Scattered storms today...

A weak 'cold' front is approaching the region today. Out ahead of the front, it will be another fairly hot and very muggy day with highs in the mid 90s for most in the Piedmont. However, we will also have a good coverage of scattered afternoon and evening storms. A few storms could again be locally strong to severe.

That front will stall out in eastern NC into northern SC tomorrow, and slightly less muggy air will move into the mountains, foothills, and the Piedmont down to around the I-85 corridor. Further east, it will stay muggy, and scattered storms will again fire tomorrow.

Later this week, the upper level ridge will build back into the region again, meaning an increase in the heat and humidity levels again. Look for more mid to upper 90s by the second half of the week.
