Hot Weekend

Fall officially started on Sunday, but it felt more like the middle of summer than the first day of autumn. The high of 92 at RDU was just two degrees away from the record for the date. The low to mid 90s were common Sunday afternoon in many spots --

• Erwin: 97
• Chapel Hill: 94
• Fayetteville: 94
• Laurinburg-Maxton: 94
• Lumberton: 94
• Goldsboro: 93
• Rocky Mount-Wilson: 93
• Southern Pines: 93
• Henderson-Oxford: 91

While it won't be quite as hot today, it will certainly come close with highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Afternoon temperatures should finally return to closer to normal levels this coming weekend.
