FORECAST:
- A Heat Advisory has been issued for the Charlotte metro and points south and east through Thursday evening.
- Heat index values may reach close to 105 degrees on Thursday as temps rebound back to the mid-90s.
- The only thing that could slow things down again would be some high clouds.
- The risk for an isolated storm is low with most of the area missing out.
- It will be the same story on Friday and the weekend as the 90s and high humidity hang on.
- Our streak of highs in the 90s will likely last through next week.
Another week with great strides in improving our drought! Today's update shows nearly all of our area either in Moderate Drought or Abnormally Dry conditions. Looking ahead, our rain chances look very hit or miss, so we likely won't see any big updates next week. pic.twitter.com/WiQoGot0CJ
