According to the FAA, the ground stop was expected to be in effect until at least 7:45 p.m., but just before 7:30 p.m., it no longer showed on the website.
Mecklenburg and Union counties were both under Flood Advisories Saturday evening as the scattered storms moved through the area. The rain came as a welcome relief from the heat and from recently dry weather.
