The Triangle will see periods of heavy rain and flooding Tuesday through Friday. On Monday, Gov. Roy Cooper declared a State of Emergency ahead of the expected impact.

NEW: Extreme flood risk is in effect Thursday, according to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center. "Extreme" risks are responsible for 39% of flood-related fatalities and 83% of flood-related damages.
