Hot and humid day ahead with showers and storms possible.

Welcome to summer in North Carolina. The hottest weather in over a year is on the way, with heat and humidity peaking Thursday and Friday. Slightly cooler, less humid air arrives this weekend, but temperatures will remain hot. Near-record highs are possible.

Additional scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday which could result and localized Flash flooding.

The risk of heavy downpours and some localized Flash Flooding is back today for parts of the state. It is hot and humid! As we continue to have heating and a very saturated atmosphere, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop once again today. We know there will be a burst of heavy rainfall and even the potential for some flash flooding, but with this setup and our tools today, we can't pinpoint exactly where the Flash Flooding or heavy rainfall will occur. I've created a map in image...
