Cooling centers open in WS in response to near-record high temperatures
More unseasonably warm temperatures are in store for the Triad this week. Meteorologist Jonathan Blaes with the National Weather Service in Raleigh says temperatures will remain in the mid-90s for the next few days, and could potentially break records. “This is unusual," says Blaze. "The typical high in the Triad this time of year is mid-80s or so. So we're likely to be a good 10, maybe 15 degrees above those values. Anytime you get 10 degrees above or below where you're supposed to be, that is pretty significant.”
