A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for Burke and McDowell counties this Sunday evening, so keep an eye on conditions as today's forecast calls for a high of 91°F with light drizzle. There's plenty to do locally this weekend though, including the return of McDowell County's Pioneer Day for the first time since Hurricane Helene, plus the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games kicking off July 9-12 with Scottish heritage celebrations.
