Triad rain chances are limited Friday, milder North Carolina temps for Mother's Day weekend

6 days ago | wxii12.com | Brian Slocum

SOX. COME ON, CUBS ALL THE WAY, FOLKS. WE GOT SOME STORMS IN THE FORECAST. NOT MANY THOUGH. AND CERTAINLY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY, THE NUMBERS WILL BE WAY, WAY DOWN AS WELL AS THE SEVERITY IS EXPECTED TO BE DOWN TOO. WE GOT A COMFORTABLE MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND IN THE FORECAST, BUT A WET START TO NEXT WEEK AND A WARM FINISH TO NEXT WEEK TOO. I’VE GOT SOME 80 DEGREE DAYS COMING OUR WAY LATE NEXT WEEK, BUT RECAPPING THE RAIN. A LOT OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING WITH THESE STORMS COMING IN BIG TIME.
Thursday storms bring wind and large hail risk for western North Carolina

THE ISSUE. ALL RIGHT, WELL, BRIAN, WE DEFINITELY HAVE A WEATHER IMPACT DAY FOR SURE ON STORE. YEAH, BUT YOU’RE SAYING IT’S NOT GOING TO IMPACT US REALLY UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY, RIGHT? NOT THE TRIAD. I DON’T THINK STORMS REALLY START TO FLARE UP UNTIL LIKE 3:00, 4:00. FARTHER WEST. AND THEN GRADUALLY START TO EASE THEIR WAY INTO THE PIEDMONT.
Flooding is the deadliest element of North Carolina tropical cyclones: Here's how to prepare

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Brian Slocum

Hurricanes bring a lot of different dangers, most notably the ferocious winds and powerful waves. However, North Carolina hurricane history has shown us that the deadliest and most widespread threat comes from relentless rain and the flooding that follows. In fact, inland river flooding has claimed more lives in North Carolina than any other hurricane hazard.

UP THERE TOO. WEATHER’S NOT PERFECT THIS WEEKEND, BUT IT’S NOT AWFUL EITHER. WE’LL HAVE RAIN AROUND MOST DAYS THIS WEEKEND, BUT AGAIN, IT’S USUALLY JUST A QUICK PASSING SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM MAY POP UP HERE AND THERE, BUT RIGHT NOW THIS DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A WASHOUT REALLY, FOR ANYBODY. 73 FOR FRIDAY AT MAYFEST COULD SEE A FEW LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING. IT LOOKS LIKE A LINE MAY DEVELOP AND KIND OF PASS THROUGH THE AREA. NOT SEVERE THOUGH AT LEAST DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE A COOLER BREEZE.

Comfortable North Carolina weather continues this week, but rain chances increase soon

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Brian Slocum

CAROLINA. YOU GOT TO LOVE IT. ALL RIGHT. CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA. CERTAINLY. LOOKING AWFULLY NICE OUT AND ABOUT. WE HAVE TEMPERATURES AS WARM AS THE MID 70S YESTERDAY. HUMIDITY IS RELATIVELY LOW. BURLINGTON AT 78, MID 70S YESTERDAY IN LEXINGTON. DOWN IN ASHEBORO. COOL MORNINGS THOUGH. AND ONCE AGAIN WE’RE GOING TO SEE TEMPERATURES STARTING OUT IN THE 40S. FIRST THING 50 IN GREENSBORO AND 51 IN BURLINGTON. CURRENTLY THOSE ARE THE MILD LOCATIONS.
Limited Triad rain chance may include a few Monday storms

YET, BUT GOOD TO PREPARE, BRIAN. IT IS. WE’VE HAD A NUMBER OF 80 DEGREE DAYS ALREADY THIS YEAR, GUYS. NONE IN THE FORECAST THOUGH. FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, BUT IT’S A GREAT PROGRAM. YOU GOT TO GET THAT AIR MOVING WHEN IT’S HOT AND STIFLING OUTSIDE. 74 DEGREES. HARDLY THAT. YESTERDAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. TEMPERATURES ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND THE AIR IS DRIED OUT.
North Carolina severe storm risk is climbing, high weekend rain chance

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Brian Slocum

EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE WORKING WITH. YEAH, IT’S JUST KIND OF AN UNSETTLED PATTERN WE’RE MOVING INTO. I WILL SAY THAT CHANCES FOR WET WEATHER ARE NOT TERRIBLY HIGH. I THINK WE MIGHT SEE A SHOWER OR 2 OR 3 POP UP HERE AND THERE, BUT YOU HAVE LONG GAPS IN BETWEEN THE RAIN COMING IN FOR THE GAME TONIGHT. 635 FIRST PITCH. PETE’S GOT A LONG DAY AHEAD OF HIM. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTHWEST WINDS AT 10 TO 15. I THINK THE MEANS THE WIND IS BLOWING OUT TO LEFT TEMPERATURE AROUND 81 DEGREES.
North Carolina rain chances are rising for the first weekend in May

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Brian Slocum

Summer heat will sometimes drive summer thunderstorms. Some communities received several inches of much-needed rain on Wednesday from scattered slow-moving thunderstorms. This unstable, wetter weather pattern will continue over the next few days. Some days will be wetter than others. The WXII 12 First Warning Weather Team is tracking a slow-moving storm system that will bring occasional rain and storms to North Carolina and Virginia through the weekend.

MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET SOME WET WEATHER COMING OUR WAY. TO START WITH YOUR HEADLINES. CERTAINLY FEELING LIKE SUMMER. YESTERDAY WAS THE WARMEST DAY WE’VE SEEN SINCE EARLIER IN THE MONTH. IRONICALLY, IN THE FINAL DAY OF THE MONTH, AFTERNOON STORMS WILL BE PREVALENT THIS WEEK AND NOW LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME PERIODS OF WEEKEND RAIN AGAIN. STILL A FORECAST IN PROGRESS. TRYING TO NAIL DOWN WHEN SO YOU CAN PLAN AROUND THIS TEMPERATURES MID 80S.
