More on that lets check in with meteorologist al conklin. Al it is cool but not all that cold.

Warm weather coming up from the south, area of low pressure with rain across the middle of the country. That is in no hurry to get here. The high will be a blocking high and so with that, warm conditions will be coming our way for the next several days, really for the foreseeable future, will break down enough that we will have rain chances but that is toward the end of our forecast cycle. Dry Conditions Mostly Clear skies in lincolnton, take a look here in charlotte, clear and it is chilly at 40 degrees, good visibility, light breeze out of the southeast and again, not too bad as far as humidity goes, may be a little bit of frost this morning.

If i had to say when they come in late saturday in saturday night ending early sunday but time will tell on that. So for today, 67, mostly sunny and decent amount of sunshine, not total sunshine, some cloud cover around the next several mid to upper 70s here tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, lows at night in the 50s.
