Enjoy the break from the intense humidity. I fully expect heat alerts in our area this weekend 🌡️
It's been one of the most humid summers on record so far in parts of our area wral.com/story/ask-the-…
Houston, we have a problem...your weather has been here for the last month.

🍂 @ExploreFall has issued its first foliage outlook for 2025! ⬇️ wral.com/autumn-in-two-…
The intense heat breaks a bit before returning soon. We’re showing how far humidity levels dip and when more heat alerts may be needed.
#ChapelHill has now seen more than 16" of rain this month. July 2025 is the second-wettest MONTH on record for the town.

There have been a number of reports of lightning damage/fires in our area this month. BUT is this amount of lightning abnormal? wral.com/story/ask-the-…
A break! It won't be a HUGE drop in humidity, but it's better than nothing. This is a look at Tuesday evening - Wednesday morning.

High heat again today with scattered late day storms. A brief break coming: wral.com/story/weather-…

Per @SERCC Chapel Hill is now up to 15.89" of rain this month. July 2025 is the second-wettest month on record for the town. Let's not go challenging September 1999, please.

Our Level 1 risk of severe weather has been trimmed back a little bit. Isolated late day/evening storms possible, but chances are lower than they were yesterday.

Another day of intense heat, BUT there's some relief on the horizon #ncwx


This is a look at every single flash flood warning issued in the Continental U.S. so far this year. A record number of more than 3,160 (data like this has been kept for nearly 40 years).

Happy Sunday. More intense heat but fewer storms today. Increasing chances Monday. Tracking lower humidity here: wral.com/story/weather-…
Pros and Cons to Monday's front. It does bring the chance for strong storms/flooding late afternoon into the evening. HOWEVER, we get a needed (but brief) break in the intense heat and humidity.


A break in the humidity?! Not a huge one, but it's better than nothing at this point.
