Flash Flood Warning

Good evening, I'm Storm Team 9 Chief Meteorologist David Sawyer.  More showers and storms are possible this evening across eastern NC.  A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Nash County and Edgecombe County until 12:15am.  Click HERE for more information.

A sea breeze front kicked up a strong line of thunderstorms across eastern NC, as forecasted, during Wednesday afternoon.  Although the storms produced some damage in places like Vanceboro (Craven County) and Old Ford (Beaufort County), these afternoon storms have stabilized the atmosphere such that we will NOT have as many storms from this point on WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  Expect a 30 percent chance of scattered showers or storms for the rest of the night.  Overnight lows will drop to the lower 60s inland with upper 60s near the beaches.  Southwest winds will become northerly behind the cold front blowing between 5 and 10 mph.

Although this cold front will bring drier air into eastern North Carolina on THURSDAY, there will still be a 30 percent chance of afternoon or evening showers or thunderstorms forming along the sea breeze along and west of U.S. Highway 17. 

The drier air wins out as we end the week.  Thus, expect more sunshine on FRIDAY with pleasant temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.

Drier air looks to win out for WEEKEND as well.  For more weather details, check out Storm Team 9’s Extended Forecast by CLICKING HERE.
