A severe thunderstorm threat is building for Sunday in Wilkes County with pea-sized hail and gusts up to 40 mph expected as a heat dome weakens across North Carolina. Today in McGrady will be warm and humid reaching 88°F with light drizzle, so keep an eye on forecasts as conditions deteriorate tomorrow. Meanwhile, the community is celebrating Wilkes County's 250th anniversary with a parade, and working smoke alarms continue proving their worth—they helped residents escape safely from a house fire in nearby North Wilkesboro.
