Monthly Forecast: March Arrives With Same Song And Dance

March has arrived with the same song and dance, and it looks like there is a good chance of above average precipitation lasting into March.

Western and central locations have already seen 150-200% more precipitation than normal in February, and this trend looks to continue through March. Southeastern NC has seen substantially less precipitation than normal, with some areas receiving just a few inches of rain so far this year.

The National Weather Service has placed much of the Carolinas under a 50% chance of receiving above average precipitation this month. With this amount of rain, flooding may become an issue.
