  • Overnight into Saturday morning: Light rainfall develops with some moderate showers possible through the middle of the morning Saturday.
  • Midday Saturday: Periods of light rain and mist develop into steady showers with heavy rainfall developing into the evening hours. Brief breaks in the rain are possible, but rain is expected to intensify into the afternoon.
  • Late Saturday evening-overnight: Rain and isolated thunderstorms are expected to bring rounds of torrential downpours through Sunday morning. Excessive runoff into creeks and streams may cause sharp water level rises leading to low-lying flooding.
  • Sunday morning-noon Sunday: Waves of heavy rainfall may begin to pivot North as the warm front begins lifting toward Virginia. Rain breaks are expected midday Sunday with some cloud thinning.
  • Sunday afternoon-evening: Scattered thunderstorms are likely with heavy rainfall threats returning where storms may move overhead from the High Country to the Foothills, and into the Piedmont Triad.
  • Mountains: Areas along the Blue Ridge Parkway may receive 1-3 inch rainfall totals through Sunday evening.
  • Foothills: Rain in the Foothills from Yadkinville to Mount Airy may bring 1-2 inch totals.
  • Piedmont Triad: Torrential downpours and several waves of heavy rain may bring isolated totals of 3-5 inches
  • Saturday: Overcast skies are more likely the entire day due to a wedge of milder, cloudy air developing with an ENE breeze from our beaches. This may linger for part of the day on Sunday until the warm front lifts north. There may be breaks from the heavy rainfall on Saturday, but steady showers and mist are likely.
  • Sunday: Depending on when the warm front rides north on Sunday, we will have breaks from the rain and may also see the sunshine return as clouds thin in response to a southerly wind pattern. The warm front is currently forecast to move north quickly on Sunday with scattered storm chances returning Sunday afternoon until early evening.
