Here comes the heat...

Above is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video.

Showers and storms developed in portions of the region overnight, and heavy rain occurred in some spots. Especially hard hit was Randolph county where 4-6 inches of rain fell in the central and southern part of the county.

The heat begins to build today with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s around the region. A few showers and storms will likely fire off this afternoon and evening, and some of the storms could be severe. We will watch that closely.

Highs tomorrow will warm into the low to mid 90s with mid 90s again on Saturday. Both days will feature a good bit of sun and the chance of just a few isolated PM storms.

The heat will back down for next week with highs back in the 80s Monday through Thursday.

Some incredible video here from a storm chaser in Aurora, Nebraska yesterday. He was far too close to the tornado to remain safe, but the video is something.
