Mixed bag: central North Carolina faces severe weather risk Sunday; wintry mix by midweek



 RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Buckle up! North Carolina weather is going to take us on a wild ride this week with a little bit of everything, starting Sunday.

SUNDAY: There is a level one risk of severe storms for central North Carolina. Alongside some heavy morning rain, ABC11 meteorologists estimate the biggest chance for damaging winds is between 9 a.m. and noon, reaching up to 60 mph. There is a chance of an isolated tornado, but is very unlikely.

Severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for several counties in the central parts of the state. A high wind warning has been issued for the Triangle.

Power Outages

As of 9:30 a.m., over 30,000 are without power across North Carolina. This includes 822 Duke Energy customers in Wake County.

Look Ahead

Back to a chilly day for President's Day on Monday.

The ABC11 Weather Team is still watching data as a system develops near Colorado late Sunday into Monday, which will help fine-tune the details of this system.

WEDNESDAY: Some wintry precipitation could develop Wednesday into Wednesday night across parts of central NC. As things stand right now the highest likelihood would be more of sleet and freezing rain mix rather than snow to our region.

THURSDAY: Cold but drying out.

FRIDAY: Temperatures in the teens and low 20s!
