Brick Tamland Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Pretty good stretch of sun coming for central and eastern NC, its bright blinding sun outside right now reflecting off all the water from the earlier rain. Things might get nasty after all in a few hours..... Greg Fishel just said on WRAL how the sun is out in eastern NC and the storms could get stronger as they head east because of the heating.
