BULLETIN
A heat dome that brought North Carolina's worst heat since 2012 is finally weakening today, but that's bringing a tradeoff—severe storm risk is rising as the system moves out. Expect a hot day with a high near 99°F and rain showers likely, plus moderate air quality concerns. Lake Norman's Ramsey Creek Beach remains closed this holiday weekend, and a Dollar Tree fire in Gaston County has shut down a busy road in the area.
