Weather Update: Steve Lyttle predicts a soggy New Year in Carolinas

United States: Steve Lyttle, former Charlotte Observer weather writer, shared the information on the weather in Carolinas, New Year was a soggy day, with rain falling much of the time. 

He took to their official social media account and highlighted in the statement, “Earlier this week, it looked as if New Years Eve would be a soggy day, with rain falling much of the time in Carolinas. As is often the case, as we got closer to the date, and the rainfall actually arrived, it was much more scattered and a lot less than first thought. That is the case on New Years Eve 2022.”

Showers, indeed, are part of the reality today, but they’re much more scattered and lighter than earlier thought. People have to deal with off-and-on rain this afternoon (and even a rumble of thunder, possibly), but the showers should be gone by early evening. If people are planning to go out for New Years Eve, they will probably be able to avoid the rain in Carolinas.

He further outlined, “ONE CAUTION, HOWEVER … There’s a good chance that dense fog will develop tonight. That could be a problem for anyone on the road in the early-morning hours Sunday. Please be cautious tonight!!!”

TODAY: Overcast, with a shower from time to time. A rumble of thunder is also possible. Mild, with a high around 60.
