I see Raleigh is number one with six days reaching 100 degrees. Fayetteville is number two with five days of triple digit heat. Those numbers may get bigger next weekend with another impending heat wave on the way. With the rest of July, August and September to go, Raliegh might break the record of twelve 100 days for a year in 2026.

Pretty crazy how lopsided this heat wave is

Not sure what the record is for consecutive 100 degrees days at Wilmington but I wouldn't imagine it's many being so close to the coast. Going for number 3 today.

The ILM Airport will have
its potential 3rd consecutive day to observe 100+ degree max
temps.

EDIT: so if we hit 100 today it will be only the 4th time in history Wilmington has hit 100 on 3 consecutive days. The last time it happened was 2012

I think it’s interesting the last two times Wilmington hit 100 3 consecutive days (2012 and 1977), both happened in early July. I’d have thought it’d be easier late July/early Aug assuming that’s when ocean temps peak highest. Maybe its cause the pattern tends to change quicker the later in the season across the CONUS, and the region doesn’t get to “lock in” on a sustained heat wave for consecutive days like we see in early July? Not sure mind you, just thinking out loud.

For fear of sounding like that building block guy, with a solid severe warned line of storms across the entire state, why isn't there a watch? Not anticipating it to hold together?

This is the best looking line we have had down my way this week and today was the least chance of a storm.

These storms are moving much faster than the ones we've seen earlier in the week. So far at my residence near Lake Wheeler, we've had some wind but no thunder and lightning and no rain. We'll see if the rain materializes. With the luck we've had here recently, I wouldn't be surprised if another whiff is in the cards.

They died out here than small line blew up along ofb, and yes moving quick. Moderate rain for about 3 mins or so
 
It's BAD..

A large wildfire continues to burn in Brunswick County, affecting 50-100+ acres along Old Georgetown Road and NC179 near Ocean Isle, impacting structures, with 100s evacuated. The out-of-control wildfire remains uncontained. There have been some injuries reported as well. The firefighters are working to contain it with resources from numerous counties, including Wilmington, coming in to help. High winds and dry conditions are making fire conditions extremely dangerous.
If you’re asked to evacuate PLEASE LEAVE.
Feel free to pass me any information you hear, as I am trying to help keep the public informed.

I have watched local news stations for the area and they are not reporting. No major source of information from other outlets. Mother in law smells and sees smoke and the color of fire in the air. They are northeast of original fire report and are prepared to evacuate.

The fire grew very quickly in the afternoon with winds behind the seabreeze gusting over 30mph. Once that died down and some increase in humidity they've made strong progress. Fire is now reported to be 60% contained.

Need this weekends rain forecast to be right. This fire exploded to 300 acres in no time this evening.

I ended up with just a trace of rain at my house. I went over to grill out with some of my friends this evening since my wife was out of town and the top of a Sweetgum tree snapped off and came within inches of hitting my vehicle. There was no wind at the time so that was not the cause. A couple of them believe that lightning may have struck this tree in the past. Anyway, the sound of a chainsaw will be heard tomorrow morning at that residence.
