Heavy Rain, Possible Flash Flooding For Much Of NC: Forecast

CHARLOTTE, NC — A weather moving through the Carolinas is expected to produce heavy rain and a "marginal risk" of flash flooding for much of the state, North Carolina Emergency Management said Tuesday.

"A low pressure system is expected to bring unsettled weather for a majority of this week," NCEM said, via Twitter. The threat for flash flooding will continue along the North Carolina coast Wednesday and Thursday, it said.

"Tropical moisture has spread across the region and will persist into tonight," the National Weather Service said in a hazardous weather outlook bulletin Tuesday. "Areas of heavy rain may develop across the forecast area, especially along and southeast of the Interstate 85 corridor, leading to localized flash flooding."

Keep the umbrellas handy. According to the forecast, there's a chance of rain every day this week.
