Tonight stays mostly clear and muggy, with overnight lows settling back into the low 70s. Thursday temperatures will climb into the mid-90s. It’s going to feel even warmer once you factor in the humidity, with heat index values pushing to around 100 degrees or even a little higher.
Tonight, we get a little break from the heat, but it’s still going to be warm and muggy out there. Skies will be partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping into the low to mid-70s. So while it won’t be quite as hot, the humidity is definitely sticking around.
Tonight, we’re keeping things fairly quiet across the Metro with partly cloudy skies and temperatures only dropping into the mid-70s. Most of the showers and thunderstorms will stay well north of the Charlotte area, mainly across the High Country and Foothills. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for those areas through 10 p.m., so if you’re traveling north tonight, definitely keep an eye on the latest alerts. For everyone else, it’s another warm and muggy night before we turn our attention to what’s ahead.
Saturday's temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 90s but with the humidity factored in, it will feel like it's above 100°. A few thunderstorms could bubble up Saturday afternoon but they won't bring widespread rain.
*Heat Advisory will expire at 8pm and then be reissued for tomorrow starting at noon*

Tropical Storm Cristobal formed Wednesday, but this storm is no threat to the U.S. or any other land areas. As of late Wednesday afternoon, Cristobal was located about 880 miles west of the Azores with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. The storm is moving east at about 25 mph and is expected to turn more east-northeast while gradually slowing down.
Tonight we will keep scattered storms in play through the evening. A few storms could bring brief heavy rain, gusty winds and frequent lightning. Some showers or storms may hang around into the pre-dawn hours Wednesday before things quiet down.
By Tuesday, we’re right back into the summer heat. Afternoon temperatures will climb into the mid 90s, and with all that humidity in place, it could feel closer to 100 to 104 degrees during the hottest part of the day. Most of the day should stay dry, so you’ll likely get through the morning and early afternoon without much trouble.
