Severe weather in midweek caused cancellation of several outdoor sporting events. Cedar Ridge and Orange both cancelled soccer and tennis matches scheduled for Aug. 27. None of them have been rescheduled, yet.
Wednesday, funnel clouds were reported in northern Chatham County and eastern Alamance County, as were strong storms in Orange County. There were no reports of significant damage before 4 p.m.
Some school parking lots in Orange were flooded Wednesday, and Highway 62 in neighboring Alamance was closed to traffic briefly because of flooding across the road near Burlington Municipal Airport.
