Tuesday through Thursday will remain hot with highs in the low 90s and overnight lows in the low 70s. Tuesday and Wednesday will remain mostly dry with just a slight chance for a passing storm north and west of Charlotte. A cold front will approach the region Thursday with a slightly better chance for storms during the afternoon and evening. Once the front clears the area Thursday night, Friday through Labor Day look beautiful with cooler temperatures and lower humidity.

*We continue to monitor the tropics with two areas of interest. The first is off the NC coast, towards Bermuda. This storm will brush the outer banks with some rain and breezy conditions through Tuesday night. The main threat with this storm will be rip currents. This storm will have no impact on the Charlotte area. The second area of interest is in the Gulf of Mexico. This will likely become a Tropical storm over the next day or two and will make landfall on the northwest side of Florida as it moves northeast. This storm will have no impact on Charlotte, but areas along the southeast coast will have some rain and breezy conditions late in the week. The worst of the storm will remain off of the coast. Rip currents will be the biggest concern.*
