...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 330 IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central North Carolina.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the following hazards.

   Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

Thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening will pose a primary
risk of damaging wind gusts, with some hail in the most intense
storms.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

The approach of a slow-moving upper level system interacting with a
stationary frontal zone across the region will bring wet and
unsettled weather conditions Friday through early next week. The
potential for multiple days of moderate to heavy rainfall will
result in an increased threat for flash flooding, especially west of
the Triangle.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed.
