Hot and humid weather is on tap this weekend.
Strong high pressure building into the mid atlantic will produce hot and humid conditions over central north carolina this weekend. Afternoon highs on both Saturday and Sunday will climb into the mid and upper 90s, producing heat indexes in the 105 to 110 degree range. A heat advisory will likely be issued for both saturday and Sunday.
People planning outdoor activities this weekend should plan to limit their exposure to the sun in the middle of the day and avoid strenuous activity outdoors during the hottest period between noon and 600 pm. The elderly and young children are most vulnerable and should be monitored closely during this period of added heat stress. Adequate shade and drinking water should be factored into any outdoor plans for the weekend.
A cold front from the northern midwest is expected to push cooler and drier air into the region by Monday. This should put an end to this hot spell and bring more seasonable temperatures to central north carolina for next week.
