A developing Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) will be traveling from Ohio , southward toward the southern Appalachians this afternoon. This line of storms looks like it will have upper level support all the way into North Carolina and Tennessee by late afternoon, and then continue propogating south and bend southwestward toward into parts of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama tonight, while weakening. This type of flow has occurred numerous times this season, sometimes with severe results, so keep up to date with the forecast in case severe thunderstorm watches are issued later today.
After today, the heat will be building. I'm forecasting temperatures to get as high as 95 in Shelby on Thursday and Friday, and possibly into the upper 90's in central and eastern NC by that time. With the humidity, our heat index numbers may get close to 100 for a couple of days but afternoon chances of thunderstorms will still be around.
