WRAL Weather Alert Day: Brutal heat index could exceed 110 degrees, storms bring flood risk

Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione here as we check in with our forecast through the rest of this weekend. What a very hot couple of days. Of course, that we've seen. You don't need me to tell you that it's been a kind of a scorcher for us past little while heading through the next five days. Here's kind of a look at what we're seeing as far as high temps are concerned. We should be at 91 for this time of the year. We are going to see the heat back off a little bit compared to where it has been. So in 89 there on Sunday may feel a whole lot better. We're gonna go 92 on Monday, 93 on Tuesday and then still low to mid nineties through the rest of the upcoming week. Rain, chances are also gonna be with us. We've seen some scattered storms to start our weekend and I think as we get into tonight, that potential is still going to be there. You can see futurecast, outlining some of that as we get through tonight, some of it may start to quiet down a bit and I think as we get to the early parts of our Sunday morning, we're looking pretty quiet. There could be a good deal of cloud cover around the area though. There's a look at early Sunday morning and then we go through the day, we'll call it partly to mostly cloudy and then, especially tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening, we're gonna watch a pretty decent chance of some scattered storms even, let's say closer to about 11 pm, midnight or so. Tomorrow, that may be a little more active. Feels like values though. Despite our actual air temperatures going down a little bit, it'll still feel like triple digits here for our Sunday. So keep that in mind if you have anything going on over the next seven days, we're looking at temps in the upper eighties, low nineties, many, many rain chances here every single day. And in a sense there, you can see scattered storms. None of these days is a total washout, but it's much needed rainfall. It's gonna kind of stack up here as we go day by day. So, pretty much every single day in our forecast has at least a chance of some scattered storms coming through.

Saturday, July 6, 2024 --  For Donald Trump and true believers, it hardly matters that the First Amendment was intended to protect religion from the state, not have the state impose a religion. Their goal is to impose Christianity. Those who do not share it will have to submit.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) â President Joe Biden, fighting to save his endangered reelection effort, used a highly anticipated TV interview to repeatedly reject taking an independent medical evaluation that would show voters he is up for serving another term in office while blaming his disastrous debate performance on a âbad episodeâ and saying there were âno indications of any serious condition."
