Hot today....hotter this weekend....

Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video. Looks like the hottest weather so far this year is on the way....

It will be a pretty hot day today with lots of sunshine. Highs will top out in the low to mid 90s around the Piedmont. The chance of rain today in any one spot is very low.

A weakening cold front will approach tomorrow and bring the chance of some scattered PM storms. Highs will still at least be in the lower 90s tomorrow.

I will keep the chance of some afternoon storms in the forecast for Thursday and Friday with highs fairly close to 90.

It looks like the hottest weather so far this year will arrive for the weekend into early next week. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s Saturday through Monday, and humidity levels will be high.

Exactly how hot it will be is still a bit of a question mark, but just be prepared that it will be unpleasant for any outdoor plans over the weekend.
