A flood watch is in effect for central North Carolina, including the Triangle, as slow moving fronts travel across the state. A few of the storms could become strong to severe, \u201cwith gusty winds or even a brief tornado,\u201d according to the National Weather Service\u2019s Raleigh office.<\/p>\n

\u201cContinuous rounds of showers and storms through the day will produce 2 to 4 inches of rain<\/b>, with locally higher amounts of 6+ inches<\/b> (mainly across the Triangle area),\u201d according to an early morning briefing from the National Weather Service. \u201cScattered instances of flash flooding<\/b> will be possible, with the greatest risk over the northeast Piedmont and northern and central Coastal Plain, including in the Triangle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parts of Interstates 85 and 40 are closed in some areas due to flooding, according to the Orange Rural Fire Department in Hillsborough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are responding to multiple calls for flooded roads, cars in the water and trees down<\/b>,\u201d according to the fire department. \u201cIf you have to go out, give yourself extra time. I85\/40 is shut down due to flooding. If you usually travel the interstate between Hillsborough and Efland to work or home, find a different route and stay off the interstate.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Triad, where the storms moved from Wednesday and overnight, about five inches of rain fell in Burlington and 2.5 inches in Greensboro from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.<\/p>\n
