Why does Charlotte winter alternate between warm and rainy or cold and sunny?

Discussion

I’ve been here long enough to see this constant pattern to Charlotte winters. It’ll either be 42 and sunny or 60-70 and rainy, but rarely (if ever) cold and rainy or sunny and warm (except that random February day that always happens).

Does anyone have an explanation from a climate and weather perspective why this relation is fairly consistent?
