Flash flood watch issued for much of central NC, up to 3 inches of rain likely
Raleigh, N.C. — Several inches of rain could fall throughout central North Carolina on Wednesday and Thursday, triggering a risk for isolated flooding.
A great number of counties west of the Triangle, including Orange and Person, and some east of the Triangle, are under a flash flood watch until 7 p.m.
The viewing area, from Greenville and the Interstate 95 corridor west through the Triangle and the Triad, is at a medium risk for flash flooding through Wednesday.
WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said rain chances will increase throughout the day Wednesday. The morning will start out with a 30% chance of rain and then by afternoon will be up to 80%.
Rain chances will continue to stay high with a 50-60% chance for the evening.
The rain could be heavy at times, especially in the afternoon and into the night, with up to 3 inches possible by Wednesday night. There is also a chance for storms.
Thursday will be another rainy day, and through Friday, we could see up to 5 inches of rain.
Temperatures stay warm, though, with highs in the 70s and overnight lows in the 60s.
Friday brings fewer showers and the start of a few cooler days. The weekend also looks mild, with highs in the mid to upper 60s, although the rain chance lingers through Saturday.
