Discussion
We’re in the thick of a classic Carolina summer pattern as we head into the weekend — steamy mornings, hot afternoons, and scattered storms that flare up during peak heating. Each day brings scattered storms that will dissipate by sunset. These storms won’t be widespread, but where they hit, expect brief heavy rain, gusty winds, and localized flooding, especially with slow-moving downpours that can sit over the same spot for a while.
Temps are still running above normal, with highs in the low 90s and heat index values near 100. Mornings will stay warm and muggy in the low to mid 70s, and we could see some patchy fog near lakes and in mountain valleys early each day.
We’ll likely hold this pattern through at least Tuesday. A weak front may try to slide in by late Tuesday into Wednesday, which could bring a more organized round of storms just ahead of the 4th of July holiday. If that front makes it far enough south, we might get a slight drop in humidity and storm chances by Thursday.

Tropics Update:
A broad area of showers and storms in the western Caribbean is expected to move into the Bay of Campeche by Saturday night. There’s a small window for tropical development, but whether or not it develops, heavy rain and flooding is likely across Belize, Guatemala, and southeastern Mexico through early next week.
