It was a dark and stormy night around Rowan County, leaving some people without power. The storms were even heavier to our northeast.
After Monday’s storms and last night’s, we’re under another hazardous weather outlook today, with numerous thunderstorms expected to develop, especially this afternoon and into the night. Some of the storms will become severe, just like the last two days.
The chance of bad weather today is 60 percent, and it will be a mostly cloudy day. Rainfall totals can be heavy in the strong storms. Expect a high of 89. Tonight’s low will be 67, with continuing storms.
We’ll still have a good chance of showers and storms Thursday — 50 percent during the day, and it will be mostly cloudy again, with a high near 83. Thursday’s low will be 64, with a 40 percent chance of showers on Thursday night.
