Severe weather alerts are issued for the Carolinas and Georgia as storms start developing, with high winds reported in certain counties. The risk of severe storms increases if the sun comes out, with isolated storms already racing northeast. Showers and snow showers are expected in different areas throughout the day.
4pm - Showers near Charlotte are heading east. A few will move through inland areas (especially the Border Belt) between 5pm-8pm. After that skies clear. #scwx #Ncwx https://t.co/hzfabvDVGC
3:55pm ET: The cold air aloft is leading to some isolated showers out there as the colder air moves in. They won't last long, but be ready for a quick shower. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/FvMlPgTPlo
All good for now; blustery & gusty however. Mid afternoon should see some showers in the mountains. Way up in elevation, I wouldn't be surprised to get reports of a few quick snow showers. We'll get some rain in CLT close to 5'ish. #wncwx #cltwx #avlwx #boonewx #hkwyx https://t.co/cZJ9uM6JFZ
7:57 pm ET: High winds in Iredell and Cabarrus counties. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/Xs8LROL7Ea
4:47 pm: First isolated storms developing and racing northeast at 35-40 mph. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/SN3Z0Fsrke
3:31 PM ET: Clouds are keeping us safe right now, but clearing and sunshine for just a few hours before sunset could trigger a few isolated severe storms. The main risk will be north and east of Charlotte. Very isolated risk. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/Dcg1clGLKb
Storms are beginning to fire up in the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. The best chance for a strong to severe thunderstorm later this afternoon will be across the Charlotte Metro area and east of the I-77 corridor. #scwx #ncwx #gawx https://t.co/S7W0gwl88Z
A few showers at this hour moving across the region. So far, per radar, nothing showing signs of getting "attitude". A few more hours to go. Winds are blustery. #wncwx #avlwx #boonewx #cltwx #hkywx https://t.co/Ojl7lxPEoo
12:00pm: Lots of shear in place. The only question is instability; if the sun comes out by mid-afternoon, watch out! We don't want the sun to come out ahead of this line of broken storms. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/CWr1FcNML8
