Afternoon storms with scattered Severe!

The atmosphere is very unstable so afternoon showers and thunderstorms are likely today. Some will be severe and will likely produce damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes. Stay tuned to weather outlets for watches and/or warnings this afternoon.

We will see more tranquil weather the next few days and then summer heat and humidity will return Thursday!

All for now!

Yep there is slight risk of severe weather across eastern North Carolina is possible..Main threat from these thunderstorms are large hail and damaging winds..Heavy rains are also possible and lightnings..

Here is Forecast Discussion from SPC:
"...MID ATLANTIC STATES...
WHILE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL GENERALLY REMAIN WEAK...COMBINATION OF MDT
INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPES AOA 2000 J/KG AND COOL LAPSE RATES WILL
SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH AS
FAR S AS SC. STORM MODE GIVEN WEAK LOW LEVEL SHEAR SHOULD GENERALLY
BE MULTICELLULAR WITH HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND THREAT PARTICULARLY
GIVEN EXPECTED STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES."
