The threat of flash flooding returned to North Carolina on Thursday, only days after Tropical Depression Chantal dumped heavy rain across the central part of the state, flooding homes and highways and leading to dozens of rescues.

However, locally higher amounts of rainfall, between 2 inches and more than 5 inches, could be possible anywhere in central North Carolina. Areas including and west of Alamance, Chatham, Lee, Moore, and Hoke counties have a slightly greater chance of receiving that higher precipitation.

The former Raleigh firefighter had been selling cocaine, methamphetamine, and LSD every other week for at least a year before his arrest, prosecutors said.

Officials warn that sweeping federal cuts to Medicaid, food aid and clean energy programs could unravel key safety nets across the state.
