Hot, muggy, sticky: Some storms for Fourth of July forecast
The 90s will be the norm this week, according to WRAL meteorologist Aimee Wilmoth, as the Triangle gets ready for a muggy Fourth of July.
Posted — UpdatedAccording to Wilmoth, Monday will be especially hot, with a high in the upper 90s and heat indexes close to 105 degrees.
"Factoring humidity, it could feel like 105 degrees or more," said Wilmoth.
Tuesday will also be hot, with a high in the mid 90s. According to Wilmoth, there will be a better chance for scattered storms on Wednesday for the Fourth of July, but the threat isn't great enough to ruin evening plans outdoors.
"There is the potential for storms on Wednesday -- about 30 or 40 percent," said Wilmoth. "So, if you're headed out for the Fourth of July, grab the umbrella, take it with you just to be on the safe side."
The good news, according to Wimoth, is that the temperatures will be a little less steamy on Wednesday, with temperatures expected in the upper 80s to low 90s for holiday festivities.
