The extreme heat will ease for a few days before it settles right back into central North Carolina by the end of the week.

After the storms on Monday night, a cold front sweeps through central North Carolina on Tuesday, bringing a few more showers and storms early in the day before a slight dip in temperatures and humidity the rest of the day. Slight is the keyword there, as highs will still manage to hit 90 degrees.
After our brief drop in temperatures when highs “only” hit 90 degrees both Tuesday and Wednesday, temperatures crank back up again, reaching the mid and upper-90s this weekend and next week.
Humidity will increase again, which will keep a daily chance for rain and storms in the forecast as we end June and begin July next week.
FORECAST
OVERNIGHT will be partly cloudy with a few lingering showers and storms. The low will be 73. Winds will be southwest 5 to 10 miles per hour.
