Elizabeth Gardner Hiccups During Weather Report :: WRAL.com

LOVELY GRAY PICTURE WE HAVE GOT USED TO. IT’S TRUE. BUT AT LEAST IT IS DRY, ALTHOUGH IT IS COOL. WEATHERER ELIZABETH GARDNER WITH THE CALM START TO OUR WEEKEND. BUT THEN WE GET UNPLEASANT WEATHER. KYLE. MY GOD. WHAT A WEEKEND IT WILL BE. WE WILL START WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. >> AND FINALLY FEEL VERY LIKE WINTER FOR ONE HUNDRED TUESDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. I HAVE THE HICCUPS I NEVER REMEMBER HAVING THE HICCUPS ON THE AIR. IS THE BEAR WITH ME? WE WILL PASS ON TO THIS. OK, CLOUDY SKY. MID 1940s IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH. WE WILL CONTINUE OUR LIVE CAMERA NETWORK TOUR IN CHAPEL HILL WITH CLOUDY SKIES AND COOL WEATHER FOR JURIES UP TO 40 DEGREES. I KNOW THIS WILL CHECK RIGHT HIT BILL. WE ARE SEEING A CLOUDY SKY AND 46 DEGREES. WE CHECK OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR VIEW. WE HAVE THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY DEVELOPING HERE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. SO WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF HUMIDITY AVAILABLE. WE WILL HAVE HEAVY RAIN WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS PASSING TOMORROW MORNING. WE ALSO HAVE A WESTWARDS RETURN FRONT. THIS WILL HELP BRING IN THE COLD AIR AND REALLY GIVE US THE ELEVATION WE NEED TO SEE THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY. WE WILL SEE THIS WARM FRONT RISE TO THE NORTH. A FEW SHOWERS BEFORE THE WARM FRONT, BUT JUST RAIN. THIS IS WHAT WE WILL SEE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AND OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE 2 FRONTS MEET. HERE IS THE COLD FRONT WITH SOME SNOW OVER MUCH OF THE COUNTRY. EVEN THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS ARE EXPECTED TO RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT SNOW. THE WARM FRONT IS RISING NORTH AND DELIVERING A VERY JUICY UNSTABLE AIR MASS FOR US THIS IS WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. IT IS 5 AM AND YOU CAN SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO SHOW THE YELLOWS AND ORANGES. OF COURSE WILL BE WHERE THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE AND THEN A LINE DEVELOPS BETWEEN 6 AND 7 AM AS THIS FRONT MOVES AND GIVE US REALLY SOME LEFTS THE LINE DEFINED THERE IS WHERE WE ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE WIND DAMAGE POTENTIALLY TREES ON HOUSES. ISOLATED TORNADOES AND HAIL MAY BE SEEED IN THIS LINE. BUT THIS LINE IS REALLY BEGINNING TO FORM JUST IN OUR FAR EAST COUNTIES GETTING CLOSER TO THE COAST THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO WILMINGTON OR THE COAST, THE MORE RISK OF WIND DAMAGE YOU WILL HAVE. ONCE WE HAVE ARRIVED AT LUNCH TIME, EVERYTHING IS OVER AND OVER. WE WILL SEE INCREASED SUN BUT WIND FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND IT WILL BE VERY COLD SUNDAY MORNING. THIS IS A LOOK AT WHAT WE NEED TO SEE SOME OF THESE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS OUR HUMIDITY CHECKLIST. A LOT OF IT COMING FROM THE GULF. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF LIFT WITH OUR COLD FRONT WILL PASS WITH SOME WIND SHEAR, WHICH IS THE TURNING IN THE ATMOSPHERE WE NEED FOR TORNADOES. BUT THE ENERGY INVOLVED IN PRODUCING THESE VERY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE PRODUCED TORNADOES WILL ALL BE CLOSER TO THE COAST. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE REALLY GREEN SHADED AREA ALONG THE COAST, EVEN AT 6 AM ON SATURDAY. AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS JUST SUCH WEAK ENERGY. SO THIS COULD MEAN WE ARE NOT SEEING A LOT OF WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY FROM I-95 WESTERN. BUT FROM I-95 EAST WE WILL DEFINITELY ENTER THIS BETTER POTENTIAL TO SEE SOME OF THESE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS WITH THESE TORNADOES. OF COURSE, WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT OUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST FOR SATURDAY AS NOT ONLY WILL WE START WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, BUT WE WILL FINISH VERY COOL IN THE AFTERNOON AFTER NOON. WE DROP IT IN THE 40S AND VERY RAPIDLY INTO THE 20S. WE WILL SEE 21 DEGREES IN THE TRIANGLE AREA AND THE LAST TIME WE SAW A 21 DEGREE MORNING IN MARCH WAS IN 2015 WHICH 21 IS ONE DEGREE FROM RECORD OF 20, THE RECORD OF THIS DATE. SO NEAR RECORD WITH SOME TEENAGERS IN TERMS OF WIND CHILLS THEN SUNDAY WILL GET COOL. WE RETURN TO DAYTIME THEN WE RETURN TO SPRING WEATHER NEXT WEEK. BRIAN, THESE STRAWBERRY TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY MORNING. ENOUGH TO SCARE YOU
