Radar indicated rainfall at rates of up to 2.5 inches in Raleigh just before 5 p.m. Heavy rain like that poses the risk of flooding of small streams and creeks. A WRAL viewer in Apex reported hail at the intersection of N.C. Highway 55 and U.S. Highway 64.
The storms are part of a typical late-summer pattern of heat, humidity and afternoon storms, WRAL meteorologist Nate Johnson said.
"Greg calls this meteorological monotony," Johnson said, referring to WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel.
There is a chance for summer storms each afternoon this week, Johnson said. Any one storm could become severe, posing the threat of hail and high winds.
