Raleigh, N.C. — Claudette's impact on North Carolina may be coming to an end overnight.
"The stronger storms are now moving off shore of Myrtle Beach, off shore of Wilmington, and we'll see if that trend will hold true overnight, tonight," said WRAL meteorologist Zach Maloch.
After receiving the storm's newest path from the National Weather Service, Maloch says the coast will remain under a tropical storm warning for at least the next 24 hours.
The rain showers will continue to diminish in central North Carolina.
"We'll see drier weather with us, especially by the morning time frame," Maloch said.
Maloch says storms shouldn't impact Monday morning's commute, but we may still see some wet roads.
"For us tomorrow morning, for the morning commute, expect a cloudy start, damp roads from all the rain we've seen, but not a lot of rain for tomorrow, so minimal impact," he said.
Maloch says that by Monday afternoon, we'll see partly cloudy skies with hot and humid temperatures. Monday's high is 92 degrees.
Heavy storms on Sunday
A Tropical Storm Warning was issued for the North Carolina coast and most of the state's coastline — from Cape Lookout to the Virginia border — experienced a storm surge. The National Hurricane Center says tropical storm conditions are possible overnight Sunday night and Monday morning at North Carolina beaches.
The system brought flooding and heavy rains to North Carolina. The rain and storms made their way through the Triangle on Sunday afternoon as 20 North Carolina counties ended up under alerts related to flooding, including Wayne and Sampson counties.
A tornado warning was issued for Union County until 3:30 p.m. No tornadoes were ever reported or confirmed in the state, as of Sunday night.
Nearly 1,000 people were without power in Siler City on Sunday evening.
Damage down south
Claudette has already torn through southern states, including Louisiana and Alabama, causing major destruction and leaving flood waters in its wake.
Officials say the storm demolished or badly damaged at least 50 homes in a small town just north of the Florida border and a suspected tornado “pretty much leveled” a mobile home park.
Claudette is the first named storm to make landfall in the United States during the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane season
