The fog hanging over the city this morning isn't clearing quickly, and rain is already moving in with an 85% chance of precipitation through the day. Current temperature sits at 76°F, and that's where the high stays — don't expect a sunny break. New rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches, with thunderstorms likely mixed in through the afternoon and evening. Low-lying areas should watch for localised flooding.On the roads, patchy fog means uneven visibility — give yourself extra time and slow down. Wind is light from the southeast at around 5 mph, so that's not a factor today. The rain and fog together are the combination to respect. Leave early, take it easy, and accept the commute will take longer than usual.For what to wear: light layers since it's warm, but waterproof on top is non-negotiable today. Closed shoes you don't mind getting wet, and skip anything suede. Umbrella is not optional.Looking ahead, tonight brings continued storms before fog resettles around 9–10 PM, with a low near 63°F. Sunday mirrors today with highs near 81°F and another 83% storm chance. Memorial Day looks even wetter at 85% precipitation and a high near 83°F. The stormy pattern holds through next week, with highs climbing toward the mid-80s by Thursday.No active weather alerts are currently in effect, but widespread heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms don't need an official warning to disrupt your weekend. Stay weather-aware, move outdoor plans inside, and umbrella up, Charlotte.This episode includes AI-generated content.
