A heat dome that brought North Carolina's worst heat since 2012 is finally weakening, but severe storm risk is rising as conditions shift, with a flood advisory remaining active for Wilkes County through early Sunday evening. Locally, crews are crediting working smoke alarms after they helped North Wilkesboro residents escape a house fire safely. Today looks pleasant with mostly clear skies this morning giving way to overcast conditions and a high of 82°F, so it's a good day to catch the Wilkes County 250th anniversary parade or head out before any storms arrive.
