Another active day ahead for our Sunday!

⛈️ Storm Update: Here we go again, another active afternoon and evening is expected across parts of the state. A cold front will approach the region from the north later today. This, along with increasing CAPE (Convective available potential energy) to over 2,000 J/kg, will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms developing.


We should have an unstable lapse rate, meaning the rate at which atmospheric temperature decreases with increasing altitude, this afternoon and evening. Gusty winds and downbursts would be the main threat; a couple of storms could be strong to severe across the state.


As with the last few days, not everyone will see storms, but the ones that do develop will be strong to severe with gusty to damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and lots of lightning being the main threats.


The timing will be mainly after lunch into the late evening. I've attached the future radar. Don't take it literally; it just gives you an idea of the scattered storms in nature. I'll pass along updates.

Forecast Friday, June 24th, 2022: A Typical Late June day ahead not too humid either

A typical late June day ahead with slightly lower humidity. Happy Friday, North Carolina! High pressure will be in control of our weather; the passage of the cold front did allow for a little lower humidity. Partly to mostly sunny skies will give way to higher in the mid/upper 80s and low 90s statewide. I can't rule out an isolated thunderstorm, but the vast majority of the state will be dry. We need rain, but I don't see widespread soaking rain anytime soon.
