Severe Weather Expected Today: June 5, 2016 | Eastern NC Now

News Release:

    Good Morning:

    Just in case someone has not been made aware of the possible severe weather issues for Sunday from 2:00 pm through 2:00 am Monday morning this is your awareness update. It has been our policy to send you notification of possible severe weather when it reaches the Enhanced Level, or higher, as predicted by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center (SPC). Please insure that you notify myself, Curtis, or Lisa of ground damages as soon as it is safe to do so. If you observe trees on power lines or trees across highways, as examples only, then please notify 911 of the exact location and nature of the problem so they can dispatch the appropriate assistance.
    Please take the necessary family protection actions that you see as appropriate for your family. Such as, reminding everyone in the house of the safe room to gather into if a tornado approaches and the items to take into the room with them, as examples: pets and/or prescription medications.

    I have included the SPC model for what the different categories of thunderstorms mean on the NWS attached weather map. Please be safe out there as these storms could have some damaging winds and hail associated with them, combined with wind gust of sixty mile per hour plus.
