The National Weather Service Raleigh bureau says another round of severe storms is possible late Friday.

In its 3 p.m. report the NWS said hazards across central North Carolina include thunderstorms, high winds and flash flooding while tornadoes could be expected south of the Highway 64 corridor.

The NWS said based on current forecast models and guidance its confidence is lower regarding how serious and widespread Friday’s severe weather flood threat will be compared to Tuesday’s.

There is an elevated chance of damaging straight line winds across central North Carolina and limited chances of non-thunderstorm wind gusts and flash flooding across the region.

The timing of the event is Friday afternoon into Friday night.

Rainfall amounts are predicted to be much less Friday than what was experienced Tuesday.

A half-inch to three quarters of an inch of rain is expected across the western half of the state while a quarter-inch to a half-inch of rain is expected across the state’s eastern half.

The NWS says, however, the ground is still wet from Tuesday’s storm so even rainfall of less than an inch, if the rainfall rates are heavy, could result in localized flash flooding.

A strong storm system could produce a half-inch to an inch of rain as the storm tracks east through central North Carolina between 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday.
