RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — An intense heat wave will continue through the Fourth of July weekend. Highs will be around 100 degrees, with feels-like temperatures as high as 110 degrees. Daily record high temperatures may also be challenged or even broken.

The combination of intense sunshine and prolonged heat will create dangerous conditions for anyone spending extended periods outdoors. And as the temperatures soar outside, people across Central North Carolina do what they can to stay cool, especially when they have to head out. One homeowner who experienced a hours-long power outage in Durham said it was miserable without his air conditioning. Another said it feels like the heat has intensified in North Carolina.

“I grew up in North Carolina, but I don’t remember waves being quite this intense.”

To compound the misery, ABC11’s Forecast Team says there will be little overnight relief, with temperatures only falling into the mid-70s throughout the heat wave, and the air quality is deteriorating.

Basically, right now, Central NC is a hot, muggy, sweltering, poor-air-quality mess. And it’s expected to last into early next week.

With somewhat stagnant conditions, smoke from Saturday night’s July 4th fireworks could linger into Sunday, something to keep in mind, especially for those who are more sensitive to reduced air quality.

The record-breaking heat has led to organizers tweaking some July 4th plans for the safety of performers, staff, and attendees.

EASTERN CAROLINA, N.C. (WITN) – With the extremely hot and dry conditions we’re seeing across Eastern Carolina, three wildfires continue to burn.

The North Carolina Forest Service says the latest one is in the Cypress Creek area of Duplin County, where 200 acres have burned. That fire is 10% contained.

In Hyde County, there are two active wildfires, one that has consumed 662 acres and is 83% contained, and another that has burned five acres and is zero percent contained.

Both of those fires are near the Lake Mattamuskeet area.
