The sun is now up over the #CLT area, & while there's no fog uptown, with these very cold temps in the 30s & 40s, bodies of water are giving off steam. Watch for pockets of fog around #LKN, Lake Wylie, Mountain Island Lake & along the Catawba River near I-40. #ncwx #scwx #cltwx

We'll stay dry around #CLT thru the start of the Halloween weekend before rain chances returns by Sunday afternoon. Much of the rain may come Sunday night, perhaps lingering into the Monday morning commute. #scwx #cltwx #ncwx

Monday was another picture perfect day in Valle Crucis, NC with a high today of 65 and a low of 35. We have had an incredible stretch of beautiful fall weather 👏 #ncwx If this is #ElNino, I’ll take it. Tho I know the effects of the subtropical jet are yet to come.

Our beautiful fall pattern in the Carolinas continues! We'll likely hold on to our dry conditions through Halloween before our next chance of rain moves in... Stay tuned for rain timing/amount updates towards the end of the 7-day as the week progresses!

Proud to see my brother Luke Kuechly honored today! One of the greatest teammates and competitors I’ve ever shared the field with and an even better person. Nobody more deserving of this recognition. Congrats, brother! #KeepPounding
