Sunday and Monday are WRAL Weather Alert Days, with 'feels-like' temps of 107 degrees each day.

Dangerous heat: Temps could feel up to 107 degrees, WRAL Weather Alert Days issued for Sunday, Monday

Hi, this is meteorologist Brian Schrader. Let's talk about the heat and humidity. Today, we're calling for high temperatures generally in the upper nineties. So that's the air temperature. You add the humidity to it and it's gonna feel more like low 100. So it is going to be a nasty afternoon to be outside. We're under a moderate heat risk for today for most of the viewing area. And that means that if you're sensitive to heat, you really should stay inside. If you're going to be outside for extended periods of time, maybe doing some work, make sure you take plenty of breaks, stay hydrated. You will notice on that map that the Raleigh and Fayetteville areas are in that red color. That means major heat risk for today. Those are the urban heat island effects that you're seeing there. Now for tomorrow, we're going to see widespread major heat risk because the humidity is going to be up a little bit higher tomorrow. So it's gonna have a bigger impact. And that means any one who doesn't have effective cooling tomorrow or effective hydration, adequate hydration stands the risk of getting into trouble with heat related illnesses, that's gonna be the same for Monday as well. So best idea is if you can stay inside between noon and seven pm. Now, we know a lot of people are going to be heading out to the outlaw Music Festival at Coastal Credit Union Music Park Sunday afternoon from four till about 10 or 11 pm. See those temperatures at four o'clock in the mid nineties with a lot of humidity and it cools off very gradually. We are going to see a chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms though at times on Sunday. So that may cool things off a little bit if you're lucky enough to be under one, but it's not going to be a widespread kind of rain, taking a look at our seven day forecast. We've got that wro weather alert day in place for Monday as well. We have about a 50% chance of seeing some isolated showers and storms on Monday as a cold front approaches behind that front, a little cooler, but then it heats up again on Wednesday. Looks like we may see an end of this heat wave by the end of the week.

Saturday, June 22, 2024 -- Perhaps the only place in the nation where people are barred from talking of Donald Trump's crimes is the floor of what is often referred to as "the people's House." Republicans have gone so far as to erase one such mention from the U.S. House's official record. Disparaging President Biden and Democrats is routine.
