Live Radar: Strong storms pop off in parts of Central NC; More possible Tuesday

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert Forecast: A Heat Advisory is in effect until 8pm for Wake, Durham and Orange counites, and points south and southeast. Feels-like temps could reach up to 105. Additionally, a Level 1 risk for severe storms is in place for Central NC as strong storms with damaging winds are possible.

Relief from the heat could come in the form of storms. There's a Level 1 Risk for severe storms that could bring gusty winds strong enough to cause isolated tree damage. A Level 2 risk is in place for those along the NC/VA border.

Storm coverage remains hit-or-miss, but wherever they develop, expect frequent lightning, heavy downpours, and brief, gusty winds. Tuesday brings a similar setup with another Level 1 Risk, but temperatures ease just a touch.

Wednesday is the "coolest" day of the week - still low to mid 90s - with a chance for afternoon storms. Then the heat ramps right back up, flirting with 100 by Friday.

The weekend settles into the low to mid-90s with a daily chance for afternoon and evening storms.

Have a great day,
