FORECAST:
It's a warm and muggy start to our weekend with a few showers pushing through the mountains.
It's going to be a hot and mostly dry day overall with temperatures climbing near 90 degrees. Factor in the humidity and it feels more like the mid-90s!
We'll keep the chance for a hit or miss storm in the forecast with the heating of the day.
A storm complex moving in from the west could also impact our area tonight and bring a chance for a strong to severe storm. However, the risk is low as many models have this activity diving south of I-85.
Overall, it's a low risk for storms today, but anything we do see could be strong to severe with damaging wind gusts our highest concern.
It's a similar story on Sunday with high heat, humidity, and an isolated strong to severe storm with the heating of the day.
This summer-like pattern continues for much of next week as well.

Tips on how to file an insurance claim for storm damage

Helpful tips on how to file a insurance claim for storm damage Helpful tips on how to file a insurance claim for storm damage Helpful tips on how to file a insurance claim for storm damage Many people are dealing with damage from downed trees caused by Thursday's severe weather – that means dealing with insurance. No matter what you're dealing with, starting the process as soon as possible is key, and that starts with documentation. Take as many photos and videos as you can for your insurance company. If necessary, take steps to prevent any further damage, like covering broken windows or tarping up a damaged roof. Save your receipts. Many policies reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses related to the claim, like paying for a tarp or lodging. When it comes downed trees, where they ultimately fall makes all the difference. If a tree falls in your yard, but doesn't hit anything, that's likely on you to pay to clean it up. But if the tree falls on your house, that's a claim with your insurance company for removal and repairs to your home. Now, if your tree falls on your neighbor's house, then it's your neighbor's homeowners' insurance policy that's going to be responsible. If it's your car that was damaged in the storm, as long as you have comprehensive coverage, you'd file that claim with your auto insurance. One thing to keep in mind after a storm is the scammers. The Better Business Bureau warns that they might pose as a utility repair worker or an insurance adjuster. Never pay money up front if someone shows up at your door, and never share your policy details with anyone until you verify who they're with.

Charlotte woman advocates for change after losing home in flash flood

A local woman lost most of her personal belongings after a flash flood swept through her home on June 12. Jane Morin, pantry coordinator for the nonprofit Hearts United for Good, said the water came from the creek by her house. Morin told Channel 9's Eli Brand the water got high enough to go over the bridge and into her home. The water inside was almost knee-deep. 'Anything that was down here in any of these cabinets or sitting on the floor is not salvageable,' she said. Morin was in the process of moving so most of her things were packed in boxes on the floor. She wasn't home when the flood started, and by the time she found out about it, she had to wait for flood waters to recede before she could check on the damage. Morin wasn't the only one affected by the heavy rains. One of her neighbors had to be rescued from the waters by the Charlotte Fire Department, she said. Both Morin and her neighbor were given orders to vacate within 30 days because of the damage. Luckily, Morin says she has a new home to move into, but that isn't the case for everyone. 'It rained four inches in 90 minutes,' she said. 'We've seen in western North Carolina how much damage can be done quickly because of water.' Morin wants people to understand that things like this can cause people to experience homelessness. She says there is a chance she could have been temporarily unhoused if she didn't already have a home lined up. It's something she sees regularly with her work at HUG, a nonprofit that helps feed the hungry and people experiencing homelessness in the city. 'I would love for there to be a different narrative around people being unhoused,' she said. Morin says people from her organization are doing what they can to help, and she is encouraging others to offer whatever help they can to those in need as well. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help with Morin's recovery efforts. Morin added that there were donations in her home for her niece who recently became unhoused. Her niece is pregnant, she said. Many of those donations were lost. To donate directly to HUG, visit VIDEO: Flash flooding hits Caldwell County after strong storms
