Heat and Storms Hit Triangle | Durham News

Central North Carolina braced for a brutal summer double whammy: sweltering heat with heat indexes soaring between 101 and 105 degrees, paired with scattered afternoon thunderstorms rolling in between 4 and 10 PM. While tornadoes and hail weren’t expected, damaging winds were possible. Forecasters warned of localized storms—hit-or-miss downpours—and urged residents to take heat safety seriously, especially in Wake and Durham counties under “major” HeatRisk. The rest of the Triangle faced “moderate” risk. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and watch the forecast—this extreme weather combo is no joke.
