Pinnacle of the heat today. . .

Highs will surge above the 90 degree mark for many in the region today, and record highs will be challenged. Some select record highs today:

Greensboro: 92
Charlotte: 94
Raleigh: 93
Wilmington: 94
Asheville: 85
GSP: 91

A disturbance will roll in from the west and give better shower and storm chances to the region tomorrow. A cold front then drops in from the north this weekend, giving us more shower and storm chances Saturday. Sunday's weather depends on how far south the front drops.

Today is the pinnacle of the heat with temperatures backing down as we head through the weekend.
