As the heat dome weakens across North Carolina, severe thunderstorms are moving in with pea-sized hail and gusts up to 40 mph expected in Wilkes County on Sunday. Today should stay pleasant with a high near 81°F and mostly overcast skies, so it's a good day to enjoy outdoor events like Wilkes' 250th anniversary parade or the NASCAR races at North Wilkesboro Speedway before the storms arrive. Air quality remains good at AQI 43, so outdoor plans are still a go this afternoon and evening.
