Afternoon heat index values will likely climb above 100° beginning Wednesday and continue through the Independence Day holiday weekend. While exact values will depend on afternoon humidity, conditions may approach Heat Advisory criteria by Thursday and Friday.

If you'll be outdoors this week:

• Stay well hydrated throughout the day.
• Take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas.
• Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the afternoon.
• Never leave children or pets unattended in parked vehicles.
• Check on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone without reliable air conditioning.

Rain Chances

Rain chances remain very limited across Davie County through the workweek. Most afternoon showers and thunderstorms should remain confined to the mountains, with only a very isolated chance of a storm reaching the western Piedmont.

Looking Ahead

The current weather pattern shows little sign of changing through the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Expect several consecutive days of dangerous heat with very limited rainfall. If you have outdoor holiday plans, be sure to take precautions to avoid heat-related illness and continue checking back for the latest forecast updates.
