GLOBAL WARMING STRIKES AGIAN!!!!!!!!

What the heck! I thought Al Gore said the world was melting! that we're all doomed...lions and tigers and bears oh my! I guess one of those icebergs that Gore is talking about broke loose and parked itself off the coast of North Carolina and caused the extreme temperature drop right? right? Anyways get real and get informed.

Charlotte temperature hits 123-year low

GREG LACOUR

This morning was downright cool in the Charlotte region -- cool enough to break a record that had stood for more than a century.

The temperature at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport was 56 at about 5:30 a.m., breaking the July 2 record of 58, set in 1885. The normal low for this time of year is 70.

It'll warm up quickly today, though. Temperatures today are expected to peak at 90 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. But it'll still feel pleasant because of humidity levels between 20 and 25 percent, said NWS meteorologist Doug Outlaw.

Conditions will be cool again overnight, with the low descending to 59, one degree warmer than the record for July 3, set in 1932. And the Fourth of July is expected to be warm and dry, with a high of 92 and "a very, very minimal chance" of rain, Outlaw said.

Forecasters don't expect any rain until Saturday afternoon, when they call for a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms.
