FORECAST:
- It feels much warmer out the door this morning than yesterday, and it will likely be the warmest morning in Charlotte we’ve had in days.
- Sunshine is expected to heat us right back up to the mid-90s today, and the heat index values will be at or above 100 degrees.
- Another code orange has been issued for the air quality as well.
- There are a few storm chances to try and fire up later this afternoon and evening, but these will be very isolated.
- Better storm chances grow as we head to the end of the weekend. Right now, Sunday afternoon is looking to be our best chance to get wet.
- Temperatures are expected to fall back to the lower 90s starting tomorrow and then the 80s by Labor Day, but it remains very humid all weekend.
- Rain chances dry up into next week as temps cool down further.
A code orange air quality alert is in place for Cabarrus and Meck counties today. Ozone levels build up with the heat of the day. Folks may want to limit time outside and get strenuous activities done early. This mainly impacts people with respiratory issues, the older and young. pic.twitter.com/ZHj2vwvY5R
