Heat Wave Hits Piedmont Triad | Winston–Salem News

North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad is still reeling from a brutal heat wave, with triple-digit temps hitting record highs — including 100°F for the first time in 14 years in Greensboro and Winston-Salem. While the worst may be behind us, upper 90s and oppressive heat index conditions linger, especially Sunday, with a growing chance of storms offering relief — but also posing severe weather risks. Health officials warn extreme heat can cause heat stroke, heart issues, and even kidney failure, urging everyone to stay hydrated and seek shade or AC. With potential thunderstorms Sunday and Monday, be ready: charge your phone, watch radar, and head indoors at the first sign of a severe storm warning. Stay safe, stay informed.
