Storms rolling through Raleigh on Sunday cause flooding and delays

Severe storm moved through central North Carolina on Sunday.

Organizers of the African American Cultural Festival delayed the final day of festivities as storms popped up in Wake County.

The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning this afternoon for both northern and southern Wake County, saying intense rain and strong wind gusts would be possible.

Elsewhere in Wake County, The North Carolina Courage were forced to postpone the return celebration of five players who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics after downpours delayed the second half of their game against the Kansas City Current.

“The club will communicate a make-up date and plan for the ceremony soon,” the team said in a statement.

On Glenwood Avenue, several cars got caught up in the flooding, with several cars getting stuck in traffic as flood waters rose. As of 7:30 p.m., there is no reported injuries associated with the storms.

The storm potential is expected to continue through Sunday evening, as a cold front continues moving in.
