FORECAST:

  • Rain is slowly starting up this morning and will fill in with some heavier downpours as we head toward late morning.
  • Flood Watches are in place west toward the mountains and far southeast of Charlotte.
  • Most neighborhoods in the metro should see between 1-2 inches of rain, but areas in the mountains could see closer to 5” or more.
  • A threat for stronger storms could show up later this afternoon and evening, mainly south and west of Charlotte.
  • There’s a low risk for damaging winds and even a brief tornado.
  • Those threats quickly diminish tonight as the rain begins to ease up.
  • There will still be a threat for scattered downpours tomorrow, but the activity won’t be as widespread as today.
  • Drier conditions come back in for the second half of the week as some heat returns. Highs return to the mid to upper 80s by Thursday through the weekend.
  • A few late-day storms may pop up as we head to the weekend.

The rain showers will continue into Wednesday before we really heat things up late this week.
