Back to the heat and storms… After a nice little break from the heat yesterday, it’s back to the 90s today. Temperatures will start in the 70s this morning and climb into the low 90s this afternoon. It will feel more the mid to upper 90s with higher humidity. Scattered showers and storms will fire up this afternoon and evening. Some storms could be strong to severe but the highest threat for severe storms will be in central VA and NC, along I-95.
Highs will remain in the upper 80s and low 90s for the second half of the week and through the weekend. Expect multiple chances for scattered showers/storms for the rest of the week with the highest chances near Friday.
