We’re monitoring the potential for a few strong storms on Saturday, but the overall severe threat is low. Unfortunately, the first half of the weekend is trending towards a washout. Widespread heavy rain arrives before sunrise and lasts throughout much of the day as a cold front slowly trudges through the WCCB Charlotte viewing area. The main threat will be localized-to-scattered flash flooding, but a few strong cells may pack some gusty winds. The tornado threat is minimal, but can’t be ruled out quite yet. Most, if not all, of the moisture is flushed out by Sunday morning, setting us up with a beautiful final few days of January.
