Happy Memorial Day to everyone! First and foremost thank you to the service men and women who have served and given the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you to those who are serving now! Last but not least thank you to the families who have loved ones serving or who have served!
More rain is likely today
Wow! What a night! Thunderstorms moved through the county and the area brining some lightning, thunder and gusty winds with them. There were lots of damage reports to our west. From what I have observed so far this morning. There have been no reports here in Rowan County.
Severe Weather threat is possible tonight.
As we kickoff the long Memorial Day Weekend we have a threat for severe weather in the county. There are a few concerns I have with storms that move through the area and the county tonight so lets outline them here for you to prepare.
Severe Storms likely this afternoon and evening.
We have had quite a bit of rain over the past few days but have managed to avoid severe weather. I feel we may be reaching the point that severe weather will come into play today.
Rain will continue tonight
As of this morning at the weather center we had 1.68 inches of rainfall form last nights rains. We will dry out a little during the day today. However, rain will move back into the county later this evening around 6 or 7pm.
Weekly Road Closure Report 5/22/17
Good morning! Here is this weeks road closure report. If you do not see a project listed. The NCDOT has not released information on it or has it listed as a permanent closure with no estimated reopening.
Rain returns this afternoon
We have had a few spotty showers around the county already this morning. However, the heavier rain is coming. I am expecting a line of showers to move in around the 1-3 timeframe this afternoon depending on where you are in the county.
Slight chance for an isolated shower later tonight
As we close in on the weekend rain chances start to increase. A weak low pressure system will move north of the area today and with that we could see an isolated shower or two later this evening. If you are heading to All-Star Race qualifying and the Truck Race tonight.
