Tropical Storm Warning for Meck County From Zeta

Posted in: Madison Park

Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for several counties in the WBTV viewing area. The counties under Tropical Storm Warning include Mecklenburg, Cleveland, Lincoln, Caldwell, Iredell, Burke, Cabarrus, Avery, Gaston, Rowan, Watauga and Ashe.

By first thing Thursday morning, the storm will be moving through the North Carolina mountains.

Because it is such a fast mover, the storm won’t be able to weaken by the time it gets to us. That means we should expect gusty winds during the day on Thursday.

We don’t get Tropical Storm Warnings very often so here’s what it means for us.

  • Winds could gust over 50mph.
  • The mountains could pick up 2-4″ of rain. The rest of us will see up to an inch of rain.
  • For many of us, outside of the mountains, winds will end up being a bigger issue than heavy rain.
  • Bring inside anything which could potentially blow away. That includes lawn furniture and Halloween decorations.
  • A few storms could be strong to severe. An isolated tornado is possible.
