Severe thunderstorms are expected in the Wilkes County area today with pea-sized hail and wind gusts up to 40 mph as a heat dome weakens and brings a rising storm risk to North Carolina. After dangerously hot conditions—the state's worst since 2012—today will see highs near 90°F with rain showers, so stay weather-aware and have a way to receive emergency alerts. On a lighter note, Wilkes County is celebrating its 250th anniversary with a parade as the community marks the milestone.
