Extreme Heat Warning Hits Central NC | Fayetteville News

Central North Carolina is bracing for record-breaking heat as the National Weather Service upgrades alerts to extreme heat warnings for counties including Wake, Durham, and Orange — with temps hitting 101°F and feeling like 110°F due to humidity. The warning, in effect from noon to 8 p.m. Friday, covers 15 counties, while a heat advisory spans the rest of the state east of the mountains. Meteorologists predict the Fourth of July weekend could shatter records, with heat indexes nearing 110°F — hotter than last year’s 101°F in Raleigh. Stay hydrated and avoid the heat if you can.
