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

Dangerous heat: Another hot day on tap Sunday as WRAL Weather Alert Days issued for Sunday, Monday

Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione here. I hope you had a great start to the weekend. Of course, it was a hot one for us across the area. And that's gonna really be our common trend if you will into the next couple of days. I don't see a big break from that humidity and the heat really until we get into later on this upcoming week tonight though. Check out temps. We're still close to 80. Hard to believe there in Raleigh and Durham 76. Waking up on your Sunday morning, 74 for Clarksville, 75 Roanoke Rapids. All of us looking fine out the door for church services are just as you start your morning. A little to mid seventies there for Irwin Fayetteville Southern Pines. No rainfall expected for us tonight, although we could use some check out where we're headed. So a couple of changes to talk about here for our Sunday, it looks like we're still gonna be hot across the board. There's no doubt about it, but it looks like we may remain just below heat advisory criteria of feels like values of 105. I have a feeling like 101, it is still gonna be hot. It's still gonna be dangerous across the area if you don't take the heat seriously, but it doesn't look like it's gonna get quite to the criteria at this point that would warrant a heat advisory and a little bit of a helping factor for us. There will be a slight breeze tomorrow. 10 to 15 mile per hour winds, not much of a gust but still a 10 to 15 mile per hour wind on a 9697 degree day may help us feel a little bit better if you're out. And about. There's a look at where we had 96 by about four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. We may see the chance for a few spotty storms tomorrow into the evening. I do think that potential is certainly there. So after about four o'clock and often on showers and storms are possible if we're lucky to help cool us off tomorrow, not going to be a lot of coverage though. We check out the tropics. We do have one area still in the southwester Gulf of Mexico. That one's gonna move into Mexico with no threat here to the United States. At this point. We go to 96 there tomorrow 95 on Monday, 94 Tuesday, Wednesday is gonna be downright hot as well, feeling like 105 and then we may feel a little bit better. Humidity wise on Tuesday and then again into Friday, you notice temperatures are still in the nineties, there's not a huge drop, but I think as far as what it feels like Tuesday, the late next week may feel a little bit better.
