Storm threats lessening in North Carolina into the weekend

6 days ago | wxii12.com | Lanie Pope

WE WANTED TO LET THAT STINGER BREATHE A LITTLE BIT SO YOU COULD GET THAT EXTRA LIGHTNING AND THUNDER IN THE BACKGROUND THERE, AS IF WE DIDN’T HEAR ENOUGH OF IT ALREADY TONIGHT. THAT HAIL LAINEY IS UNREAL. YEAH, I KNOW WE DON’T USUALLY SEE HAIL THAT LARGE ACROSS OUR AREA, SO SOME PING PONG BALL SIZE HAIL, SOME HAIL THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS IN WILKES COUNTY WAS HIT HARD. YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK THERE AND SEE THE HEAVY RAINS THAT CAME THROUGH AS WELL.

AREN’T HERE QUITE YET BUT ARE MOVING THIS WAY. YEAH THEY ARE. IN FACT, YOU LOOK AT OUR CAMERA RIGHT NOW IN WINSTON-SALEM, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE THE SKIES GO FROM MOSTLY SUNNY TO REALLY TURNING GRAY. WE SIT WITH IT LONG ENOUGH. THESE STORMS ARE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. SO OUT OF WILKES AND YADKIN COUNTY NOW MOVING INTO THE WESTERN PART OF FORSYTH COUNTY. SO WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THE CLOUDS THICKEN.

THING. AND GELATO TOO, RIGHT? DOESN’T MATTER. YEAH, AS LONG AS IT’S SWEET. YOU KNOW, WE DID HAVE A DAY TODAY THAT WAS STILL A BIT COOL IN THE MORNING, BUT IN THE AFTERNOON IT WARMED UP SOME INTO THE UPPER 70S. ALSO NOTICED A CHANGE WITH THE SKY COVER. RIGHT. WE START OUT SUNNY AND THEN THE CLOUDS STARTED TO COME IN. WE DO HAVE A WEATHER IMPACT DAY FOR YOU TOMORROW. IT’S LATE DAY AND THAT IS FOR A FEW STORMS THAT WILL MOVE IN IN THE EVENING. CONTINUING INTO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.

ALL RIGHT. LET’S TURN OUR ATTENTION NOW TO THE FORECAST. MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, JUST ABOUT IN THE BOOKS. IT’S BEEN GREAT SO FAR. IMPORTANT CAVEATS SO FAR. WHAT DO WE HAVE COMING FOR MOTHER’S DAY? WE NEED IT TO BE A NICE WEEKEND. LAINEY, I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE YOU SUNSHINE AND 75. WE HAD THAT THOUGH THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, RIGHT? SO THE ODDS ARE AGAINST US. TAKE A LOOK OUT THERE AND YOU WILL SEE OVER MOCKSVILLE GRAY SKIES. WE STARTED OFF SUNNY. STILL A REALLY PLEASANT DAY OUT THERE.
Dry Wednesday in North Carlina, rain and storm risk Thursday

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Lanie Pope

THINGS I’D RATHER BE DOING RIGHT. I JUST LIKE TO BE OUTDOORS WHEN IT’S LIKE THIS. LIKE YOU SAID THOUGH, IT IS A LITTLE COOL IN THE MORNING, SO SOME LIGHT LAYERS AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING AS THE TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING PRETTY QUICKLY. WE HAD SOME SUNSHINE OUT THERE TODAY. IT WAS A PRETTY PERFECT AFTERNOON, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE, LOW HUMIDITY. YES, SAN DIEGO, BUT IT’S HERE IN THE TRIAD. WE ARE GOING TO WARM UP SOME THOUGH NOT GET TERRIBLY HUMID, BUT IT WILL APPROACH 80 DEGREES.

GOOD ADVICE. THANK YOU JEFF. ALL RIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FORECAST NOW. I LOVE IT WHEN WE USE THIS GRAPHIC BECAUSE IT MEANS LAINEY IS HAVING A PRETTY RELAXED NIGHT. CODE WORD SUNSHINE. LADY GAGA. THAT’S MY FAVORITE WORD. WE HAVE A LOT OF SUNSHINE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. LOOKS LIKE IT WILL FADE AWAY A LITTLE BIT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE REST OF THIS WEEK. YOU’RE LOOKING AT DOWNTOWN MOUNT AIRY.
Comfortable week in North Carolina with rain chances late week

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Lanie Pope

WE HAD SOME NICE WEATHER TO START OFF THE WEEK. ABSOLUTELY. YOU COULD HAVE LUNCH OR DINNER OUTSIDE TODAY, MAYBE EVEN TOMORROW TOO. ALL RIGHT. LANEY? YEAH, I THINK TOMORROW IS A GO AS WELL. WE’VE GOT A REAL PLEASANT FORECAST FOR YOU. IT WAS NICE OUT THERE TODAY. BREEZES WERE COMFORTABLE. WE HAD SOME SUNSHINE. WE HAD TEMPERATURES THAT WERE IN THE 70S AND LOW HUMIDITY. IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO HANG AROUND FOR AT LEAST A WHILE. THAT LESS HUMID AIR, COMFORTABLE TEMPS FOR MOST OF THE WEEK NOW.
Comfortable and dry for most of this week, rain chance late week

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Lanie Pope

TO UPPER 80S, IF NOT WARMER. NOW. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF TODAY? I THINK IT WAS GREAT. OKAY, A LITTLE BIT OF HUMIDITY WON’T HURT ANYONE. DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK. MAYBE ANYONE IS TOO BROAD. I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS ENJOYING TODAY BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURES WERE EITHER AT OR JUST BELOW NORMAL. WE DID HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE ACROSS THE AREA, AND YES, SOME LESS HUMID AIR IN PLACE WHEN YOU CONSIDER WE COULD BE A WHOLE LOT MUGGIER THAN WE ARE. BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKIES OUT THERE.
Scattered storms develop late Saturday, some possibly severe

1 week ago | wxii12.com | Lanie Pope

YEAH, RIGHT. YOU’RE READY. ALL RIGHT. THAT’S ALL WE’VE GOT IN THE FORECAST. HEAT AND STORMS. WE HAVE TO WAIT IT OUT BEFORE WE GET SOME COOLER AIR. I DO THINK WE’LL HAVE SOME 70S FOR HIGHS BACK ON OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST, BUT IN THE SHORT TERM IT IS GOING TO STAY KIND OF MUGGY ACROSS THE AREA. WE DID GET SOME SUNSHINE EARLY, BUT THEN YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE THE DARK CLOUDS AND SOME OF THOSE CLOUDS PRODUCING SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS. YOU CAN SEE THEM THERE ACROSS THE REGION.
Severe risk tonight and late day Saturday in North Carolina

ALL RIGHT, SO TBD WHAT THE WEATHER IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN LOUISVILLE. FRANKLY, TBD WITH THE WEATHER IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR US HERE THIS WEEKEND. KIND OF AN UNSETTLED PATTERN. ALL RIGHT. WHAT CAN WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE OUT OF THE WEEKEND, YOU THINK? LAINEY. YEAH, I DO THINK THERE WILL BE TIMES WHERE THE SUN WILL BE PEEKING THROUGH. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND, AND MOSTLY IT WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON SATURDAY.
