We’re in for pleasant weather across North Carolina for the rest of this week, but we all need to keep a close eye on the weekend outlook.
What You Need To Know
- A line of storms is expected to move from west to east across North Carolina on Sunday and Sunday night
- Some of the storms could produce heavy rain and damaging wind gusts
- Stay tuned for updates to the forecast as the weekend approaches
A potent storm system will develop across the central part of the country at the end of this week. As that system tracks to the east into the weekend, it will tap into Gulf moisture, producing strong storms across much of the southern and eastern U.S.
While scattered storms will be possible late Saturday in parts of western North Carolina, the greatest chance for storms in the state will come Sunday and Sunday night.
As a front tracks from west to east, it will likely produce a band of heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms. Some of those storms could become strong enough to produce damaging straight-line wind gusts.
Since that’s still several days away, the exact timing of the storms is a bit uncertain. Be sure to stay tuned to Weather on the 1s on Spectrum News 1 as we fine tune the details of the late weekend storm threat over the coming days…
