FORECAST:

• The area of low pressure we have been discussing for days and expecting to develop off the southeast coast is slowly doing just that.
• It may take on more tropical characteristics before making landfall along the North Carolina and South Carolina border Monday evening/night then heading up into Virginia. Regardless, it will likely have a lot of moisture with it and is a slow mover.
• Locally, the heaviest and steadiest rains will likely move in Monday afternoon and taper off through Tuesday.
• There will be a gusty north-northeast wind of 35mph at times so there could be some local power outages Monday afternoon-Tuesday.
• 1-3 inches of rain for Charlotte is expected, less west, and could easily double that far northeast and eastern counties towards the coast. Once we get by this, relatively uneventful the rest of the week.
