Wednesday through the weekend is a stretch of sunshine: 79 Wednesday, 84 Thursday, 88 Friday, and 90 by the weekend.For today's outfit: light layers are fine this morning, but carry something for the afternoon. A light jacket or a dry change of shirt is smart if you'll be outside.Get through today's storm window and Charlotte rewards you with one of the nicest weeks of the season.This episode includes AI-generated content.
