Temps to shoot up before cold front moves back in

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

A spring preview is on the way for a few days in the Charlotte area.

Temperatures will shoot up Tuesday and Wednesday before a threat for severe weather hits, Severe Weather 9 Meteorologist Keith Monday.

Fog that developed Monday night has lingered into Tuesday as the warm air surges in.

Tuesday could see a high of 66 degrees, which is much higher than the average of 52 degrees.

The high temperature for Wednesday is even warmer, at 70 degrees.

A cold front will reach the mountains Wednesday afternoon with strong winds.  A high wind watch is in place and will likely be upgraded to warning.

Winds may gust near 50 mph in the mountains, leading to trees down and power outages. Wind speeds are expected to reach 30 mph in Charlotte.

Heavy rain may lead to minor flooding in poor drainage areas.
