Weather looking good today for the early afternoon as we will be seeing the typical hot 'n humid NC weather in Wake and surrounding counties. Thunderstorms still possible into the late afternoon and evening hours today as convective lifting will be causing a good amount of instability in the mid troposphere.



If you'll notice today there is a lot of different shades of pink on the map. In the southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, that lighter shade of pink is indicating a severe thunderstorm watch meaning that conditions are right to produce a monster thunderstorm capable of producing hail, heavy downpours, and wind gusts in excess of 58 mph.

Out in the west we notice darker shades of pink and red. These are indicating heat/excessive heat warnings and more Red Flag Alerts indicating wildfires are on the loose.

Blobs of storms are also moving through the New England states this afternoon as we can see below on the radar image. If you live in this region, be careful of flash flooding which is likely to occur with the amount of rain the ground is receiving.
