It's going to be an extremely hot weekend in the Charlotte metro area. Temperatures will be in the mid-to-upper 90s and the heat index will be over 100 degrees. On this episode of #WakeUpCLT To Go, we have heat safety tips to help you avoid getting dehydrated and Larry Sprinkle has your full weekend forecast.

Plus, the summer heat could be a sign of things to come. Now, just because summer temperatures this year are pushing 100 degrees doesn't mean the next year or two will be extreme or apocalyptic, but climate experts believe the earth's temperatures could get even hotter during summer. We connect the dots on what it means for us in the Carolinas and the U.S.

And finally, we're taking a look at the heat forecast for the entire U.S. Heat advisories and warnings are in effect for huge portions of the country as the dangerous heat wave brings triple-digit temperatures to areas across the Northeast.
