Warming Up, Drying Out
Heat index values will approach the triple digits for the next few days.
The stationary rainmaking system that has plagued the forecast for the better part of the past week is finally loosening its grip on the Carolinas and allowing for more sunshine and lower storm chances this weekend. While storms could still erupt during the afternoons and evenings ahead, they won’t be nearly as widespread as what we’ve been used to over the past couple of days. Of course, with the increased sunshine comes warmer temperatures, which could return to the mid-90s in the Piedmont as soon as the start of the workweek. Humidity levels will remain in the uncomfortable range as well, which could set us up for near-triple-digit heat index values for the near future. Further down the line comes an impressive rainmaking system, which should bump up storm chances by midweek.
