More heat ahead, dangerously hot by end of the week

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert-Dangerous Heat Later This Week: Another wave of dangerously hot temperatures is expected from Thursday into the weekend, with the hottest weather on Thursday and Friday. Feels-like temps of 100 to 105 are likely.

Good Tuesday morning! Today will be the most comfortable day of the week. Out-the-door temps are in the 50s and 60s. Highs will be in the mid/upper 80s. A stationary front will remain positioned just south of the Triangle today A weak disturbance to the west will keep skies mostly cloudy today. A stray shower or sprinkle will be possible.

The summer heat begins to build once again as strong high pressure builds across the eastern United States. Temperatures and humidity will steadily increase.

Highs will climb well into the 90s Wednesday through Saturday, with the hottest period currently expected Thursday through Saturday. Some locations may reach 100 on Friday if the ridge performs as advertised.

Expect feels-like temps of 100-105 on Thursday and Friday.

Typical summertime pattern of pulse-type spotty afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Coverage appears too limited to warrant concerns for widespread rainfall, but any storm that develops could produce brief heavy rain and gusty winds, given the hot and humid environment.

The Atlantic basin is quiet, and no tropical development is expected within the next 7 days.

Have a good day!
