A cold front will push through Friday evening, ushering in much cooler weather for the weekend and into next week.
The record high on Wednesday is 86, with a current forecast of 87. The record high on Thursday is 88, with a current forecast of 86. The record high on Friday is 86, with a current forecast of 86.
We’ve already seen more record highs in 2026 than in any year, with 21 so far. We have a good chance of adding to that this week.
Also on our radar is the heat during the first couple of days of the NC State Fair. The hottest day on record during the state fair was 88 degrees, back in 2016. We could make a run at that.
Warmth aside, we have a very dry period setting up with only our Friday rain chance for the next 10 days. Only isolated showers are expected. So some spots might not see rain at least through the final week of the month.
