Slight Risk of SVR T-storms for Central NC Today

Special Weather Statement

Statement as of 11:01 AM EDT on May 28, 2005

... Slight risk of severe thunderstorms across central North Carolina
this afternoon and evening...

A cold front will drift across central North Carolina this afternoon
accompanied by a low pressure trough and strengthening winds in
the upper atmosphere. Combined with afternoon heating... this will
likely develop thunderstorms later this afternoon and into the
early evening hours. In addition to the danger of lightning
strikes posed by any thunderstorm... a few of these storms may grow
to severe intensity... causing damaging downburst winds. Large
hail will also pose a threat.

While thunder will be possible across all areas of central
North Carolina... it appears the greatest risk for severe storms
will be along and east of Interstate 95 or east of a line
extending from Ellerbe... Southern Pines... Smithfield...
Louisburg... to Roanoke Rapids. The time of greatest threat of
severe thunderstorms will be from about 300 PM this afternoon
until 800 PM this evening.

With many outdoor activities planned during this Memorial weekend...
don't wait until you see the first lightning flash before heading to
safety. Instead... move indoors at the first sign of threatening
skies or the first sound of thunder. Make sure that lightning is
well away from your location before resuming outdoor activity.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or the local media for later
updates. Eight NOAA Weather Radio transmitters now serve central
North Carolina with continuous weather information and emergency
severe weather warning notification.
