Several meteorologists are warning of strong to severe storms expected on Wednesday across various areas, including North Carolina and western NC. The storms may bring hail, strong winds, and isolated tornadoes. The main window for these storms is projected to be late morning through the afternoon, with the severe weather threat diminishing as the cold front moves through.
A line of rain and storms is forming in the Foothills and moving east. This is the cold front. There is a risk that some could produce a few severe wind gusts - and we'll continue to watch a low tornado threat until they pass. Arriving in Triad between 1-2pm. Clear by 3. https://t.co/MKUbSq43eI
10:54 am ET: Clear from severe, but the cold front has yet to move through. So, we still have a risk for a narrow line of thunderstorms along the front between now and 2pm. The wind will be getting very gusty behind the front. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/RaF11bj9TI
The widespread rain from earlier is long gone from western NC, but until the cold front swings through early this afternoon, some widely scattered showers and storms are possible. The severe weather threat is low as the best wind energy has already exited to the east. #ncwx https://t.co/mBHJMjxd3n
8:15 a.m. - We expect new storms to form in NC, moving SW to NE. Anything that moves into areas south of US 460 will have the potential to become severe between 10a & 2p. Scattered storms will be west of that, but ingredients aren't favorable for damaging storms there. https://t.co/ucNOGtHcHY
We remain on track for a strong line of showers and storms ahead of a front on Wednesday. Winds, hail, and an isolated tornado are all possible. The main window will be late morning through the afternoon with rain clearing by the evening. @fox35orlando https://t.co/ZHOfQn5NFn
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY: The final batch of showers & storms crosses our area Wednesday afternoon. Some of the storms will have hail, strong winds, & an isolated tornado. Fortunately, highest tornado risk is just southeast of our area, but we'll watch closely. https://t.co/eqfrOMh5Wg
