Heavy rain is expected in many areas this weekend, and North Carolina Emergency Management is urging the public not to drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely.

“Flood watches have expanded across much of central North Carolina as heavy rain spreads across the state,” said North Carolina Emergency Management.
