Raleigh, N.C. — The U.S. Storm Prediction Center upgraded the Triangle’s threat for severe weather on Friday to a level 4 of 5.

Isolated thunderstorms are possible between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., and the risk for intense storms increases between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The storm system is expected to bring dangerous winds, large hail, downpours and possible tornadoes.
