Flood Watch Issued for Several North Carolina Counties
A Flood Watch is in effect for multiple counties in North Carolina until Wednesday morning. The alert was issued due to a coastal low pressure system bringing periods of heavy rain to the central part of the state.
Heavy Rainfall Expected
A coastal low pressure system has been impacting central North Carolina since Monday night. The heaviest rainfall is anticipated to continue through Tuesday afternoon. Residents should remain vigilant and monitor local weather updates.
Rainfall Projections and Potential Impacts
Rainfall totals are projected to reach between 2 and 4 inches, with some areas potentially experiencing higher amounts, particularly along the I-95 corridor. This locally heavy rain could lead to isolated flooding in vulnerable areas. While the Triangle area will experience periods of dry weather on Tuesday, the overall flood risk remains.
Looking Ahead: Weather Forecast
Wednesday will bring drier conditions as the low pressure system moves northeast, away from the region. Temperatures will rebound into the 70s in the afternoon. Thursday and Friday are expected to be dry and sunny, with temperatures climbing back into the mid to upper 80s. Humidity will also increase due to a predominantly southerly to southeasterly flow.
