Hit-or-miss showers & storms possible as we wrap up the week and kick off our Easter weekend! Best chance for rain in the forecast arrives on Easter Sunday... Keep the rain gear handy heading to those church services & Easter egg hunts!

First time since 2008 that #CLT & most of Mecklenburg County find itself in EXTREME #DROUGHT. In the past 17 months, there have only been 2 with above average rainfall. The last really wet month was September 2024 when Hurricane Helene doused the Carolinas. #scwx #ncwx #cltwx

OTD in 2019 I took these photos at my Parents house in Edgemoor SC. A narrow band of a slushy 1-2 inches of snow set up just south and east of Rock Hill SC. I measured 1 inch at this locale that day. @wxbrad @SCwxFrankStrait @AlConklin @kmondayWSOC9 @NWSGSP @Daniel_Bonds

🚨First Alert🚨 Rain and Storms could change your Easter Plans this weekend. A cold front will push through the area on Sunday and bring rain and even thunderstorm chances. #clt #cltwx #ncwx #scwx

First Alert: We've had #Easter circled for the better part of a week. It may start dry around #CLT, but rain & storms will push east & may be widespread during the PM hours before tapering down Sunday eve. Cooler 70s. #scwx #cltwx #ncwx

First Alert: Scattered showers & thunderstorms may pop up Saturday around #CLT with highs in the lower 80s. Easter still looks wet with showers & storms likely. Rain starts in the mountains at daybreak & quickly spreads east thru the day. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx

First Alert: Intervals of clouds & sun & pleasantly warm again around #CLT today with just an isolated PM thundershower, mainly up over the mountains. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx

First Alert: Lower 80s around #CLT thru Saturday with just a handful of showers & storms. Easter brings a much better chance for showers & storms along a cool front that will send our temps back down next week. 30s & 40s at night, 50s & 60s by day. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx

🚨 Launch of the Artemis II rocket seen from a passing commercial plane (via @radddd44)

Así será el viaje de la misión Artemis II. No vuelan en linea recta a la Luna, van al encuentro de ella. #ArtemisII @NASA @esa

It's a bird...It's a plane...It's the Artemis II crew on their way to the moon! #ArtemisII

Flood Advisory issued for Western Watauga County as 2-3" of rain have fallen & an additional inch of rain is possible. This will produce minor flooding in low-lying & poor drainage areas... Avoid water on the roadways! #wncwx

Thunder storm they said

Storms producing heavy rain, lightning, and hail continue to drift northeastward through our mountain & foothill communities... Move indoors if you hear thunder! #wncwx

🚨First Alert🚨 Rain and Storms Likely this weekend, Find out when you might need to change plans. The rest of the week looks to be warm with some small chances for showers and thunderstorms. #clt #cltwx #ncwx #scwx

First Alert: It's only Wednesday, so things could change, but right now the models suggest we might be dry at 7am in #CLT & points east on Sunday before showers move in. The mountains & foothills could be wet before sunrise. Forecast will be fine-tuned. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx

First Alert: Mainly dry & warm around the #CLT region Saturday before rain chances ramp up on Sunday. Easter may start dry & mild in CLT, but the afternoon will likely brings showers & possibly a few thunderstorms too. Cooler 70s. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx
