Afternoon storms will be isolated across central North Carolina both Thursday and Friday. Central North Carolina is outlined in a marginal risk for severe weather on both days, but storms are expected to be few and far between.
The heat will be intense. A Heat Advisory has been issued through 7 p.m. when the heat index could reach up to 106 degrees. Highs will be slightly lower this weekend.
Next week we will track a cold front, which could bring some relief for the 4th of July, but it will really just keep temperatures normal for this time of year, which is 90 degrees.
