Foothills Weather...Very stormy and Very Wet Weekend (and beyond!)

Stormy Weekend!  After the worst Spring in United States history, the hits just keep on coming. A bizarre pattern continues to show up on the maps for the weekend and beyond, one that rarely happens. Two upper lows are forecast to merge, right over the Carolinas. We've already been dealt the most active Spring storm season on record over much of the country, especially in our backyard, and there's no end in sight. Heavy rains will develop Friday and last off and on through the weekend. At any time the skies could open up and pour forth buckets of rain, but the severe part may be more limited this time until later next week when additional energy heads right for us. Then, another outbreak of strong thunderstorms and possible tornadoes will have to be watched. I won't be surprised if 5" to 10" of rain occurs in the next week of parts of Rutherford and Cleveland County, with possible flooding to contend with.Stay safe and alert!
