Another line of strong thunderstorms is on the way to the Carolinas, the National Weather Service says, with the potential for tornadoes and heavy rain.
“An approaching strong low pressure system and cold front will push a line of strong to severe thunderstorms eastward across central North Carolina Friday into Friday night. A few of these storms may be capable of producing damaging winds and tornadoes. Very heavy rainfall is likely,” the Weather Service in Raleigh warned.
All of North and South Carolina could see impacts from the storms, but central and eastern North Carolina, along with South Carolina’s Pee Dee and Grand Strand area are at particular risk for severe weather.
“The strongest storms could produce damaging straight-line winds and isolated tornadoes. Flooding rainfall is also possible,” the Weather Service said Wednesday morning.
The Interstate 95 corridor could see some of the heaviest rains with at least 1.5 inches predicted, according to the Weather Service’s Wilmington office. Parts of northeast South Carolina, including the Myrtle Beach area, could also see more than 1.5 inches of rain, according to the Weather Service.
