Hot, Humid, Stormy Week Ahead
Dangerous heat and humidity could fuel strong pop-up storms Monday.
Sunday makes 10 straight days of 90º or hotter in the Queen City, and that streak shows no signs of stopping as we head into the workweek. In fact, the hottest day we’ve seen all year could come into play on Monday, as heat advisories blanket the eastern half of the viewing area. Charlotte, which is included in the advisory, could see heat index values over 105º, becoming even hotter to the south and east. With the increased heat and humidity also comes more fuel for pop-up storms Monday afternoon, some of which could be strong at times. Per usual, the main threats will be heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and small hail. Looking ahead, there is very little relief from the heat and humidity in sight, as the 90s look to continue into next weekend.
