Today’s forecast highlight is the opportunity for scattered showers and storms, some of which might be strong to severe.

Some weakening showers or storms will remain possible this morning, but the biggest threat for severe weather will come this afternoon as new showers and storms fire. The greatest threat in the mountains will likely be early to mid afternoon, with the piedmont areas seeing the great threat mid-afternoon into very early this evening.

Damaging winds will be the primary severe weather risk. However, there is enough wind energy in play with this system that a couple of brief tornadoes are possible along with some hail.

All severe weather threats should be over for our portion of the piedmont by 8-9 p.m.

Quiet weather returns tomorrow.
