If you’ve been craving a classic spring weekend in North Carolina, this is pretty close. After a breezy and downright toasty Saturday, the Easter weekend forecast is looking solid — though Mother Nature may throw in a few surprises by Sunday evening.
Let’s break it down.
Easter Sunday Starts Off Beautiful — But There’s a Catch
The first part of your Easter Sunday should be nearly perfect. We’re talking plenty of sunshine, warm temps in the mid to upper 80s, and just enough of a breeze to keep it feeling comfortable.
But — and there’s always a but with spring weather — folks in the mountains and foothills should keep an eye out later in the day. There’s a small chance of showers sneaking in during the evening, especially if you’re up toward Boone, Asheville, or anywhere west of the Triad.
It’s nothing major, but if you’re planning to wrap up the day with an outdoor dinner or a sunset walk, just keep that in mind.
Monday Keeps the Warmth… But Then It Gets Interesting
The good news? Monday stays warm and dry, with highs still hanging around the low 80s. But by Tuesday, we’re in for a change. The weather pattern looks like it’ll shift, bringing higher chances of rain and a few thunderstorms into the middle of the week.
Classic Carolina spring — warm and sunny one day, soggy the next.
What You Should Know:
-
Saturday: Warm, dry, and breezy. Highs around 85°F.
-
Easter Sunday: Gorgeous most of the day. Highs near 88°F, but slight chance of evening showers, mainly in western areas.
-
Monday: Warm and calm again.
-
Tuesday and beyond: Keep the umbrella handy — rain and storms are on the way.
So yes — you’ve got the green light for Easter cookouts, egg hunts, and porch sitting. Just maybe have a backup plan if you’re in western North Carolina, and don’t be shocked if the weather takes a turn next week. It’s spring, after all!
