FORECAST:

• It remains hot and humid across the Carolinas this afternoon, with temperatures in the lower 90s and heat index values near 100 degrees.
• Storm coverage is lower today, but a few isolated storms may still develop through the evening, bringing heavy downpours and gusty winds.
• Tuesday will be very similar before attention turns to Wednesday, when a weak front moves in and brings the best chance for stronger storms this week, with damaging wind the main concern.
• Latest model trends also suggest the front may stall nearby, keeping showers and storms around through Thursday and Friday instead of clearing out.
• That would bring a cooler end to the week, with highs dropping into the lower 80s, but also several days of unsettled weather.
