    Good Afternoon,

    We would like to draw your attention to an increasing severe weather threat tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. While a few showers and storms are possible through the early morning hours, it is the severe potential with afternoon and evening storms that we are most concerned with.

    Widespread showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of a cold front sagging south into the area through the afternoon/evening. The strongest storms will bring the potential for strong/damaging wind gusts, with some large hail possible as well. The overall threat is pretty similar across eastern NC, with storms initially developing across the Albemarle Sound region and inner Coastal Plain, spreading south and eastward through the afternoon and evening.

    The primary message that we are pushing at this point is for people to remain weather aware and have multiple ways to receive a warning. We will send another briefing tomorrow morning.

    As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
