CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Brad Panovich is tracking the latest as severe weather moves through the Carolinas. Tornado warnings were in effect for multiple counties in the Charlotte area, but have since expired.
Tuesday-Thursday:
A very rainy pattern this week with an upper low trapped over the region. This will pump lots of tropical moisture into the area . Some rain could be very heavy, mainly in the mountains and foothills where flash flooding is possible. Each day the rainfall chance will be 50-80% with highs only in the mid to upper 70s. Some areas could see 3-6″ of rainfall by the end of the week. Locally heavier amounts are possible.
