February 21, 2014

Central NC Forecast for Friday February 21, 2014 and the Threat of Severe Weather.

A cold front will swing through NC tomorrow bringing with it a chance for isolated severe thunderstorms. 

The front should move through the foothills by around daybreak, Raleigh by midday, reaching the coast by late Friday afternoon. In the meantime, winds will be gusty from the S and SW ahead of the front. Due to the anticipated midday arrival of the front to central NC along with the lack of major instability, widespread severe weather is not expected. Chances are better east of Highway 1.

Individual severe storms cannot be ruled out as winds around 1000 ft will be blowing upwards of 50 mph. It would not take much for an individual storm or line of storms to send these winds down to the ground. 

Given that the ground is fairly saturated, do not be surprised to see some weakened trees down.

tl;dr: Windy tomorrow with thunderstorms moving through NC.
