Severe Weather Possibilities...

Today will be a warm and dry one here in the Piedmont with highs up into the lower 70s.

Meanwhile, a significant outbreak of severe weather looks likely off to our west in parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky today and tonight. In fact, as I am typing this, the SPC has put out a 'high' risk of severe weather over parts of Arkansas and northwest Misssissippi, including the Memphis area of Tennessee. Tornadoes will be a big threat in those areas this afternoon and tonight, and there will probably be a good bit of damaging wind as well.

The timing of the storm system for our area continues to gradually slow down, and I now think we will see most of our shower and thunderstorm activity tomorrow during the afternoon hours. That will mean our atmosphere has more time to become unstable, and therefore, I am concerned about severe weather potential. The SPC has all of the Carolinas in a 'slight' risk area for severe weather tomorrow.

It looks like damaging winds will be the main threat, but a few isolated tornadoes will be possible as well. Keep it tuned to News 14 Carolina for all of your weather information.

Please see the video for lots of good information.

I also need to note that is looks like we will see a big blast of colder air in here Sunday and Monday of next week...we will talk about that more with time.

That's it for now. I am off today, but I might post some more information if time allows this evening. And I will definitely have more information about our severe weather potential as we get into tomorrow. Stay tuned!
