Severe Thunderstorms
Dang, what a day today! Started off partly overcast, but by 1 it was pouring. First t'storm of the year. Everything was flooded, the rain didn't stop for another 4 hours. It looks like summer wants to begin really early, right on winter's heels.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 1:12 PM EST on March 22, 2005
... There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms tonight across
central North Carolina tonight...
A warm front over the deep south will lift north this
afternoon... moving across central North Carolina during the
overnight hours. The front is expected to stall near and along
the North Carolina... Virginia state border... as an area of low
pressure tracks east along the boundary. The air mass
over central North Carolina will become increasing unstable tonight.
This in combination with strong winds aloft... will result in the
development of thunderstorms. A few storms could become
severe storms... with isolated tornadoes possible. The best chance of
severe weather will be after 9 pm tonight... mainly south and east
of a line from Albemarle... Siler City... to Roxboro.
Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards weather radio and other local media
for further details or updates.
Skywarn activation may be needed overnight.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 8:25 PM EST on March 22, 2005
... There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms Wednesday across
central North Carolina...
With thunderstorms remaining well south over Florida and south
Georgia early tonight... the threat of severe thunderstorms has
diminished for the night over central North Carolina.
However... the threat of severe thunderstorms remains for the
Piedmont... sandhills... and coastal plain of central North Carolina
during the daytime on Wednesday.
A boundary between mild and more humid air to the southeast and
cooler air to the northwest is expected to linger over central North
Carolina. A low pressure system and cold front will track east
through the Tennessee Valley tonight and across the southern
Appalachians around daybreak Wednesday. Just ahead of this
system... the air will become very unstable. The combination of
unstable air and shifting winds in the lower levels will result in
scattered thunderstorms with rotating updrafts. A few of these storms
may become severe... with large hail and the potential for an isolated
tornado. The period of greatest threat from severe weather will be
from about 10 am in the morning to about 4 PM in the afternoon.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for further
details or updates.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:20 AM EST on March 23, 2005
... There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across
all of central North Carolina today...
A warm front south of central North Carolina will lift north during
the day. Most of central North Carolina will remain in the cooler air
this morning. However a few thunderstorms are possible this morning
with the potential for an isolated severe storm or two. Meanwhile a
low pressure system will track northeast into the Ohio Valley today
with a trailing cold front to track east across central North
Carolina later this morning into the afternoon.
As the front approaches... the air will become very unstable. The
combination of unstable air and shifting winds in the lower levels
will result in scattered thunderstorms. A few of these storms
may become severe... with large hail and the potential for an isolated
tornado. The period of greatest threat from severe weather will be
from the late morning to about 4 PM this afternoon.
Spotter network activation maybe needed from around noon through 4pm
today.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for further
details or updates.
Another statement will be issued around noon today.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 11:11 AM EST on March 23, 2005
... There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across
much of central North Carolina today...
A low pressure system will drag a cold front across central North
Carolina this afternoon. The air mass ahead of this front is warm and
unstable. Some afternoon heating is expected as overcast skies are
forecast to break for some afternoon sunshine. Thus there is a threat
for isolated penny hail or wind gusts approaching 55 mph... mainly
from mid afternoon into the early evening. The primary threat area
will mainly be near and east of a line from Albemarle northeast to
Burlington.
Spotter network activation maybe needed from around noon through the
early evening hours.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:19 AM EST on March 26, 2005
... Severe weather possible late Sunday and Monday across central
North Carolina...
A powerful upper level storm system will approach the state from the
west late Sunday through Monday. Meanwhile... the airmass over central
North Carolina will become increasingly unstable as a warm frontal
boundary lifts north across the area. The combination of unstable air
and strong... shifting winds aloft will result in scattered
thunderstorms late Sunday through Monday. Some of these storms could
become severe... with damaging winds... hail... and possibly isolated
tornadoes.
There is some uncertainty of the timing and eventual location of
the warm frontal boundary as it lifts north into the state. Given
the Holiday weekend and numerous outdoor activities... residents
should stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for
further details and updates.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 5:18 AM EST on March 28, 2005
... Severe storms are possible over much of central North Carolina
today...
A strong low pressure system over Tennessee will move eastward across
North Carolina today... moving along a warm front extending from
around Charlotte northeast to around Kerr Lake. As the low pressure
moves through... it will drag a cold front and an upper level
disturbance through the state this afternoon through this evening.
A line of scattered thunderstorms will March eastward across central
and eastern sections of the state through mid morning. These storms
will have the potential to produce small hail and strong wind gusts
in excess of 40 mph through 10 am. Due to the shifting winds in the
lower levels of the atmosphere near the warm front bisecting the
area... an isolated weak tornado could occur this morning.
Then this afternoon... as the surface warms up and cold air aloft
moves over the area... the atmosphere will become unstable... and
another line of thunderstorms is expected to develop. As this line
moves toward the east-northeast this afternoon... storms will again
be capable of producing hail and strong gusty winds... although this
time the hail could be the size of pennies or larger... and wind
gusts may exceed 55 mph.
The area of greatest threat for severe storms later today will be
over the sandhills and eastern Piedmont eastward through the coastal
plain... including the Highway 1 and I-95 corridors... to the coast.
This area includes the Triangle area... Fayetteville... Rocky
Mount... Goldsboro... and Roanoke Rapids. The time of greatest risk
will be between noon and 6 PM.
County emergency managers and storm spotter networks should keep
informed of the latest statements and forecasts throughout the day.
Stay tuned to NOAA weather and all hazards radio and other local
media for further details or updates.
