TUESDAY: Very warm. Most neighborhoods are back in the low-90s. The key is that there is very little atmospheric moisture. It's a dry heat. This pattern is also short-lived. As the Tuesday evening wears on, southwestern winds slide that muggy Carolina air back towards the state.
WEDNESDAY: Early sun and the Southwest flow quickly get the temperatures to jump into the 90s. This, combined with higher humidity, brings the “summer stickies” back once again. It will feel more like 98- 100 degrees. Strong storms are possible later in the evening. A few could approach severe limits with damaging winds and hail. After the storms pass, the rest of the week looks pleasant.
