Heavy rain has led to flooding on several roadways and parts of I-485 in west Charlotte, with minor water buildup reported. The North Carolina Highway Patrol is reminding drivers of the golden rule: “Turn around, don’t drown.” Never try to drive through standing water, even a few inches can cause you to lose control or stall your vehicle.
According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, here’s a look at some of the major traffic impacts:
Wilkinson Blvd (US-74) near Sam Wilson Rd
US-29 (N Tryon St), Near Ashby St
I-77 Southbound near Mile Marker 13
Brookshire Blvd (NC-16) near Rozzelles Ferry Rd
Be sure to give yourself some extra time Tuesday morning as heavier rain moves in late morning and early afternoon. Highs will be limited to the low 70s as winds continue to flow out of the northeast between 3 and 8 miles per hour.
We can see anywhere between a tenth of an inch to half an inch of rain by Tuesday evening, with most of the rain tapering off by dinner time.
Cloudy skies will linger as overnight lows bottom out in the mid-60s heading into Wednesday.
