Severe thunderstorm warning issued for northeastern Guilford County, Greensboro area
Northeastern Guilford County and parts of Greensboro faced outages, hail and flooding risk as a slow storm hit, with Onslow Drive already showing fresh damage.
A severe thunderstorm warning covered northeastern Guilford County and parts of Greensboro Monday, with the slow-moving storm raising the threat of high winds, hail, heavy rain and power outages as it crossed the area. The warning came as repeated rounds of storms kept the risk of both wind damage and flooded streets in play for Guilford County residents.
The National Weather Service in Raleigh also had a flash flood warning active for parts of Guilford County earlier in the day, underscoring that the storm threat was not limited to wind and hail. Forecasters said the slow movement could squeeze more rain out of the same neighborhoods, increasing the chance of lightning, ponding on roads and disrupted commutes in Greensboro and nearby communities.
The practical fallout was already visible across the Piedmont Triad. Hundreds of homes lost power early Sunday after severe storms brought down trees and caused wind damage, and some Guilford County neighborhoods were still cleaning up fallen limbs and damaged lines as another round of weather moved through. In Greensboro, visible storm damage remained on Onslow Drive, where residents were clearing debris around their homes after the severe weather.
The storm damage added another strain for households and businesses already dealing with the cost of cleanup and lost electricity. Power outages can knock out refrigeration, point-of-sale systems and internet service, while downed trees and broken lines can delay morning traffic, block neighborhood streets and add to repair bills for property owners.
Guilford County has faced similar weather-related disruptions before. In January 2026, the county issued a state of emergency ahead of a forecast winter storm that brought down power lines and trees and left outages scattered across the county. Monday’s severe thunderstorm warning again put northeastern Guilford County and Greensboro in the path of fast-moving weather that could leave immediate damage long after the strongest storms passed.
