Meteorologist Kristy Steward's First Warning Forecast

Good Saturday night! It was much hotter today and only half of our area got to see rain provide a brief cool down. More heat and storms will be around the rest of this holiday weekend into next week.

Tonight, lows will be in the low to mid 70s and mostly dry. Sunday, temperatures rise into the low to mid 90s, feeling like 100-105°. Majority of the daytime hours stay decently dry. Scattered storms return Sunday night into earlier Monday morning. These storms could become strong to severe. Level 2 of 5 risk for severe storms across our Virginia communities and Level 1 of 5 risk across our North Carolina communities. Gusty winds and heavy downpours are the main concerns.
