Areas bordering central North Carolina under severe thunderstorm watch
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — With the risk of severe thunderstorms in central North Carolina Sunday, a severe thunderstorm watch was issued for areas north, east and south of central N.C. The National Weather Service initially issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the southeastern areas of North Carolina, but then expanded that to cover more of the east and southeast. 'Clusters of storms will move east-northeastward across eastern North Carolina this afternoon,' the watch said, noting 65 mph wind gusts are possible along with 1-inch hail. Then, at 2:40 p.m., the weather service expanded the severe thunderstorm watch northward to include all of eastern North Carolina until 10 p.m. Sunday. RELATED: Interactive weather radar 'Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon, with mostly a damaging wind/some hail risk across far southern Virginia and northeast North Carolina,' forecasters said in the watch. Areas east of Edgecombe, Wilson, Wayne, and Sampson counties are in the watch area. To the north, Northampton County is in the severe thunderstorm watch along with Virginia counties along the border west to Danville. Essentially, central North Carolina is nearly encircled by the severe thunderstorm watch. RELATED: Interactive weather radar A severe thunderstorm watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area, the weather service said. Residents should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes.

Hundreds of athletes participate in IRONMAN 70.3 in western Mass.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – More than 1,500 athletes spent the day on Sunday braving some changes to the third annual IRONMAN Triathlon in western Massachusetts. IRONMAN 70.3 is a race made up of swimming, cycling, and running for hundreds of athletes from all over the world to get a chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars for themselves and local organizations in the city. Race organizers brought it back to western Massachusetts for the third year. Holyoke hosts first Paper Festival, celebrating the city's history and culture 'The community here is incredible, so supportive,' said IRONMAN Foundation Executive Director Audra Tassone. 'It's a beautiful place and everybody is just so welcoming, and we're so excited to be back.' IRONMAN was supposed to start at 6:00 a.m., but the rain on Saturday led to the swimming portion being cancelled. The water levels in the Connecticut River were too high and were moving too fast, so as a pre-caution, the race started 40 minutes later with the cyclists from Riverfront Park. However, that didn't stop family, friends, and fans from lining up to cheer for the participants. The race went through Springfield, Agawam, Southwick, Westfield, West Springfield, and parts of Connecticut. It ended with a run through Forest Park. Some families said they were just excited to be there for the first time. 'It's just really exciting that he can do this while we're preparing to welcome our first child,' said Jenelle Janssen of Beverly. 'And it's a cool way for him to stay active while our life is about to change.' Another family traveled from Connecticut to see their loved one compete once again. 'This is my fifth IRONMAN spectating, because my wife is racing,' said Oye Oworu of Connecticut. 'We did Tremblant last year. We did this one, the inaugural one, she's been out to Utah, California, Maine.' The race ended with qualifying slots to the 2025 IRONMAN World Championship in Spain. It would be a new place for the Oworus to visit. 'We turn these things into vacation,' Oworu said. 'So it will be a vacation for me and another race for her.' WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.
