CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Weather Alert: Flash flooding still a concern
Some rain totals from Uptown and areas immediately south have seen 2-5 inches or rain which prompted a Considerable Flash Flood Warning Thursday evening.
⏰ WHEN:
- Today through tonight.
- Morning rain will wind down giving way to an eventual sunshine.
- Scattered showers and storms will develop this afternoon and continue into the evening and overnight.
- Current timing trending highest after 4 p.m. Once the sunshine becomes more prevalent you know you are within a couple to a few of hours of an increase in storm coverage.
🌧️ IMPACT:
- Flash flooding remains a threat, especially in areas that saw heavy rain on Thursday.
- Slow-moving storms could dump heavy rainfall over already saturated ground, leading to urban flooding and quick rises in creeks and streams.
- The Charlotte metro and parts of the northern upstate are particularly vulnerable due to recent rainfall.
- A Marginal Risk (low) for excessive rainfall remains in place today.
✅ WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Avoid flooded roads — turn around, don’t drown.
- Keep a close eye on the radar, especially late today through tonight.
- Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, especially if you live in a flood-prone area.
- Conditions may worsen quickly if storms train over the same area.
