LONG RANGE SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK:
– Storm Prediction Center issues their categorical severe weather outlooks for day 1 – day 3. On days 4 – 8 they give a probability of severe weather. When they have high enough confidence to do this, severe weather is likely somewhere in the highlighted area. On day 4, which is Monday, there is a 15% probability for severe weather across the Piedmont.
– What does all that mean? Severe weather is possible on Monday as of Friday afternoon. A lot can change so we will watch closely.
Have a wonderful weekend!
