Gail Hartfield, National Weather Service meteorologist, on dangerous heat, a heat advisory and an increased fire risk for the Triangle
from WPTF Morning News
National Weather Service meteorologist Gail Hartfield joins Tony to discuss a heat advisory in effect with temperatures expected to reach near 100 degrees and heat index values up to 108. Hartfield explains how the remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur combined with a cold front could bring isolated damaging winds south of the Triangle overnight, why high winds and heat are raising the risk of wildfires today, and why the exceptional drought gripping the region will need much more than a passing shower to improve.
