Storm Chance Late Friday Night?


We'll enjoy pleasant and mild weather Thursday afternoon into the day Friday, but storms may be brewing for Friday night. A front moving toward North Carolina may help to produce severe storms across the southeast Friday afternoon that will move east into the Carolinas Friday evening and Friday night. Those storms may not arrive in our area until the overnight hours into early Saturday morning. Right now we just expect a "slight risk" of severe weather.
Here is this morning's hazardous weather outlook from the National Weather Service in Raleigh:
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

A STORM SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST LATE FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BRING A RISK OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS. AT THIS TIME... IT APPEARS THAT THE GREATESTTHREAT WITH ANY STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS... AND WOULD OCCUR PRIMARILY BETWEEN 8 PM FRIDAY EVENING AND 5 AM SATURDAY MORNING.

PEOPLE IN THE AREA SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
