Tropical Rains, Tornado Risk

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Flood Warning and Flood Watch for Central NC have been canceled. A Flood Watch continues for Northampton County through evening.

TODAY: The center of the low that brought copious amounts of rain to Central NC and the NC coast is just south of Charlotte, NC. A band of scattered showers and storms will shift north this morning, exiting much of the Triangle area around the morning commute with generally dry weather to the south. A few scattered showers and isolated storms will be possible through the afternoon, with another 0.75" or less of rain possible. A few stronger storms possible around I-95 counties.

Expect breezy conditions today, with highs in the low 70s north and near 80 in the Triangle & south. Aside from spotty rain, showers and a few storms across diminish into the evening hours.

THE REST OF THE WEEK: The upper-level pattern and an area of low pressure off the Mid-Atlantic will keep conditions unsettled Wednesday and Thursday. Expect clouds and a few scattered showers and isolated storms. Highs will be near average-in the low 80s, with lows in the 60s.

TROPICAL DISCUSSION: We are also monitoring a broad area in the western Atlantic, Caribbean, and eastern Gulf of Mexico with a low chance of development September 22-27. Models at the moment have at

least low pressure developing, so the chance may increase as we approach that time period.

Have a great day!
