Stormy Weather: Wet And Mild Week Ahead In Huntersville

HUNTERSVILLE, NC — Keep your umbrella close because this week will be soggy, with rain expected everyday through the weekend. The good news is all the wet weather will usher in significantly cooler temperatures throughout the region, according to the National Weather Service.

The drenched start to the week work in the Charlotte metro and Lake Norman regions Monday lay a blueprint for the rest of the week, according to the forecast. Scattered thunderstorms that could produce brief periods of heavy rainfall and gusty winds are expected all day July 30 throughout the region, the National Weather Service said in an advisory bulletin Monday.

Heavy rain continues Tuesday through at least Thursday, forecasters, said.
