Partly cloudy skies and patchy fog will be possible overnight with Monday morning low temperatures ranging from around 70 degrees for Charlotte to around 60 degrees for Boone.

Monday and Tuesday will be steamy with high temperatures in the lower 90s and heat index values approaching the upper 90s. A stray storm is possible, yet most folks will stay dry, under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies.

Isolated to scattered storms are possible Wednesday through Friday with the best chance during the afternoon and evening hours.

Afternoon temperatures will remain in the lower 90s each day.

Next weekend looks to remain warm and muggy with high temperatures in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees, and isolated storms possible.

Hurricane Henri made landfall near Westerly, Rhode Island at 12:15 PM Sunday, with winds around 60 mph.

Along with damaging winds and a dangerous storm surge, flash flooding will continue to be the widespread concern, as Henri lingers over New England into early Tuesday morning.

Many places in New England will pick up 3″ to 6″ of rain, with 10″+ rainfall possible in isolated areas.
