Southeast Heat Wave Peaks This Week | Fayetteville News

A brutal heat wave is hitting the Southeast, with temperatures soaring into the 90s and possibly flirting with 100 degrees by Wednesday and Thursday—making the heat index dangerously high. Central North Carolina, including Raleigh, can expect little relief as most rain stays coastal, but a frontal boundary moving in Friday through Saturday could bring much-needed showers and cooler air. While two tropical systems are brewing—one in the Gulf with potential for heavy rain, the other a weakening Dolly—the Carolinas aren’t in immediate danger. For now, focus on surviving the intense heat until Thursday, when a shift in winds and storms may finally break the stifling humidity.
