Temperatures reached the high 90s in some areas and reached 100 degrees in Raleigh.
Storms will continue to move out of the area overnight and usher in cooler temperatures for Monday.
Looking Ahead
Monday and Tuesday look to be pleasant. Still warm, of course, but not unbearable.
That heat will ramp up again just in time for the 4th of July. Highs for the holiday will be near 100 degrees and humidity will also be elevated.
But the good news is the storm chances for the 4th of July are very low. Right now, it looks like the July 4th Fireworks Celebration at Dix Park will be hot but not wet.
