.DISCUSSION...
...Heads up for severe storms Thursday...
Dry today then unsettled weather
expected for Thursday into early 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.
