Record-setting heat in Charlotte for Independence Day weekend

Charlotte is experiencing a record-setting heat wave during the Independence Day weekend, with temperatures reaching 100 degrees on Friday and 101 degrees on Saturday, breaking historical records. A Heat Advisory and Code Orange air quality alert are in effect, with high humidity pushing feels-like temperatures above 105 degrees. Isolated storms are possible through the weekend, but dangerous heat will persist into early next week before a heat dome breaks down.
