Radar looks like VA is going to get it and we're iffy - but my wife got the below alert this morning and thought I'd pass it along.


Eastern NC continues to be under the threat for severe thunderstorms today. A slight risk

(2 of 5) is in effect for all of ENC, though we are concerned that an Enhanced Risk of severe storms may evolve across parts of ENC later this afternoon into early evening.

KEY MESSAGES

· Some sub-severe showers and storms will move through late morning into early afternoon, with a potential break after that.
· Later afternoon into early evening, severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind gusts of 60 to 75 mph, large hail, and a few tornadoes are possible.
· This is an evolving weather event, so stay tuned for changes in threat severity and/or locations impacted.

If you have any questions or need any additional information, please let us know!

Regards,

NWS Morehead City

Its nice in Frisco! 23 mph winds and clocked 27 mph within the last hour and I have to open the screen door with two hands, but really sunny! I prefer wind! We raised the boat on the lift higher and took down flags, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I re painted Adirondack chairs this morning before it got too windy.

Nothing wild to report here. A decent thunderstorm rolled through. Radar looked like Carova had a more interesting evening.

Oh gosh! My dog will be under the bed! We have this huge bed that came with this house with a great dog door at the foot of the bed. She busts in there to hide during thunder storms. I have to literally jump up to get on the bed. Tons of room for her to hide! Haha!

We're about 2 minutes south of the fire in Four Seasons. Glad to hear no one was hurt in that one - prayers to the families in KDH.
