FORECAST:
- More high heat and humidity to deal with today as temps soar to the upper 90s and the heat index reaches above 100 degrees.
- Another Code Orange Air Quality Alert is in place across the Charlotte metro area.
- This is due to low level ozone production and mainly affects those who have respiratory issues.
- We may also see more haze from Canadian wildfire smoke today, but most of that should remain elevated in the atmosphere.
- Storm chances remain isolated at best today but do creep up more by the weekend.
- This should help to cut down the heat a touch to the low to mid 90s (still feels near 100 with the heat index though.)
- These downpours won’t washout the weekend, but may be on the strong side with strong damaging winds.
