Hot, Humid Pattern Holds On

Pop-up showers and storms will come into play for the next several days.

It feels like summer outside! Temperatures will hang around 90º through the weekend for the Piedmont and Foothills, while the High Country will be closer to 80º. Tropical-like humidity will persist through the weekend as well, which could make some of our southern communities feel like the mid-90s during the afternoon. This increased heat and humidity will provide ample fuel for daytime showers and storms, especially for the western half of the WCCB Charlotte viewing area. While the severe threat remains low, some strong storms could pack gusty winds, locally torrential rainfall, and small hail. This summer-like pattern should persist until a cold front swings through our area to start off next week.

Friday Night: Storms early, then some clearing. Low: 70°. Wind: SW 5-10.
