Monday’s high will be around 80 degrees, and lows Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be in the upper 60s.
In the mountains, cities like Boone could see temperatures drop into the upper 50s at night, forecasters say.
“A cold front will bring much needed relief from the heat starting Sunday,” the NWS says.
“This will allow below normal highs to return late this weekend into early next week, with Monday potentially seeing highs drop down to 5 to 10 degrees below normal. Highs appear to mostly range from the lower to mid 80s east of the mountains each day.”

The front also means a higher chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a 60% chance of rain Saturday afternoon through Sunday night in the Charlotte area, forecasters say.
“Unfortunately the break from the summer heat will be brief, as highs east of the mountains on Wednesday and Thursday will climb back into the low to mid 90s,” NWS forecasters say.
“By Thursday, we should see highs return to around 5 degrees above normal for mid-July.”
