Slow-moving storms prompt flooding concerns

Raleigh, N.C. — The National Weather Service issued flood advisories for several central North Carolina counties on Monday afternoon as slow-moving storms began dumping rain across the region.
The risk for severe storms was minimal, WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze said, but isolated storms could drop heavy rain on locations across the region.
“Make sure you know where your umbrellas are,” meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said. “Some areas could see lots of rain.”
The cloud cover will keep a lid on hot weather, and the high temperature is expected to top out only in the mid-80s, Gardner said.
The low temperature is expected to range in the 60s.
Gardner said a stationary front that has stalled in the area is responsible for the cloudy skies and rain.
The forecast for the remainder of the week includes a chance for rain as central North Carolina settles back into its summer weather pattern.
