Thursday, we will see the heat start to build. We will return to the 90s for highs across the area, but higher heat is on the way. Friday and into the weekend will see the temps climb back to the mid-90s.
Thankfully, there are spotty chances of showers or storms in the afternoon from Friday to Sunday.
Heat continues to build next week as a strong high-pressure system builds over Tennessee. That will send our temperatures in central NC near the triple digits.
The heat will likely continue through the Fourth of July. With small rain chances returning to the forecast by the holiday.
