FORECAST:
- Our Weather Alert continues with record-breaking heat in the forecast this Independence Day!
- Temperatures will be back near 100 degrees this afternoon and will feel closer to 105-108 with the humidity.
We've never hit 100 degrees on the 4th of July in Charlotte! Our record today is 99 set back in 1993 and 1955. We'll likely hit that century mark today, and will definitely feel well-above that! pic.twitter.com/E6ePhPcdvE

- A Heat Advisory is in place again for our entire area outside of the mountains until 8 p.m.
- There’s a low risk for an isolated storm this afternoon, mostly for the High Country.
- The better chance for a few pop up storms this weekend is tomorrow.
- The heat will still be dangerous Sunday with highs in the upper 90s feeling over 100 degrees.
- We’ll see those temperatures moderate and drop down into the low and mid 90s during the week ahead with better storm chances returning.
