Wednesday's temperatures should reach 61 degrees, with wind gusts approaching 35 mph, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly's forecast.

"We are expecting periods of rain to last through Tuesday night and into Wednesday. There's no concerns about flooding; it will just be wet weather and certainly no snow," Hoeflich said. "We could have a rumble or two of thunder mainly on Wednesday evening, but it doesn't look like it will be anything too bad."
