It doesn’t look like there’s going to be any change in the weather for a least a week, which means more heat and humidity, a daily chance of showers and thunderstorms and typical conditions for summer in North Carolina.
Today and Saturday, the air quality improves a bit to code yellow, which is moderate. Some sensitive people may be affected, especially if the index approaches the orange zone. Again, the UV index will be very high, so be sure to protect yourself and your children from the sun.
Today the 30 percent chance of storms will be mainly after 2 p.m. Clouds will increase during the day with a high near 89. Tonight, there’s a 40 percent chance of showers and storms throughout the night and into the early hours of Saturday, with a low around 69.
