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 Wednesday Dec 14th

Yup, the sunshine is gone, and the clouds are back for everyone. Happy Wednesday, North Carolina! A strong cold front will approach the state Thursday, but ahead of it, an area of low pressure will bring clouds and periods of rain. Scattered showers are possible today across the west, becoming more widespread by afternoon and evening. The best chance of rain will be west of Greensboro, but a few passing showers are possible east. All areas will see rain overnight it will spread from west to east, and some rain could be heavy at times. I expect mostly cloudy skies today; highs will be cooler in the 40s for Central and Western NC 50s east.
