RALEIGH, N.C. ? Triple-digit heat is heading to North Carolina, and parts of the state may experience 100-degree temperatures for five days.
The National Weather Service says the high temperatures will move in Friday and could stay through Tuesday. The heat is the result of high pressure moving in from the Central Plains.
Most people can retreat to the air-conditioned indoors, but not everyone has that option. The Durham Rescue Mission is opening its doors not only to the homeless but also to people who don?t have air-conditioning.
The N.C. Medical Society is watching the heat because part of its air-conditioning system is being replaced this weekend. Their workers will go home, but the contractor could still pull the plug on the project if it?s unsafe for employees to be outside.
Latest FOX8 Forecast:
Tomorrow starts the early season heat wave that everyone has been talking about for the past week. Temperatures will reach record breaking status, going up to the low 100s. Yes folks, we are already talking triple digits and it is not even the 4th of July yet. Don?t expect any cooling by the means of clouds tomorrow either.
We also need to watch the air quality tomorrow. An air quality alert has been issued for the Triad tomorrow, with a code orange alert. This means that people with respiratory issues should limit their time outdoors if possible.
The unbearable heat will stick around for the rest of your weekend, with highs staying in the triple digits on Saturday and Sunday. The dew points will climb into the upper 60s as well, combining with our high temperatures to give us heat indices going up to around 105 ? 107. Skies will become partly cloudy on Sunday to lower our temperatures a couple degrees, but not enough to give us any relief.
Some relief could come into the area by Tuesday, dropping our highs back down to the mid to lower 90s for the rest of the week. Watch for a possibility of scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the week with partly cloudy skies.
