Calmer times ahead....

A detailed look at the science behind our severe weather outbreak Sunday afternoon and evening, plus a look at what's ahead....



An outbreak of tornadic thunderstorms roared through the Carolinas into central Virginia Sunday evening. Lots of damage reports have come in, especially around High Point and portions of Davidson county as well. Belmont in Gaston county also received some pretty significant damage from an apparent tornado from the first storm of the event.

Please see the video above for a look at what made this system tick....

Our News 14 Carolina news crews are gathering information this morning and will provide much more information on this severe weather event as the day unfolds today. The NWS will conduct storm surveys today, but I anticipate much of the damage was in fact due to tornadoes.

As today unfolds, we will likely see additional scattered showers and a few storms develop this afternoon. Any storms that manage to develop could produce some hail due to very cold temperatures aloft.

Tomorrow will be the first in a series of dry weather days. I expect 60s for highs tomorrow with breezy conditions. By Wednesday, highs will warm into the 70s. How about mid 80s for Thursday-Saturday....all with a sunny sky.

Clouds will increase for Easter Sunday, but I have left the forecast dry for the time being.

I meant to post this earlier...showed this video on the air this morning. Video of a tornado just on the Davidson county side of the Davidson/ Rowan county line...along I-85.
