...AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT NORTHERN
RANDOLPH AND GUILFORD COUNTIES UNTIL 400 PM EDT...

At 303 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking an area of showers and
strong thunderstorms near Greensboro, moving southeast at 10 mph.

Pea size hail and wind gusts up to 40 mph will be possible with this
storm.

Heavy rain and minor flooding and deadly cloud to ground lightning
will also be possible with this storm.

Locations impacted include...
Greensboro, High Point, Asheboro, Randleman, McLeansville, Archdale,
Summerfield, Trinity, Stokesdale and Pleasant Garden.

Seek shelter in a nearby building or vehicle. Wind gusts as high as

Locally heavy rain will quickly reduce visibility and result in
ponding of water on roadways, standing water in low lying areas, and
minor flooding of creeks, streams, and areas of poor drainage.
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.
