Scattered showers, storms could impact Fourth of July plans

That Air Quality Alert is for Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Union counties, as well as for the mountains.

Clouds have kept temperatures in the low to mid 70s to start out the work week, but clearing in our far western counties will allow an isolated strong to severe storm chance this evening

Highs Tuesday will reach near 90 degrees.

Storms will be possible this afternoon and evening as a cold front drops in from north to south through the area later today.

There’s another chance for some isolated storms on Tuesday afternoon.

Temperatures will briefly cool down today, but warmer conditions can be expected for most of the week ahead.
