A weak cold front kept most temperatures in the 80s Monday, but that will be the coolest temperature we see for quite some time in central North Carolina. The warm up will start Tuesday as highs climb back into the lower 90s.<\/p>\n

Highs are expected to reach the mid-90s on Wednesday for the first day of July. Temperatures hit 100 starting Thursday and remain there each afternoon through next Monday\u2014bringing us five days in a row of dangerous heat. <\/p>\n

This could be the longest stretch of 100-degree days at RDU Airport since 2012, when there were six 100\u00b0 days in a row.<\/p>\n

The current record high for July 4 is 101\u00b0, which was set back in 2024.<\/p>\n

When you factor in the humidity, the heat index will surpass 105 degrees on those days, topping out as hot as 110\u00b0 Saturday. This could warrant an excessive heat warning from the National Weather Service, put into place when the heat index reaches 110 for two straight days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, the high pressure responsible for the intense heat will also keep rain chances away. So there won\u2019t be any showers and storms to help cool us off.\u00a0<\/p>

Highs return to the middle to upper 90s into the next week as the high starts to break down and scattered storm chances return after an extended hot and dry stretch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
