RALEIGH — Central and Eastern North Carolina is still dealing with the fallout from heavy rainfall over the last two days. We’re in First Alert Mode, telling you what areas to watch out for as rivers rise onto low-lying roads and neighborhoods.
Several rivers, including the Haw, Cape Fear, Neuse and Tar, are expected to flood and become a problem over the weekend. The Tar River in Tarboro is expected to crest Sunday morning at 31.7 feet on Sunday morning.
The Neuse River could crest at 22 feet in Smithfield on Saturday morning while the Cape Fear River could crest on Saturday night.
River Flooding will be a problem over the next 48 hours. Here are some of the hot spots. Purple-Major Flooding expected at that point. #Flooding pic.twitter.com/iky1t4TOUd
