Two Men Charged With Committing Multiple Thefts From Storage Units In Gastonia

Our first weekend of spring is coming to a close, but it won’t go out with a whimper. Heavy showers and storms pooled around the Metro and southward, bringing a healthy dose of rain and small hail to the Charlotte area this morning. Another round of storms arrives later this Sunday evening and will last into the early morning hours on Monday. A few of these could be strong (and loud), but the overall severe risk will be low. Lows end up on the mild and muggy side again tonight in the 50s and 60s. A passing cold front will sweep the majority of the moisture out of our region by the afternoon on Monday, but a few stray showers are possible in the afternoon.
