Alexander County Public Safety received reports of a tornado in the Hiddenite/Stony Point area around 11:45 a.m. Emergency service crews are conducting a preliminary assessment. There have been no reports of injuries or property damage, but plenty of trees are down, according to the Alexander County Public Information Office.
A tornado was reported near Statesville, according to the National Weather Service.
Here’s what to expect today:
- First Alert: Remnants of Fred blow through
- Flash Flood risk in heavy downpours

With clouds and rain in the forecast, high temperatures will run on the cool side, topping out I the lower 80s for most Piedmont neighborhoods. Highs near 70 degrees are forecast for the mountains, where a flash flood watch remains posted.

The greatest risk for flooding and severe weather – including a couple of isolated tornadoes – will come this afternoon and evening as the decaying tropical system drifts northeast.
Heavy downpours and the severe weather risk will continue tonight before tapering down overnight as lows drop back into the lower 70s.
Starting Wednesday – and lingering right through the upcoming weekend – we’ll settle back into a more typical late-Summer pattern of isolated, mainly afternoon and evening thunderstorms with higher heat and humidity courtesy of the Bermuda High. Upper 80s are forecast Wednesday afternoon before we rise to near 90 degrees Thursday through Sunday.
