Severe Thunderstorm Watch In Effect In Huntersville Forecast

HUNTERSVILLE, NC — A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for the Charlotte metro region until 10 p.m. Monday due to a line of severe thunderstorms with potentially damaging winds expected in the region, according to the National Weather Service.

The isolated scattered storms become possible Monday afternoon, bringing with them potentially damaging winds and large hail, NWS said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook bulletin June 25. Dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning and brief heavy rain could also be expected, it said.

The work week is off to a hot start, with Monday’s high expected to reach 92. Temperatures will cool off significantly by Tuesday, when the high is expected to stay around 84 degrees thanks to cloud cover that will also likely bring rain to the region.

Enjoy the reprieve while you can. By mid week, temperatures will be back to around d95 degrees.
