But unfortunately its not going to look this way from tomorrow morning through early tomorrow evening. Its light rain right now along 95 from nash and edge come county toward the virginia border. Things are generally dry for most of central North Carolina but its cloudy and chilly. Its a completely different story for friends down in mississippi, louisiana, on into parts of alabama, theyre getting the worst of the weather tonight. Heavy rain as you can see. But lets turn off the radar warnings they have. So red, current tornado warnings. Yellow, thunderstorm warnings. And green, flood warnings. We could have automaker of those in our all of those in our area tomorrow. Over the past 24 hours its looking more and more likely that Severe Weather will happen. Kind of a different winter storm than were used to in february. Temperatures behind me have dropped throughout the day. Topping out in the 40s today. Thats kind of where most of us are stuck right now. 45 in raleigh. Around 50 in the sand hills. Tonight is one of those nights where temperatures arent going to cool off more. Theyre going to go up as a warm front in passes through. So youll notice as we go hour by hour from 46 at 8 00. Well pop up to about 48 at midnight on our way to 50 degrees tomorrow morning. Fog is probably going to be a problem tomorrow morning. And while its going to be dry, generally tonight, with just small chances of rain, rain commute. Im not worried about Severe Weather for the morning commute. Get toward lunch time, and early in the afternoon that we could see that Severe Weather. And outside of the storms and possible tornadoes we might have, its going to be a really windy day. So tomorrow between 9 00 a. M. And mid night, we could see gusts up to 45 Miles Per Hour. And thats why all of central North Carolina is under a wind advisory. Its going to be really warm. Its going to be windy. And then were going to have storms. Well have to watch out for stronger winds and tornadoes. And thats a lot in just one day of weather. Right . So it all starts tonight. This warm front that was a cold front then a stationery front now a warm front is going to head back to the north. Our atmosphere. Its going to pump in warm moist air and its going to put a charge into the atmosphere that would allow this area of low pressure to come rolling through tomorrow and produce some strong storms. To happen. We start off tonight late. Weather. Theres the morning commute. Rain yes. But no severe storms. Alyssa will be here tomorrow morning. Check in with her at 4 30. Then as we get toward late morning, thats when well have the line back to the west. Still a little rain around here. But its this line that approaches closer to lunch time ahead of the cold front thats going to cause problems and this is the one thats going to produce thunder and lightning with heavy rain. Its going to produce wind gusts maybe higher than 50 Miles Per Hour. And it could produce an isolated tornado. Most of it gone by 4 00. Still a little bit of rain left over. And then i think well be able to sound the all clear by 7 00 or 8 00. The cold front moves through. Wipes the atmosphere clean for us. We start fresh thursday with dry weather, sunny skies, but also colder temperatures. Its going to be 70 tomorrow. But it will not be that later this week. So for one of the few times of the year, and im talking one, two, three times a year, the National Weather service puts us in the enhanced risk. So normally were marginal, maybe sometimes slight, but we jumped up a category. And i any the worst times for this Severe Weather between 10 00 and 6 00. So in the whole big scheme of things, theres kind of three different categories that progress as we wait on Severe Weather. And right now were kind of at the lower level. The outlook and advisory level. So were telling you hey, this is possible tomorrow. I wouldnt be surprised tomorrow morning if some of us go under a watch where were now saying okay, guess what, now things are favorable. The atmosphere is favorable. Its time to get ready. When were scrolling across the bottom of the screenings or you get an alert on the app, when theres a warning, thats when its time to take action. All in all a warm but wet day. You can see good chancings of rain all day. But the storminess in and around lunch time. After a wet, warm, and windy day tomorrow, things calm down. Cooler. But still windy thursday. And then chilly on friday with a high of 48. We start to rebound this weekend from 49 saturday up to and then well top out around 60 by early next week. With a couple showers back in the forecast. But wow the last wednesday of february. Which is what tomorrow is. Its going to be a busy one. Have your phone or ipad.
