FORECAST:

• We’re remaining dry with little to no rain.
• A very weak front may trigger an isolated shower or two in northern viewing areas into early Saturday evening.
• This will be no help to the current drought.
• Building heat next week reaching close to record highs Tuesday-Thursday (well into the 80s).
• Fire danger continues along with burn bans across the Carolinas.
• Charlotte is nearly 6.0″ below normal for rain since the beginning of the year. To put that number into perspective, we are down 1 ½ - 2 months worth of rain (roughly).
