Top off your water jug and say yes to refills. These dew points are going nowhere, and temps are only going up these days!

Another morning with spotty, "garden variety" showers and downpours... The shower / storm chance will have migrated well inland this afternoon and evening.

Heat bulletins from the National Weather Service seem likely in this stretch. Be sure to keep up with them with your WECT Weather App, and take care of yourself, your people and your pets!

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the highlighted area. Please seek shelter in a sturdy structure until the storm passes and continue to stay alert with your WECT Weather App. RADAR: wect.com/weather #WECTwx #ILMwx

First Alert Weather Days continue Sunday and Monday for intense heat and a chance for strong storms (low chance Sunday, higher chance Monday). The heat index will be loathed to fall below 95 - even in the night!

A little cooler this Wednesday morning; some spots in the 60s on the mainland! Your First Alert Forecast called for this slight heat reprieve. Soak it in, because sizzling temps will make a big comeback this weekend!

Spotty showers and downpours will slowly shift from the coast this morning to north / inland this afternoon. With highs in the 80s to around 90, today will be the coolest day of the next several by far.

Good morning! 📍Ocean Isle Beach, #NCwx Gannon Medwick Lee Haywood James Spann Scotty Powell Jamie Arnold WMBF WeatherNation #StormHour Brad Panovich

Dialing up a scorcher of a weekend... A movie might be the right play!

Please look out for your crew! Heat exhaustion is the warning shot for heat stroke - which can have lasting consequences. The very young, the very old, those who have to work in the heat, and those with pre-existing health conditions are most vulnerable. Rest and hydrate!

Our in-house model is bullish on storm redevelopment this Tuesday afternoon, so keep your WECT Weather App handy! Storms will offer localized heat relief. Otherwise, expect only a marginal roll-back in heat through midweek. (More substantial cooling seems likely this weekend!)

Beyond any popup storms this Tuesday, a slow cold front will collect more storm chances in the next several days. There is some question to whether the front passes more cleanly than currently projected for this weekend; either case would result in much cooler temps!

Popup storms, some with a risk of cloud-to-ground lightning and torrential rain...
