...A LINE OF HEAVY SHOWERS WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL AFFECT NORTHEASTERN
SCOTLAND...SAMPSON...CUMBERLAND AND HOKE COUNTIES UNTIL 1015 PM
EDT...
At 920 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a line of heavy showers
along a line extending from 8 miles north of Laurinburg to near Rex
to near White Oak. Movement was north at 20 mph.
Wind gusts up to 40 mph will be possible with these showers.
Heavy rain and minor flooding will also be possible with these
showers.
Locations impacted include...
Fayetteville, Clinton, Raeford, Fort Bragg, Harrells, Pope AFB,
Antioch, Jerome, Hope Mills and Spring Lake.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Seek shelter in a nearby building or vehicle. Wind gusts as high as
40 mph are capable of knocking down tree limbs and blowing around
trash cans, potted plants, lawn furniture and other light outdoor
objects.
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.
