FORECAST:

• More heat and humidity this weekend with temperatures in the mid-90s feeling more like 100-105.
• We have a Heat Advisory in place for areas east of Charlotte until 8 pm today, which is where we’re most likely to see those heat index values hitting the 105-degree mark.
• In addition to the heat, we’ll also see some hit or miss storms in the afternoon and evening both days.
• Not everyone sees storms, but those that do form could be strong to severe with heavy rain and damaging winds.
• The forecast will continue to call for isolated storm chances through the first half of next week before a cold front clears things out by Thursday.
• Temperatures will also break out of the 90s behind that front.
