Tor warned storm out in western NC .....rotation would have been near Valdese....kind of broad but its a seriously rough storm...
I've been watching this and weather channel on tv all morning. Unless I missed it every thing so far has been rain wrapped.
That tornadic cell in western NC is going to go right into Hickory....
Just lost the feed!
Not liking the looks of the nam across central and eastern NC tomorrow night.
What's it looking like today for tonight?
The problem is we probably wont know how much energy is left over for the main "front" to work with until later today into this evening. The overall setup is bad, the low level jet will be screaming at 50-90 knts that is high enough that any tornado's that form could easily be EF2-4 versus the usual weaker stuff we see here in NC. They would also be more likely to be long lives ( which in tornado terms means more than a few miles ) again assuming that any happen at all.
The atmosphere is primed tonight especially between 10 pm and 4am and any storms that do form will likely rotate, and any storm that rotates will likely produce a tornado, and any tornado produced will likely be on the stronger side....so its kind of wait and see. Tonight is a great example of why every single house should have a NOAA weather radio.
Is there not an app we can get on our phones?
I’m going to sleep like a baby.......if it’s my time to go......so be it!
yep you don't hardly ever hear them say, well there's an 80% chance of sun today. It's always a 20% chance of rain.No offense but do weather guys always talk about the worst that can happen?

Just yanking you guys chain, but it's getting silly with the named winter storms and such. Weather drama is all it is, not weather "news" but rather weather entertainment.Well they tend to go worse case as its better to be ready versus being surprised....in a lot of ways social media has pushed this as people get really vocal when the weather is worse they thought it was going to be or claim they were not warned etc...then also I mean what is there to really talk about when the weather is like today, its wonderful and also uneventful....I mean they are not going to issue a warning and be like watch out tomorrow is going to be sunny and mild with no rain....they do tend to focus on when the weather will be making a bigger impact on your actual activities etc. Like if you plan on holding a event outside on Friday and are using say tents or bouncy houses for kids etc your gonna be in trouble and getting the word out that Friday is probably going to be a windy day even without the storms and stuff is a good idea and useful information to have.
In their defense if they dont mention the rain and it rains people hammer them for it.....or the public gets upset when it rains when there was "only" a 20% chance because most people do not understand how that 20% is derived.....they go well it rained at my house so there should have been a 100% chance of rain. People dont care that weather people are right 95% of the time they just hammer them for the 5% they miss.
I like to call it weather porn.
