Rain on tap today

Good Saturday Morning! We are in for a rainy Saturday today the good news is even though chances are high it will not be a washout. We will see isolated showers move through the county this morning and throughout the day. 

Aa we move into the late evening hours the rain will become more widespread as some heavy precipitation works its way into the county.

Around 11pm this evening we will see some very heavy precipitation move through the county that will just add to already saturated ground. 

By midnight tonight we will see anywhere from a half of an inch to three quarters of an inch of accumulations around the county 

Rain will not be our only weather event to deal with today. We will see wind speeds start to increase throughout the day as a cold front begins to move closer to the region. Sustained winds of around 15-20mph are likely.

Wind gust will also be on the rise throughout the day as well. We could see gust of 25-30mph around the county as we move through the day. It is likely we could see some trees and power lines come down with the already saturated ground around the county.

I will of course keep you updated right here and on social media throughout the day and evening. As always thank you for following Rowan County Weather!
