storm that dumped up to 6 inches of snow in the region. And while this past week has largely been mild and sunny, that’s about to change this weekend, when rain moves into the forecast.

Skies will remain clear until Saturday afternoon, when a 20 percent chance of rain creeps into the picture just after lunchtime. Rain becomes more likely Saturday night, and inevitable by Sunday.

While conditions will be wet, the temperatures will stay mild. Highs will stay in the mid- to high 50s, with overnight lows in the high 30s and low 40s.
