View of Uptown at 10 a.m. from Channel 9′s tower camera:
Winds will pick up but won’t pose too much of a threat.
Greatest threat for lightning appears to be around noon through late afternoon.
There appears to be a brief break by midday so that should allow for things to calm down a little bit.
Highs will be in the upper 70s today and low 80s tomorrow.
Sunday looks messy with on-and-off showers picking back up by late morning. Rainfall totals for the next 48 hours look around .75-1″ for the city.
Dewpoints will be high throughout the weekend so it’s going to be feeling muggy.
As of 8:07 a.m., Stanly County is under a Flash Flood Warning. Over 2 inches of rain has already fallen. Additional amounts will probably exceed 1 inch.
Flash Flood Warning for Stanly County in NC until 10:00am Saturday.
