Instability

First off, unfortunately, the AP is now reporting that 13 people have lost their lives with the tornadoes in Alabama.

For us, our airmass remains pretty stable in the Piedmont of North Carolina. However, dewpoints in the 60s are steadily marching northward from southern South Carolian and Georgia.

Our severe weather threat tonight will all depend on the amount of instability available. If we get dewpoints up into the lower 60s in the News 14 Carolina viewing areas, then severe weather will be a possibility tonight. It is simply a wait and see matter.

Keep it tuned to News 14 Carolina for weather updates through the evening and night. I am the evening and overnight meteorologist for the Triad News 14 Carolina market, and Jeff Crum is my counterpart for the Charlotte market.
