Heat, Humidity Here for Long Haul
Pop-up showers and storms during the afternoons will be the only relief from sweltering temperatures for the week ahead.
Charlotte topped out in the 90s for the first time in over a week on Sunday, and there’s only more heat in store for us as we head into the second week of August. It may feel like summer is making up for lost time this week, as highs continue to soar into the 80s and 90s for the foreseeable future. With no cold front or dominant rainmaking system in sight, pop-up showers and storms will be the only reprieve from the oppressive heat and humidity for the time being.
Looking eastward into the tropics, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching two areas of storms for development. While it’s still nowhere near certain that either system even whiffs tropical storm strength, they’re still worth watching as they sweep westward into the northern Caribbean Sea.
