...A strong thunderstorm will affect portions of northwestern
Franklin...southwestern Vance and southeastern Granville Counties
Until 730 PM EDT...
At 640 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm 7
miles east of Creedmoor, moving southeast at 20 mph.
Pea size hail and wind gusts up to 40 mph will be possible with this

Drivers are urged to slow down and use extra caution to avoid
hydroplaning, especially in urban areas where prolonged heavy rain
can quickly lead to flooding.

stations and available television stations for additional information
and possible warnings from the National Weather Service.
