There’s a cold front on the way, but not before intense heat makes a comeback.
Highs by Thursday will climb into the lower to mid-90s, with higher humidity making it feel like around 100 degrees. The cold front arrives on Friday, ushering in cooler but not cold air by any means.

The front will be a slow-mover. It will hang around the area through Sunday. This will help spark daily rain chances, especially on Saturday. Local college football games may have to dodge some scattered showers and storms from Friday into Saturday.
It turns drier on Monday into the next week. But highs remain in the upper 80s and lower 90s all across the 10-day.
The peak of hurricane season arrives Thursday. But you wouldn’t know it by looking at the tropics. The Atlantic basin remains unusually quiet, with no storms expected at least for the next 7 days.
North Carolina has seen multiple impactful tropical systems well after the historical peak. So it’s important to keep a close eye on things until hurricane season officially ends in November.
