.DISCUSSION...
A slight cooling period will continue, with temperatures in the
Mountains expected to be in the low to mid 80s, and Piedmont
locations likely remaining in the 90s. This will mean heat index
values will peak in the low 90s across the mountains, and the low
upper 90s across the Piedmont. Each day the region looks to cool
by a few degrees, which will bring temperatures back to seasonal
values for this time of the year.
Increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms beginning
today and into next week may cause issues with lightning-
started fires; however, they will also bring much needed rainfall
to the region.
