Saturday Evening...

Big severe weather outbreak will unfold this evening from portions of the southern Plains through the Tennessee Valley, Lower Mississippi Valley, and Deep South.

Around here, we might see a couple of shower or storms late tonight, but the big show will be tomorrow.

Some of the latest modeling has come in with a more significant severe weather potential for North Carolina than some of the previous runs. It will all depends on how the drier airmass (which is punching into the state now) interacts and moves as the area of rain and storms moves in tomorrow morning.

At this point, I expect a round of rain and storms to sweep through tomorrow morning. Some of those storms could be severe. We might catch a break around early afternoon before another potential round of showers and storms moves in later in the day.

I do think we have the potential for some severe weather. How great that potential is will depend on how several small scale feature set up tomorrow morning.

In short....keep those NOAA weather radios handy and active tomorrow...and we will be staffed and keeping you up to speed as need be on News 14 Carolina.

Saturday morning...

Whew....dragging a bit this morning. Got in bed at 4am Friday morning and 2am this morning. Up and going this morning....gotta head to coach my two oldest daughters' t-ball game at 9am.

A quick note...while I haven't looked at all of the parameters yet, there could be a big outbreak of severe weather over the Lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley, and Deep South this afternoon and tonight.

The big question is will we have severe weather here tomorrow. Most modeling is insisting that we will have a in-situ wedge in place as the precip moves in tomorrow morning. If that is the case, severe weather will be limited. But will this occur? That is the question I will try to resolve when I get in to work this afternoon...

Severe thunderstorm watch has been posted for much of the Piedmont this evening...some active storms near the mountains are the main reason for this watch issuance. Other isolated storms have developed at times through the Piedmont.

Keep it tuned to News 14 Carolina for all of the latest....
