Discussion:
We’re waking up to patchy fog and ongoing showers and storms south and east of I-85. A flood watch is in effect for Stanly, Anson, Richmond and Chesterfield Counties from 11am today through Thursday. A stalled front will once again help ignite showers and storms this afternoon with highs reaching the low 90s. The moisture rich atmosphere will provide plenty of fuel for more storms today with rainfall rates in excess of 2″ per hour possible. The flooding threat will peak Thursday as an approaching front collides with the stalled boundary and tropical environment. This will likely lead to more storms and heavy rainfall with an additional 1-2″ likely for the region. The front will likely stall south of the region Friday before moving off the coast this weekend. Highs will only reach the low to mid 80s Thursday through Saturday with the extra cloud cover and storms. Behind the front, drier air will filter in with temps rebounding back into the upper 80s by Sunday.
