Sorry about the delay. I was going to post last night but I wound up falling asleep. Fortunately, Central NC will most likely dodge a bullet this afternoon and evening. A warm front is being pushed northward by a slow-moving eastward-bound cold front. As a result of the temperature gradient being caused there is a high possibility for windy conditions later in the afternoon. The coast on the other hand (Wilmington and Carolina Beach, SC coast, and GA coast) are under a tornado watch for the next few hours. Stay tuned into your local weather stations for further updated information.
A week ago Saturday (March 30th) Central NC experienced the first, and likely not the last, tornado of the year. An EF-0 tornado moved through Johnson and Wake counties, causing damage to roofs and signs as well as felling trees. Thankfully no one was injured. This tornado was a reminder of the April 2011 tornadoes which moved through Central NC causing devastation with damages amounting to over $300 million, 304 injured, and 24 killed. I pray we don't have another outbreak like this for a while.
Just in - there is a tornado warning in SE Georgia and a severe thunderstorm warning for the surrounding area. More specifically: Coffee county reported the tornado warning and Atkinson and Jeff Davis Counties are under a sever thunderstorm warning. If you are in this area or east of this area, or know someone who meets this criteria, please take cover or warn your friends or loved ones to do so!
