Raleigh, NC – Scattered thunderstorms and rain are expected to impact the Raleigh-Durham area through Tuesday evening, with potential travel disruptions along major routes like I-40 and U.S. Route 70. Rainfall amounts could range between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, with the highest chance of storms in the afternoons.
The National Weather Service reports a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms starting Monday afternoon, with rainfall continuing through Tuesday. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, as sudden downpours could reduce visibility and cause slick road conditions, especially during peak travel times. Minor flooding is also possible in low-lying areas, so motorists should plan for possible delays.
By Wednesday, the storm system will move out, leaving mostly sunny skies and calmer conditions. Highs will reach the low 80s, and the weather is expected to stay dry through the weekend. However, the aftermath of the rain could still make some roads hazardous, so it’s important to stay updated on local conditions.
