    Widespread showers and a few thunderstorms with torrential downpours will develop across eastern North Carolina through tonight as low pressure develops along a front stalled just to the south of the area through tonight.

    It is possible we could see two plus inches of rain between now and midnight Tuesday. Take care, but please provide a precautionary statement to all county personnel and first responders to stay, “Weather Aware” for the next 36 hours. We have to arrive safely to assist our fellow citizens and neighbors with their problems or emergencies.
