Wilkes County is bracing for severe thunderstorms Sunday with pea-sized hail and damaging winds up to 40 mph as a heat dome finally weakens after what's been North Carolina's worst heat since 2012. Today in Boomer will be hot and overcast with a high near 93°F before those storms arrive, so it's a good day to make sure your weather alerts are on and any outdoor plans are flexible. Air quality is moderate at 55 AQI, so it should be fine for most activities this morning and early afternoon.
