A combination of heavy rain on already saturated soils and strong wind gusts will cause power outages. Aside from any severe storm, wind could still gusts upwards 40-60 mph. Secure loose items around your home and use caution while driving high-profile vehicles. The Mountains are under a High Wind Warning with a better shot at winds up to 65 mph.

The severe threat is primarily for areas south and east of Charlotte during the afternoon. Winds will still be gusty into the evening behind this storm system, keeping the threat for downed trees and limbs, impacting powerlines through the late evening. Stay weather aware and stay safe.
