For select nonprofit charities, it will be like Christmas, whether it comes in May, August, or December.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV)- The Mecklenburg County Commissioners fired County Manager Harry Jones during a meeting Tuesday night.

In an interview with WBTV, Jones says "I've used the word I'm at peace and I really am – I use the word relief."

Jones say he knew he was the cause of factions on the county commission board. He says he and his attorney were trying to negotiate a new deal with commissioners. But then Tuesday night happened.

"It really doesn't matter what is behind it" says Jones. "It could be a variety of things that are behind it. It really doesn't matter because I serve at pleasure of the board."

But Jones admits he "was a little blind sided by what happened on Tuesday."

At the meeting, the commissioners did not give a reason for Jones' sudden firing.

WBTV has learned the botched revaluation is one reason Jones lost his job.

Is he angry?

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV)- The sunshine is back, but only for a limited time!

For the third straight weekend, rain is in the forecast as an area of low pressure moves in from the west.

Friday will start off sunny, but clouds build in for the afternoon with a few showers possible in the evening.  The major moisture surge moves in Saturday, with showers and thunderstorms making a return along our next cold front. 

The rain should taper off early Sunday, followed by much cooler temperatures early next week.
