Showers will arrive mid-morning today (Monday), but the light rain totals won't alleviate the continued dryness plaguing Mecklenburg County. A low pressure system crossing the Great Lakes region will drag a cold front through the area this evening. Ahead of the boundary rain looks to dampen the ground between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with local gauges likely recording only a quarter-inch of liquid.
Temperatures will top out in the low 60s today under mostly cloudy skies. However, the overcast will break up enough to afford peeks of the sun by the dinner hour. The cold front itself will cross through near sunset, swapping today's southwesterly winds around out of the west.
Tuesday will then begin sunny with temperatures starting in the low 40s before climbing into the mid-60s tomorrow afternoon. By sunset (at 7:31 p.m.) clouds will overspread the skies ahead of an approaching upper level shortwave trough. More light rain will then occur Tuesday evening into early Wednesday morning, with liquid totals again not being impressive enough to break the drought.
Meanwhile, the waters of Bugg Island Lake / Kerr Reservoir are slowly warming, having reached the low 50s at this point in March:
