Latest Forecast

Intense heat continuing into the holiday weekend

The intense heat rolls right into Friday, which is shaping up to be another scorching day across the region. High temperatures will once again push into the upper 90s to near 100 degrees, and it will stay very warm well into the evening. A few isolated mountain storms could pop up late in the day, but most communities across the foothills and Piedmont should stay dry. The bigger story remains the dangerous heat and the toll it can take if you’re outside too long. We are likely to see daytime high records broken here in Charlotte which 99° set in 1931.
