Heating up....tropics are too...

Highs today will wind up in the mid 90s for many Piedmont spots, and then we will see upper 90s for most tomorrow. By Friday, many of our highs will be close to 100 degrees, and I still anticipate at least upper 90s for Saturday. So, heat is the big story again.

One minor bright spot is what at least today, afternoon humidity levels should be fairly low for most in the region.

The forecast is essentially a dry one until this weekend. Some afternoon storms are possible Saturday, and at this point, Sunday continues to look like a relatively unsettled day with good shower and storm chances.

Tropics...

See the video for some graphics on this, but the disturbance near western Cuba is looking pretty healthy this morning, and there are signs that a circulation is developing. This could very well get classified as a tropical depression later today.

This looks to eventually head toward the western Gulf coast, so all interests down that way need to monitor the system's progress.

A reminder....we have full tropical updates for you on News 14 Carolina at :21 and :51 past the hour.

Also, lots of good information for you on the Tropical Page portion of my site.
