NEW: I-85 South/I-40 West remains closed this morning near Graham from Exit 152, Trollingwood Hawfields Road, to Exit 148, NC 54, due to flooding. Graham and Mebane due to the Haw River cresting at the second-highest crest. Haw River at Haw River has finally crested and reached 32.5 feet at 4:45 AM this morning. It is the 2nd highest river stage ever recorded at this site, and it was only eclipsed by Hurricane Fran in 1996 when the stage reached 32.83 feet.

If you’re traveling from the Triad to/from Raleigh, 421 to 64 would be your best bet. I-40/85 could be closed for up to 48 hours here.

Season

03/06/2025

A storm system is expected to form off the coast of the southeastern U.S. in the next few days. It's currently not a tropical storm, but if it stays over the ocean, it might start to look more like a tropical or subtropical storm later this week as it moves northeast at about 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Right now, there's a low chance (10%) of it becoming a named storm within the next 7 days.

02/06/2025

North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico:

A non-tropical low pressure system is expected to form near or offshore of the southeastern U.S. coast within the next couple of days. If it stays offshore, there's a low chance (10%) it could gradually become subtropical or tropical later this week as it moves northeast at 10-15 mph. No formation is expected within the next 48 hours.
