⛈️ Severe Weather Update: Another round of strong to severe storms is possible today, but this time the threat shifts east and northeast into Eastern sections of the state. The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the severe weather risk, placing most areas east and northeast of Raleigh under a level 2/5 risk and a level 1/5 risk for the rest of Central NC to about Greensboro. Why? Well, an approaching cold front moving into the mountains will trigger showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.


Temperatures in the 80s and low 90s, with dew points in the lower 70s, should support CAPE values of 1500-2500 J/kg this afternoon and evening across parts of Central and Eastern NC. Scattered showers and thunderstorms should develop as early as lunchtime and be around through the evening from west to east, but not everyone will see rain or storms.


A couple of storms could turn strong to severe, mainly from 12-8PM across parts of Eastern and esp NE NC. The main threat is gusty to damaging straight-line winds and some small hail, but I can't with 100% confience rule out a brief tornado mainly across Eastern/NE NC in the level 2/5, but better (low chance further north and east in the level 2 and lower south in the level 2/5) because of a lower risk of storms.




The Bottom Line: A cold front is moving through the mountains, bringing a few showers as the atmosphere warms up, and showers and thunderstorms are expected east, and a few could be strong to severe. So no reason to panic, but just like Western areas saw yesterday, we should stay aware east. I'll be watching the radar and trends all day like normal. Stay tuned! We turn drier and cooler for Wednesday before our heat wave starts late week into next week.

Friday, December 3rd, 2020 forecast rain is back.

Rain returns to the forecast, but much of the day should be dry. Happy Friday, North Carolina! We're watching another cold front that rolls through the state tonight through early Saturday; rain chances will be with it. Starting this morning, we should be mostly dry through the state, but I can't rule out an isolated shower anywhere in the state. Odds are you will stay dry this morning, rain chances will slowly go up after lunch with the best chances starting in the mountains and then spreading east through the late afternoon and evening, everyone will get wet overnight with rain clearing out by Saturday morning. It will also be rather breezy through Saturday; skies will be partly to mostly cloudy today. Temperatures will be warmer for some, at least from Raleigh east today, with highs in the 50s and 60s areas to the west will be in the 40s and 50s. I have more on the rain and evening some thunderstorms mainly east expected this evening into the overnight soon, have a great day.
