Weekly Overview July 17-27

This weekly overview is late so I have decided to combine it with next week's. A heat wave will grip the majority of the Carolinas until Sunday. The temperatures will be in the 90s in the piedmont with heat indexes soaring into the 100s. Sunday through Wednesday the temperatures will be in the upper 80s but the heat will return late week with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s with heat indexes once again reaching the 100s. There will be the chance for afternoon thunderstorms throughout almost the entire week(s). The mountains will be cooler staying in the lower 80s until the weekend when it will cool off to the mid to upper 70s. It will stay like this throughout the remainder of the week(s). There is the chance for afternoon thunderstorms for about the first 2/3 of the week(s), then the weather should be dry. The beach should have temperatures in the upper 80s for most of the week(s) but the last few days should be in the mid to upper 90s with heat indexes in the 100s. There is the chance for afternoon thunderstorms mid-to-late week(s).
