Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
***Heat Advisory until 7 PM Wednesday for the Peninsula, Southside, and eastern North Carolina. Afternoon heat index values will reach 100 to 105.
A very summer-like pattern for the rest of the week with heat, humidity, and several chances for storms, including a risk for severe storms.
Highs will climb to the mid 90s today with an afternoon heat index in the triple digits. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with showers and storms moving in late this afternoon to evening. Some storms could be strong to severe with damaging wind gusts and localized flooding. The biggest storm chance will be after 7 PM.
We will be stuck in a pattern of heat, humidity, and storm chances to end the week. Highs will linger in the upper 80s to low 90s and it will stay muggy. We will see a mix of clouds with scattered showers and storms Thursday and Friday. We have a risk for severe storms both days.
An approaching cold front will break us out of that pattern this weekend. Expect scattered showers and storms Saturday but clearing skies on Sunday. Highs will drop to the low and mid 80s and the humidity will start to come down.
