Building heat and humidity starts to rise Friday

Friday is shaping up to be another classic summer day. We'll start the morning warm and humid before temperatures climb into the mid-90s by the afternoon. As the heat builds, the atmosphere will become unstable enough for a few scattered thunderstorms to pop up late afternoon. Many neighborhoods will stay dry, but if one develops over your area, expect a quick burst of heavy rain, frequent lightning, gusty winds, and plenty of thunder before it moves out. Like most summertime storms, these won't last very long and should fade away shortly after sunset.

Strongest solar radiation storm in 20 Years hits Earth; aurora borealis possible in NC tonight

The largest solar radiation storm in more than 20 years hits Earth, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. This will be the second-strongest level issued by NOAA for geomagnetic storms. The concern tonight is a severe geomagnetic storm of this magnitude can potentially affect the Earth’s power grids, satellites, and aircraft data.
