Unsettled weather sticks around for warm, rainy days

Trees had fallen in Sampson, Harnett and Johnston counties Saturday night, damaging homes and bringing down power lines.

One teenager was playing video games in his Sampson County home when a tree crashed through the roof.

"I got up and hauled my butt toward the kitchen, then my mom came running out and saw water coming from the ceiling," Austin Slish told WRAL News.

Calmer weather was in place throughout the day Sunday, but the cold front that brought storms to central North Carolina on Saturday night will move over the area again Sunday night.

“I know we had a break from the rain today, but it is moving right back in overnight tonight,” Wilmoth said Sunday evening.

There’s not a lot of energy in the system, though, so while parts of the state could see heavy rain and some thunderstorms, severe weather isn’t expected Sunday night, Wilmoth said.

It will likely be raining during the morning commute on Monday, with some pockets of heavy rain possible.

The cold front is expected to stall over parts of central North Carolina, with an 80% chance of rain on Monday and Tuesday and a 40% chance of rain on Wednesday.

“We’re going to have a swath of some very heavy rain,” Wilmoth said. “It’s going to be wherever that front decides to stall out.”

Some areas could flood as rain continues to fall day after day after day, Wilmoth said.

Thursday will bring some relief from the rain, with partly cloudy skies expected and only a 20% chance of rain.

High temperatures will stay in the upper 60s and low 70s through Thursday before dropping to the mid-50s on Friday.
