Listeners, the past 24 hours in Apex, North Carolina have been full of summer surprises. Storm clouds rolled in early Tuesday morning, drenching the town with over an inch of rain by midday according to the National Weather Service. That backdoor cold front moved through bringing heavy showers and some flash flood warnings, while thunder kept folks on alert through lunch hour.

By the afternoon, temperatures ticked up to about 31 degrees Celsius, or 88 degrees Fahrenheit, making things muggy but comfortable if you managed to dodge the rain. Tonight looks a bit calmer, cooling into the low 70s as those rain bands move out and humidity drops a bit.

Pollen levels today were moderate. Pollen.com puts Apex’s index at about a 5 out of 12, with grasses and ragweed showing up in local counts. Allergy sufferers probably felt some relief thanks to the rain tamping down the airborne irritants, but be on the lookout over the next few dry days as levels may rebound.

Air quality across Apex held steady, with Wake County reporting healthy readings throughout Tuesday. The wet weather helped clear out some of yesterday’s lingering ozone and particle counts, so folks with asthma should be breathing easy tonight.

On the sports scene, Tuesday was a big day for Apex Friendship High School’s Jaguars. According to ABC11, their girls’ soccer team pulled off a thrilling 3-2 victory against Holly Springs, sealing the win with a late penalty kick. Over at Apex High, the Cougars boys’ tennis team edged out Middle Creek in a close match, taking the last two sets for a 4-3 final. Track and field meet results are still rolling in, but early highlights show Apex seniors dominating the 400 meter and 4x100 relay, with impressive times despite the slippery track.

A quick town update—the Apex Town Council’s utility billing work session has been trending locally, according to Councilman Jacques Gilbert’s Instagram. Listeners curious about water rates and upcoming infrastructure projects can catch replay coverage this week for more details.

Apex listeners, what a lively twenty-four hours it's been around town. Let’s start with the weather: Saturday brought a classic summer sizzle with high temperatures reaching 89 degrees, humidity hovering in the mid-70s, and plenty of sunshine making it feel even warmer according to Accuweather. Overnight, skies became mostly cloudy and temperatures cooled to the low seventies, offering some relief. Luckily, air quality remained good with only mild levels of ozone, so folks with breathing sensitivities could enjoy their day outdoors.

If you were sneezing more than usual, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality reports that grass pollen was moderate across the area, while tree and weed pollen levels stayed low. Keep that in mind if your afternoon plans involve the parks.

Speaking of parks, the Town of Apex reminds listeners that part of the Reedy Branch Greenway will close for asphalt repairs from August 21 to 22. The large dog park section at Hunter Street Park will also shut down from the 18th through the 22nd for renovations, but the small dog side remains open. Apex Nature Park’s dog area is another great option this week, so Fido won’t miss his playtime.

Following heavy rain earlier this month, a large sinkhole has Olive Chapel Road closed between Ashley Downs Drive and Patterson Grove Road, according to the Town of Apex. Avoid the area and watch for pedestrian detours.

On the sports front, Apex High School’s football squad traveled to Middle Creek last night for their season kickoff, coming up just short with a hard-fought 28-24 loss. Varsity volleyball brought home a win, sweeping Fuquay-Varina three sets to none. Local student-athletes are heating up as the school year ramps up.

In local news, ABC11 reports two theft suspects were taken into custody Friday evening after allegedly attempting to steal from the Target at Beaver Creek Commons. Police quickly detained both, ensuring a quiet Friday night for shoppers.

And while Hurricane Erin strengthened to a Category 4 storm out in the Atlantic this morning, the latest forecast expects it to stay offshore, so no weather worries for Apex this week.

Apex listeners, here’s your whirlwind update from North Carolina’s Peak City. As you woke up today, August thirteenth, expect partly cloudy skies, with morning temps around seventy-eight, heading to a high near ninety this afternoon. Humidity is on the higher side, so it feels a couple degrees warmer, and while there’s a slight risk of isolated thunderstorms by late afternoon, the chance of rain stays low for most of the day according to the Weather Network.

Yesterday’s weather brought more of the summer classic: sunshine, a high of ninety-two degrees, and a light breeze from the northeast. With humidity just north of seventy percent, it was definitely a shorts-and-tank-top sort of day. Air quality is rated good in both Apex and Cary this morning, so outdoor plans are a go if you can handle the heat.

Now, allergy sufferers will be relieved to hear that according to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, the total pollen count from the last 24 hours was low at just under three grains per cubic meter, with mostly grass pollen lingering in the air.

On the sports front, Apex High’s soccer team faced off against Middle Creek last night in a tense match under the lights. The Cougars fell just short, losing two to one, with a late goal from Middle Creek sealing their comeback. Meanwhile, volleyball fans can celebrate, as Apex High’s varsity girls clinched a win over Panther Creek in a clean three-set sweep, continuing their promising start to the season.

A quick heads up for commuters: Apex town officials remind everyone that railroad repairs are causing delays throughout much of Apex and nearby Cary this week, so leave a little extra time, especially during rush hour.

In community news, the Parks and Rec department has announced that fall registration for youth and adult programs starts soon, so now’s the time to plan your autumn activities.

Apex listeners, yesterday brought a classic summer mix of wet and warm, with showers on and off throughout August 5th. According to The Weather Network, the rain was sometimes heavy and temperatures topped out at a comfortable 22 degrees Celsius with lows dipping to about 19 last night. Today, you might want to keep an umbrella handy as the forecast calls for more periods of rain with temperatures rising just a bit, peaking in the mid-20s.

For those of you with allergies, relief is on the way. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality reports that the pollen count remains low, with a reading of just 1.6 grains per cubic meter as of this morning, and grasses are the primary culprit right now. That should spell easier breathing for most of Apex.

Air quality is good as of the latest reports from Weather Underground, which means outdoor activities are safe for everyone—no special precautions needed unless you have extra sensitivity to typical summer particles. With humid air and a light southwest breeze, conditions are comfortable for a stroll to one of Apex’s parks or maybe a quick trip downtown.

In high school sports, all eyes were on Apex Friendship and Apex High as both soccer teams took to the field last night. The Apex Friendship Patriots edged out a close win, 3-2, over the visiting team from Holly Springs in a nail-biter that had the whole stadium on its feet. In volleyball, the Apex High Cougars swept past Panther Creek in straight sets, showing early-season form that should have fans excited for what’s ahead.

The National Weather Service Raleigh has a Heat Advisory in place through 8 PM with heat index values soaring up to 109 degrees. Plan for air conditioning breaks and extra bottles of water, particularly if you’re out at Apex Community Park or just running errands.

As for the air, it’s mostly clear out early today and that blazing sun is paired with a low pollen count. According to NC DENR’s pollen report, the area is clocking just 6.1 grains per cubic meter with grass pollen as the most common culprit, so allergy sufferers are likely breathing a sigh of relief. The air quality is holding up well despite the heat, though with high temperatures, everyone is encouraged to take it slow outside.

High school sports gave fans something to cheer about on Tuesday night—over at Apex Friendship High, the women’s soccer team battled through extra time for a 3-2 win against Holly Springs.

That’s been the talk at coffee shops and around the water cooler.

Community events are rolling on, despite the heat. The Holly Springs Farmers Market is reminding everyone to get there early this Saturday for the best local seafood from Apex Seafood and Market, and if you’re heading out—don’t forget your sunscreen and water.
