FORECAST:

• Tracking heavy downpours slowly moving into the metro today.
• So far, the rain has been stuck north of Charlotte, but it will eventually move south as the day goes on.
• A Flood Watch is in place for most of our area today as a few inches of rain could fall in a short period of time, leading to minor flooding.
• Temps are tricky today, all depending on how much rain falls.
• Those areas that get a steadier rain won’t likely get out of the 70s, but those that stay drier (mainly south) may make it well into the 80s or even some 90s.
• Rain chances linger into the weekend, but the overall flood threat will diminish.
• Temps stay below 90 degrees for several days before we heat up again next week.
