Wednesday early afternoon...

Heat is cranking in the Charlotte News 14 viewing area. Some spots already in the low 90s. Looks like mid 90s for most with heat index values approaching or exceeding 100 this afternoon.

Up in Raleigh, some showers and storms have developed early this afternoon. Looks like those were sparked by the outflow from overnight showers and storms over the Ohio Valley. Some of those storms could contain some small hail or gusty winds as well as heavy rainfall where they do develop this afternoon.

Interesting feature northeast of the Bahamas this afternoon. More on that later...

I am still in the middle of my live block...lots going on today, so I will not be able to post until a little later this afternoon. Check back later for the full afternoon discussion and post.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I really appreciate that people enjoy seeing what I have to say. Thanks a lot!
