A flood advisory is in effect for Wilkes County until early Sunday evening as the heat dome weakens and severe storm risk rises across North Carolina today. Expect showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon with highs around 81°F, so plan indoor activities accordingly or stay weather-aware if you're heading outdoors. On the bright side, Wilkes is celebrating its 250th anniversary with a parade, and there's live music from Gladys Knight at the Schaefer Center if you're looking for evening entertainment.
