And dangerously hot temperatures<\/a> and more severe weather are likely on the way before the end of the weekend, National Weather Service meteorologists said.<\/p>\n

Outages were still being reported at 8 a.m. Saturday primarily off Shamrock Drive and other areas of east Charlotte, the Duke Energy outage map showed.<\/p>\n

Outages were down from 21,000 when storms swept through the Carolinas Friday afternoon, prompting severe thunderstorm warnings and pummeling the Charlotte area.<\/p>\n

A tornado warning was issued for Catawba County after radar indicated a possible tornado and pea-sized hail, according to the National Weather Service, although the warning expired without a twister being confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSevere storms moving across the Carolinas Friday evening brought down trees and caused widespread outages,\u201d Duke Energy officials said in a storm update on the company outage map. \u201cCrews are assessing damage and making repairs as conditions allow.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay away from power lines that have fallen or are sagging,\u201d officials said. \u201cThank you for your patience while crews work to restore power as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlotte Observer journalists found trees on homes in various areas of the city. Huntersville firefighters reported numerous trees down.<\/p>\n

In Davidson, emergency crews closed a stretch of North and South Main streets after power lines and large trees fell near the intersection of Concord Road.<\/p>\n

At 2 a.m. Saturday, repairs to utility poles and lines were completed, and Main Street was open, Davidson officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Charlotte has only a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday, but the heat index could rise to a dangerous 101, according to the NWS forecast.<\/p>\n

The heat index<\/a> is how the outdoors feel combining temperature and humidity.<\/p>\n

101 is in the \u201cextreme caution\u201d range for the \u201clikelihood of heat disorders with prolonged exposure and strenuous activity,\u201d according the NWS heat index.<\/p>\n

The heat index could reach 100 in Rock Hill,<\/a> forecasters said.<\/p>\n

After a forecast high of 92 under cloudy skies on Saturday, Charlotte has a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms late Sunday and early Monday and an 80% chance of heavy rain all day Monday, the forecast showed.<\/p>\n

The threat of storms falls to 40% on Tuesday, according to the NWS.<\/p>\n

Highs are forecast to fall to 89 on Sunday, 80 on Monday and 84 on Tuesday, before climbing to 90 on Wednesday under sunny skies, 94 on Thursday and 93 on Friday.<\/p>\n
