Heat sticks around; Weekend storms expected
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert-Dangerous Heat: Storm chances increase later this week. Thursday is a First Alert Day as a Level 1 of 5 severe storm risk exists across Central NC. Damaging winds and localized flooding are the main threats.
Wednesday is the pick of the week! Feels-like temperatures will not meet heat advisory criteria in most areas (except for Cumberland and Sampson counties). Mainly dry conditions are expected outside of a spotty storm. Highs will range from the low to mid 90s.
A cold front will move near the region and stall. This may lead to rounds of rain and thunderstorms between Thursday and Saturday. Locally, heavy rain and isolated gusty storms will be possible.
Afternoon high temperatures will dip below average for the weekend, topping out in the upper 80s.
Tropics: No tropical development is expected in the next 7 days.
Have a great night!
