A Summer-like End to Spring!

Good morning!  It's going to be a hot Tuesday, and today happens to be the last day of spring!  Summer officially begins just after 7 PM on Wednesday... although it won't really feel any different between the two days.

It's all about the heat and humidity from here out (at least through the 7-day), as our Tuesday highs will rise into the mid 80s in the Mountains and near 90° in the Upstate.  You probably felt the mugginess outside on Monday... and humidity will creep up over the next few days as dewpoints rise.  An isolated shower or t-storm is possible this afternoon in Western North Carolina, while the Upstate will stay dry.

Tomorrow brings nearly the same forecast - isolated WNC shower or storm but dry across the Upstate - although highs will warm a degree or two.  We'll hit the upper 80s in the Mountains and the low 90s in the Upstate.  Dewpoints will rise a degree or two as well.

Temperatures and dewpoints will continue to rise through the end of the week - so you can expect a hot and humid Thursday, Friday and weekend.  The end of the week and weekend will bring small PM shower and t-storm chances... so there aren't any soaking rains in our 7-day forecast.  With that said, select areas could get some downpours if a storm moves overhead.

Try to stay cool, and enjoy the last few hours of spring!
