Showers and thunderstorms will impact the area on Thursday. Some of the storms may be severe. Damaging winds will be the main threat but an isolated tornado will also be possible. This is all thanks to a dynamic storm system that is bringing sleet and freezing rain to the NC mountains and cold rain to the Piedmont. We are on the warmer side of the system so we have the thunderstorm threat. Rain may also be heavy at times so flooding will also be possible. We will finally dry out on Friday with sunshine for the weekend.
