• Take frequent breaks in air-conditioned buildings or shaded areas.
• Never leave children or pets unattended in parked vehicles.

Storm Chances

Most of Davie County will remain dry through the holiday weekend. A few isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out today, and if one develops, the atmosphere will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts and hail. Widespread severe weather is not expected, but everyone should remain weather aware if spending time outdoors.

Looking Ahead

The prolonged heat wave begins to slowly ease early next week as the upper-level ridge weakens. High temperatures should settle back into the upper 90s before returning to the lower and middle 90s later next week, while afternoon and evening thunderstorm chances become a more regular part of the daily forecast.
