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 July 29th, Friday, 2022: Hot and humid surprise with storms possible

A hot and humid day ahead shocker, very hot, especially Central and Eastern NC. Happy Friday, North Carolina! I expect partly to mostly sunny skies, and highs will soar again into the low 90s west and mid and upper 90s for Central and Eastern parts of the state. Heat Index values up to 109° for Central and Eastern NC, take it easy again today. I expect storms to build this afternoon and evening; they will be hit or miss and could produce heavy rain and gusty winds. A slightly cooler airmass will move in for the weekend, but active weather is expected this weekend.
