Trying to put this into perspective.
Heavy rain... some minor flooding on I95 in NC South of Raleigh.
So take your time, watch out, pay attn to warnings.
Goldsboro NC area had a Tornado Warning.


Another one was just posted for Kinston NC.
Pretty much the WHOLE region is under a Tornado Watch now.
A funnel cloud down near Lumbertown NC.

Yellow Watch. Red Warning.


NOTE... do NOT think it's over if the sun comes out.
Just gonna warm things up and make things worse fast.

This is a 2 part weather event.
Winds coming in from S.... 
Then system comes thru from W... 

Double Dangers.

Down to the South... Florida has it's own problems.

Vero Beach


Funnel Cloud that didn't touch down by I-95


Watch the line moving up the East Coast.

Dangerous looking water vapor loop above.
Low winding up ... tornado like tail signalling dangerous weather brewing.
No not coffee.... possible tornadoes today.
High winds.
3 people died yesterday in tornadoes.
Mike says shows this graphically below.



For a change I'm directly under the gun.
Raleigh has a tendency to be on the left or right of the danger zone.
Strong risk across South Florida as well.
If you are driving North from FL to NJ today on I-95
Pay attention to your weather app

The front is crossing through South Florida.

If you live inside the shaded area below.
Check that site often. Put in your zip code.
It's that easy.

Pretty much the whole East Coast.


That's a whole lot of territory under the gun...
...one way or the other for some sort of weather.

Winter weather in the Mid West.
Spring like weather along the East Coast and the South.



This annoying commercial plays on youtube nonstop these days.
A democrat donkey and a republican elephant look apathetic.
They tell you .."you can't deal with something by ignoring it"
So true with regard to the weather.

When you are in the Danger Zone...
...you need to know what to look for and how to protect yourself.
