Storms Linger with Flooding Risk | Winston–Salem News

Storms are brewing across North Carolina and Virginia through the second week of August, fueled by tropical moisture colliding with afternoon heat—sparking scattered thunderstorms that could deliver damaging winds and heavy downpours. A recent tropical wave brought torrential rain, easing drought in Northwest NC, though recovery is still needed elsewhere. Tuesday and Wednesday carry the highest risk for severe storms—with gusts over 58 mph and flash flooding likely in the Foothills and Mountains. Humidity will linger, with daily storm chances, following historic flash floods in Surry and Stokes Counties last week. Stay alert: this week’s weather could mean more flooding and powerful storms.
