A few more storms today ahead of drier and hotter weather pattern
Expect high temperatures to be anywhere between the mid to upper 70s and lower 80s this afternoon. We will have a secondary cold front moving through today, which will trigger scattered showers and storms this afternoon and evening across the Charlotte metro. A storm or two may contain gusty winds and hail, however, the severe threat is very isolated today.
Storms will gradually clear out as we head into the late evening and overnight hours, allowing for clearing skies and temperatures to fall into the 50s. Keep your eyes on the sky later tonight; there is a chance the Carolinas could witness the Northern Lights due to a severe geomagnetic storm.
No promises, but there is a legit chance to see the aurora borealis tonight into early Monday. When viewing the northern lights, be sure to be away from any light pollution.
A nice weather pattern for the start of the work week is ahead. Seasonable temperatures to start the week, with high temperatures in the lower 80s and morning lows in the upper 50s.
By Wednesday of this week, temperatures will turn more summerlike, with highs rising into the mid to upper 80s. That hotter and more humid pattern will continue into next weekend, with increasing storm chances by Friday and into Saturday.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Humane Society asked to leave Hanover fair over papier mâché pig, human-sized cage
Winnipeg Humane Society staff say they're disappointed that the organization was asked to leave the Hanover Ag Fair in Grunthal, Man., on Saturday, after setting up an animal welfare display that featured a papier mâché pig and a human-sized cage at the on Saturday. The humane society said the display was intended to raise awareness around gestation crates or "sow stalls" — metal, cage-like enclosures that are about two metres long and half a metre wide. Krista Boryskavich, an animal advocacy lawyer with the Winnipeg Humane Society, says gestation crates are "barely larger than the animal itself," leaving little room for the animal to turn around. The human-sized crate staff brought to the fair was intended to simulate that experience and spark conversation, she said. "Pigs are very intelligent creatures, so this is a mental welfare issue, as well as a physical welfare issue," she said. The humane society was asked to leave the fair about three and a half hours after setting up. "We were promoting dialogue on some very important animal welfare issues and we're a little unsure as to why that was not acceptable," Boryskavich said. "The dialogue is important and should have been allowed to continue." The Hanover Ag Society, which runs the annual summer fair, said it gave vendor space to the humane society "under the assumption they would be promoting their pet adoption programs," in a statement posted to social media. Boryskavich said the organization's vendor application did not mention adoptions. The humane society has been bringing Charlotte the papier mâché pig and her cage to events across Manitoba for decades, Boryskavich said. As far as she's aware, this is the first time they've been asked to leave. Earlier this summer, Charlotte went to the Winnipeg Fringe Festival and the Manitoba Sunflower Festival in Altona, Man. She has a few more market events planned until the end of August. "We've had this crate in existence for decades now and the issue has not disappeared, these crates have not gone away," Boryskavich said. According to the National Farmed Animal Care Council, gestation crates were supposed to be phased out by July 1, 2024, in favour of group pens. That deadline has been pushed back to 2029. About half of Manitoba's pork producers still use gestation crates, Boryskavich said. She said the humane society brought the display to Hanover because it was a good opportunity to meet directly with producers. "We're not out to create controversy, but we do want to have that discussion and talk about ways that we can improve animal welfare in a meaningful way," Boryskavich said. "This is not an urban-rural divide on values or issues. I think that compassion and empathy exists no matter whether you live in Winnipeg or whether you live in rural Manitoba," she said. CBC News reached out to the Hanover Agricultural Fair but did not receive a response before publication.

Dry weather to continue across most of UK as heatwave comes to an end
Dry weather is set to continue for most of the UK following last week's heatwave. Parts of the country could see temperatures reach 27C on Monday and Tuesday. A northeasterly breeze means northern and eastern parts of the UK will be cooler on these days, reaching up to the low-20s. Some showers with the odd rumble of thunder could hit south-west England and south Wales on Monday and Tuesday, but most places will be dry throughout the week. Wetter, windier and more unsettled weather may move in from the Atlantic by Bank Holiday Monday. The continued dry spell comes after officials warned England was suffering from 'nationally significant' water shortfalls, despite rain in July. Sunday's highest temperature was 27.7C in Somerset, while West Sussex and Inverness, Scotland, also reached 27C. Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said: 'Where people get the sunshine it'll still feel fairly pleasant, it'll just be a bit chillier than it has been of late.' He added: 'We had a couple of cooler days, yesterday (and) the day before. 'The odd spot here and there might be just holding on to a heatwave, but I think most places have dipped below their criteria and may have sort of come up again. 'I would say (the heatwave) finished over the weekend.' Clouds are expected to arrive later in the week and the cooler air in the north and east will travel towards southern and western areas. Maximum temperatures will fall to 23C to 24C by Wednesday and Thursday. But the temperatures could push back up to the high-20s by the weekend, particularly during sunny spells, caused by the winds turning southerly. The national drought group, which includes the Met Office, regulators, government, water companies and other organisations, said on Tuesday that it had met as five areas of the country remained in drought, with six more in prolonged dry weather status. England is seeing widespread environmental and agricultural impacts from the lack of water, which is hitting crop yields, reducing feed for livestock, damaging wetlands and river wildlife, and increasing wildfires, the group said. Experts warn climate change is driving more extreme weather conditions in the UK, worsening drought and dry spells, and making heatwaves more frequent and severe.
