Washout morning. An afternoon break but still scattered rain and storms will be on and off through the afternoon. More widespread rain tonight and less tomorrow. @wcnc https://t.co/HA2EeK7BkG

A hail outbreak like yesterday is on brand. 30% of all of all the large hail that falls in the Carolinas falls in the Month of May! @wcnc https://t.co/3So36k2lr3

33 official hail reports reports in the Carolinas. An inch in diameter hail stone is severe... Golf ball size is a guaranteed insurance claim. @wcnc https://t.co/etJXj3U54m

Looking ahead. The rain cooled air brings us back into the 60s Monday but we have our first real shot at 90 next Friday. The warmest so far is 88. Our average first 90 degree high in Charlotte is May 20th so this would be on par. @wcnc https://t.co/k7TM835ATn

THE NEXT WEATHER STORY: Widespread rain is likely on Monday and Tuesday! Up to 2-4 inches of rain will range across the area! @wcnc This is good news for our drought but it could lead to local flooding. Standby. https://t.co/ZkWNqQBmiH

NOTE: Rain continues later this evening and overnight. This will bring more heavy rain and potentially another line of thunderstorms. Last Saturday night there was a spin up tornado after midnight. There is an outside chance this does the same. @wcnc https://t.co/CTF9hxyb3E

A significant hail threat means hail stones can reach 1-2" in diameter. That is up to golf ball to hen egg sized hail. Hail cores and microburst are especially favorable NW of Charlotte in the Foothills. @wcnc https://t.co/eMdM29jm2l

This weekend is still a big QUESTION MARK! How fast this system moves is the difference maker for Mother's Day! Right now Sunday night to Monday morning rain moves in. Either Monday or Tuesday (or both) could become a washout. Regardless. A wet and cloudy start next week. @wcnc https://t.co/lEYsSEy3Fd

Strong thunderstorms are possible Thursday evening. Starting for the Foothills and a line of heavy rain and storms could sweep across our area 6PM to midnight. Low instability and shear but a front could still drive up some storms up to severe status. @wcnc https://t.co/baopDEuc0y

This Rain chance graphic is for all of you TYPE A personalities out there! @wcnc https://t.co/McCrBt6vLz

It was a special moment when @_MajesticStorm got to meet @larrywcnc! #ncwx #scwx https://t.co/tZ0h91hsiJ

Next best chance for thunderstorms is Thursday afternoon. Trending chance for a strong thunderstorm but a lot still needs to line up. So Pending Weather Alert Day. If this comes to fruition. Expect heavy rain, isolated hail and gusty winds as late afternoon threats. @wcnc https://t.co/ws3gpA8hgh

Feeling pleasant the next few days. It will start feeling sticky/humid again by Friday. So enjoy the crisp air while we have it! @wcnc https://t.co/pq1jTmQVFy

Rain totals could add up to 1-2" of rain on Saturday alone! Drier by Sunday again. @wcnc https://t.co/NwabHbmNDf

Isolated storms possible starting in the mid afternoon. Highest to the west. Strongest storms in the Mountains. @wcnc https://t.co/3Iohjx9oZE

Stay #WeatherAlert on Saturday. Chance for scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon and then widespread rain during the evening and overnight. A lot going on this Saturday so stay aware and dress/plan accordingly! @wcnc https://t.co/M9IRlpBAF3

Some of the warmest days of the year so far are today and tomorrow. Feeling more humid/sticky as well. @wcnc https://t.co/C2yfxTSykC
