 It's the third straight day of extreme heat in the area. Make sure you are taking care of yourself, staying hydrated before, during, and after this heat wave. Showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, they'll be isolated. Consider yourself lucky if you get that little bit of a cool down. Overnight, we're in the upper 70s for lows, mostly calm. Wednesday, high temperatures mid-90s with a heat index of 100 to 105, storms becoming more likely. For the North Carolina News Network, I'm meteorologist Chris Michaels in the Weather Center.
