Heavy rains across Rowan County will be tapering off by 7 p.m., according to an official at the National Weather Service.
“After the (thunderstorm) warning was issued, it began to decrease in strength and just become a really big rain maker right over the city of Salisbury and areas to the north,” meteorologist Doug Outlaw said. “It’s continuing to very slowly move toward Davidson.”
The rain will bring in cooler temperature Saturday with a high of 84 degrees, down from 93 degrees Friday, Outlaw said.
But that doesn’t mean it will be dry.
“A couple of hours in the middle of the area, there is close to a 60 percent chance of showers and storm,” Outlaw said. “The early part of the day, only expect it to have a 30 to 40 percent chance, but it will increase throughout the day.”
