The next chance for rain across central NC will be Saturday through Monday as moisture from the remnants of Hurricane #Delta reaches the area. Total forecast amounts from the WPC are generally about half an inch to an inch, as the heaviest rain should remain to the west. #ncwx

"We know and we’ve heard very strongly that we need to have resilience training for local communities," says #NCORR's Chief Resilience Officer Jess Whitehead.

Hurricane Delta is a cat 4 hurricane, headed toward the Yucatan peninsula. No significant impacts are expected for central NC, however folks with interests along the Gulf Coast should monitor the progression of this system closely. Visit https://t.co/JDZIlZHUNs for more info.

[NWS Raleigh @NWSRaleigh]

Hurricane #Delta has strengthened to a Category 2 storm, and it is forecast to strengthen further before making landfall on the central Gulf Coast late Fri/early Sat. Delta's remnants are likely to bring rain to central #NCwx this weekend, but exact amounts are still uncertain.
