Raleigh, North Carolina – Flash flooding could disrupt Father’s Day weekend plans across central North Carolina as storms continue Saturday and into Sunday. Drivers on roads like US-15, NC-54, and I-40 may face ponding water and reduced visibility by mid-afternoon Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service in Raleigh, a Flood Advisory remains in effect until 6:45 p.m. Friday due to ongoing storms. More showers and thunderstorms are expected on Saturday, June 14, especially between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., with 70% precipitation chances and rainfall totals between a quarter and half an inch. Additional isolated downpours could bring localized flooding to areas such as Chapel Hill, Durham, and Wake Forest.
Areas with poor drainage — including Cary, Apex, and parts of Raleigh — are at increased risk. Residents should avoid flooded roads and monitor real-time alerts. Outdoor Father’s Day plans may need adjusting.
Sunday brings more of the same: a 70% chance of thunderstorms after 11 a.m., with a high near 88°F. While not widespread, isolated severe storms could develop by the afternoon. Winds may gust up to 20 mph.
The unsettled pattern continues into early next week, with rain chances each day through Tuesday, though intensity is expected to ease slightly after Monday.
Stay weather-aware, especially if traveling or hosting outdoor gatherings.
