This is because the front is bringing up warm, moist air which could set the stage for strong to severe thunderstorms late Sunday afternoon and early evening. People north of I-40 will see around 3 inches of rain and 2 inches in the Charlotte metro region.
A Flash Flood Watch will go into place Sunday afternoon for most of our viewing area. The Storm Prediction Center has already placed the Carolinas in a slight risk area for severe storms Sunday. The main threat will be along I-85.
Cooler air will move into our area Monday afternoon with high pressure taking center stage most of our work week.
