Friday, Jan. 6, will see sunny skies across the Charlotte metro area with cooler temperatures as we head into the first weekend of the new year. WCNC Charlotte forecaster Larry Sprinkle says the Carolinas will see afternoon highs in the mid-50s with plenty of bright sunshine.

Saturday morning will be chilly with temperatures near-freezing in North Carolina and South Carolina. Afternoon highs will again climb into the mid-50s with light wind across the Charlotte area. Saturday night will see more clouds move into the area with a chance of rain on Sunday.

The rain chances on Sunday are primarily in the evening. Morning temperatures will be in the upper 30s — a bit warmer than Saturday — but highs will only reach the mid-50s. Any rain we do see won’t last as dry, warm air moves into the Carolinas on Monday. #WakeUpCLT #Weather #Forecast

The City of Charlotte North Carolina

Charlotte is a city in North Carolina and is located east of the Catawba River. The city is located in the Piedmont region, extending from Virginia to Georgia. It is home to a number of attractions.

Some of the major employers in Charlotte include Bank of America, Lowe’s, and American Airlines. Duke Energy, Fluor, AREVA, and Siemens Energy are also based in the area.

Although it’s one of the biggest cities in North Carolina, it has a small town feel. A lot of the people in the city are Christians and are predominantly Protestant. There are also many Southern Baptists.

The average income in Charlotte is higher than the national average, making it a desirable place to live. Charlotte is a popular city for families. People who have a college degree from the Carolinas tend to migrate here.

There are many festivals in the city. The Latin American Festival is a one day event, and the Festival in the Park features live music and food. Another festival is the New Music Festival, which offers lectures and concerts.

The Charlotte Chamber of Commerce has recruited more than 56,338 new companies in the last ten years. One of the most successful is Lowe’s, which has a headquarters in Charlotte. Other companies in the area include Bank of America, Nucor, and AREVA.

The city is located close to the Catawba River and Lake Norman. The mountains are also nearby. This makes Charlotte a great place to live, if you want to be near nature.
