FORECAST:

• We hit 101 degrees in Charlotte on Friday, breaking a record set back in 1954.
• Some scattered storms rolled in Friday evening.
• We are also looking at numerous rain chances over the next six to 10 days. Pretty much every day, we will have a chance for storms and slow-moving showers. With so much humidity in place, these showers and storms will be efficient rainmakers.
• This won’t be a washout by any means, but we need all the rain we can get.
• Storms Friday and Saturday will not beat the heat as we’ll be in the mid-90s both days.
