SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE 
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH DAYBREAK.

AN AREA OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS CONTINUE 
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT. THE STRONGEST SHOWERS WERE AROUND
LOCUST...OAKBORO AND NORWOOD. SIGNIFICANT RAINS FELL OVER THE AREA 
THE EVENING HOURS ON FRIDAY. THIS ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL FURTHER 
INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS

DANGERS OF FLOODS.
