Possible Severe Weather: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 | Eastern North Carolina Now

News Release:

    Good evening all:

    We just got this updated graphic, but I thought you would like to see both the written version and the translated version. The severe weather they are talking about includes the possibility of tornadoes hence this information is provided to you. The best time frame we can give for the onset is from 1:00pm through midnight. High winds are those reaching sixty miles per hour and large hail is anything over pea size. Power outages should be expected in the paths of these storms. Vivid cloud to ground lightning will be possible during these storms. Heat index is expected to climb above 100 degrees tomorrow afternoon.

    "CLUSTERS OF INTENSE CONVECTION ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP THROUGH PEAK HEATING ON D2/TUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ENH AREA INVOF THE WIND-SHIFT AXIS AND REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...AND INVOF A CAROLINAS-PIEDMONT-AREA LEE TROUGH. SVR WIND/HAIL -- PERHAPS LOCALLY SIGNIFICANT -- MAY OCCUR WITH THIS ACTIVITY...AND SOME TORNADO RISK CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH ANY MORE DISCRETE CONVECTION INTERACTING WITH RESIDUAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION ACROSS THE ENH AREA IS LIMITED OWING TO THE INFLUENCE OF EARLY-PERIOD CONVECTION/CONVECTIVE DEBRIS FOR WHICH UNCERTAINTY IS LARGE. HOWEVER...THERMODYNAMIC/KINEMATIC PROFILES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR CORRIDORS OF ENH POTENTIAL IN THE ENH AREA...AND NO SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE ENH AREA DELINEATION AT this time."

    Here is the lay-persons version:

Please use the appropriate care when traveling, responding or working outside tomorrow. Remember that every County Government cell phone should have Hyper-Reach registration so they get weather updates. We can’t help people if we don’t arrive safely. Please remain “Weather Aware” tomorrow!
