Storms & Heat Wave Ahead | Raleigh News

Storms are brewing for Central North Carolina this weekend, with two waves expected — scattered storms Saturday afternoon, then widespread rain Sunday — all under a “slight risk” for severe weather in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Moisture from a developing system off Florida’s coast could bring much-needed relief to drought-stricken areas, including eight NC counties in exceptional drought. But before the rain, brace for a brutal heat wave: highs near 100°F with heat indexes over 100°F Saturday — stay cool and stay weather aware.
