Heat Wave Ends, Storms Return

Tropical Storm Arthur’s departure means relief is on the way—North Carolina and southern Virginia brace for a major humidity drop by Saturday, though Friday will feel like a sauna with heat index values soaring into the mid-90s. The weekend brings much-needed dryness and sun, but don’t let the calm fool you: rain returns Monday as summer officially kicks off with scattered storms expected through Thursday. Extreme heat remains deadly—officials urge everyone to stay cool, check on vulnerable neighbors, and heed WBGT readings to avoid heat-related illness or worse.
