Huntersville Weekend Forecast: When You Can Expect To See Rain

HUNTERSVILLE, NC — Thunderstorms are once again expected to roll into the Charlotte metro region this afternoon, bringing with them the potential of severe and damaging winds and possible hail, the National Weather Service warned in a hazardous weather bulletin Wednesday.

“Frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and brief heavy rain can be expected as well,” the forecast said.

There is a silver lining to the cloud cover, however. Temperatures are expected to stay below 90 degrees Wednesday, though will return to the mid 90s by Thursday. The chance of rain remains in the forecast Thursday, and again on Saturday.
