Elevated North Carolina fire danger continues Wednesday

We kick off April with warm sunshine and well above average temperatures. Warm winds will push afternoon temperatures into the low-to-mid 80s Wednesday afternoon. Storms are expected to fire up in the late day heat. Storms will first develop in the mountains and foothills in the afternoon and then track east into the Piedmont. Storms will become more isolated on Thursday and Friday. Rain chances will increase Easter Sunday along a late day cold front. WXII12 is your home for North Carolina breaking news and weather.
