Hotter today, Happy Monday, North Carolina! Mostly sunny and even warmer today with highs in the low-mid 90s outside of the mountains. Heat index values will also be higher in the upper 90s to low 100s, make sure you’re careful when working outside. Showers and thunderstorm coverage will be low today, only about 20-30% coverage with the best chance across the mountains and foothills but a few to the east as well. The thunderstorms will be the garden variety with gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and lightning.
