.DISCUSSION...

...Heads up for severe storms Thursday...

Mainly dry through Wednesday then unsettled weather 
expected for Thursday into Friday. Storms Thursday
may contain damaging winds. Even the general winds 
will be gusty as a cold front crosses the region
Thursday. We are also be tracking what will likely 
be the first named tropical storm of the season 
that is expected to move across the southeast states
Thursday into Friday. Some of this moisture may
impact our North Carolina Counties but it appears 
the bulk of the moisture will remain south of our
local region at the present time.
