CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Ahhhhhhh. After weeks on end of very warm and extremely humid weather, culminating with the passing of Tropical Storm Michael, we have finally had some cooler, drier air settle into the Carolinas. In fact, high temperatures today will likely wind up just a touch below the mid-October averages for many in the region.

• Mountain highs will only be in the 50s with piedmont highs in the upper 60s to around 70
• Look for more clouds on Sunday, with highs actually a tick cooler than today
• A fresh push of cooler and drier air will take over for Thursday and Friday

The mountains have clouds giving away to sunshine today and the rest of the region will have sunshine all through the day. Mountain highs will only be in the 50s with piedmont highs in the upper 60s to around 70. 

Look for more clouds on Sunday, with highs actually a tick cooler than today.

A cold front will slowly approach and move through the region early next work week. Some mountain showers are possible Monday with showers possible area-wide Tuesday.

Following that front, a fresh push of cooler and drier air will take over for Thursday and Friday.
