- Oppressive heat returning to Charlotte
Oppressive heat is returning to Charlotte due to a high-pressure ridge acting as a heat dome, leading to rising temperatures, reduced rainfall, and potential wildfire smoke. A code orange air quality alert is in effect for Mecklenburg County, with temperatures expected to reach the mid-90s and heat indices near 105 degrees by midweek.
