CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A complex set up over the next few days will lead to periods of rain and gloomy skies.

No severe weather is forecast; just rain.

A cold front will push through the area late Friday night.  Once the boundary is east, we start clearing out.

Cold air will arrive and hold court for a good stretch of days. As of this post, we may not see daytime highs above the lower 50s for a week or so.  A hard freeze is expected Saturday night.
