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 June 19th.

The last official day of spring will be baking! Happy Thursday, North Carolina! Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected for the most part today. An isolated am shower or storm cannot be ruled out, but most will stay dry until mid-afternoon. Highs will soar into the 90s for most areas, with cooler temps in the mountains. Heat index values will reach the low 100s in spots, so take it easy. We will watch for scattered to isolated storms and showers that will develop late this afternoon and into the late evening across the state. There is a limited severe weather threat in the area; any storms that develop could have gusty to damaging winds and heavy rainfall. As usual, I'll pass along some updates.
