All eyes are on our severe weather possibilities today. Please see this morning's video for lots of information.

With the thickness values we have in place, it will only take some peeks of sunshine to pop our temperatures up into the low 70s today. And based on the satellite images (I am doing this update prior to daybreak), I think we will see that. Dewpoints are in the 50s, and they should gradually climb today. If we can get dewpoints into the lower 60s and temperatures into the lower 70s, then severe weather will likely be a problem. The Storm Prediction Center has places all of the Carolinas in a 'slight' risk for severe weather today.

The main time-frame for this event looks to be this afternoon, possibly into early evening. Damaging winds will likely be the biggest concern, but isolated tornadoes will be possible if we do indeed see a little sun this morning. Some small hail also looks possible.

I will be on the air on News 14 Carolina this afternoon for the Charlotte and Triad regions. Have a reliable way of hearing weather watches and warnings today if you are away from the TV, and keep it tuned to News 14 Carolina for all of the very latest weather information.
