The heat will continue to rise this weekend in Charlotte.
Temperatures were in the low 90s on Saturday with a heat index value at 97 degrees. It will likely get even hotter on Sunday.
There is a small chance for a sprinkle or two closer to some of the far southern and southeastern counties today as the front moves south.

It will be slightly warmer Sunday with highs around 93 degrees with the heat index near 100 degrees. The humidity will stay low.
A few high clouds will return Monday for the eclipse, but viewing conditions still look good in Charlotte.
The next rain chance returns Wednesday as a front pushes through.
The front will bring very pleasant weather towards the end of next week highs drop to the upper 80s.
Tropical Storm Harvey is still moving west with no impact to the U.S.
The two other areas in the tropics don't look like they will develop into anything until maybe the middle of next week.
