  • One more hot and humid day before we get some much-needed relief across the Carolinas.
  • The high today was 93 with the heat index being closer to 100.
  • Severe thunderstorms are rolling through the area throughout the evening. Lots of rain and overnight localized flooding issues are likely.
  • On-and-off showers will be likely for the first half of the week. The latter half will depend on what happens in the tropics.
  • Temperatures will become more manageable for the start of the school week. Daytime highs Monday through Thursday will be in the low 80s.

Watching the tropics:

  • Franklin is projected to become a major hurricane by early tomorrow morning. The current storm cone has Franklin staying far east of the Carolinas.
  • The Bahamas will get heavy rain, but the states will be spared from Franklin’s impact.
  • Depression 10 is currently positioned in the Gulf, east of the Yucatan and west of Cuba.
  • Current projections have Depression 10 becoming a Tropical Storm later today.
  • If the system does become a storm, it will be known as Idalia.
  • Tropical Storm Idalia strengthening and looks like it could become a hurricane. A hurricane watch has been issued for the west coast of Florida.
  • Idalia is expected to make landfall by mid-week. If it follows the current projected path, the Carolinas will be getting remnants from the system later in the week.
