GREENSBORO, N.C. — Guilford County Schools will not have any after-school activities or athletics Friday because of a severe weather threat across the Triad. The district said ACES will remain open.
Alamance-Burlington Schools also canceled after-school activities including athletics, driver education and special events.
The WFMY News 2 weather team is tracking a threat of severe storms, which could include tornadoes, high winds and hail. It's moving our way for the afternoon and evening hours to finish off the week. Here's what you need to know.
You can see the current risk level from the Storm Prediction Center below. Currently, our area is in a Level 3 out of 5 risk for severe storms, which was upgraded this morning from yesterday.
We're looking at a few lines of showers and storms. The main area of rain and storms will move through in the afternoon and evening.
Along that line of storms, it's possible that some could rotate because we have some twisting winds in the atmosphere on Friday.
So, we'll keep an eye on possible damaging wind gusts, but also the risk of a few tornadoes today. Some hail would also be possible with any storms that form. Flash flooding isn't really a concern because of how quickly storms will be moving by.
The WFMY News 2 Weather Team urges you to have a plan. The best thing to do is make sure you and your family have a severe weather plan ahead of time. Know where your safe spot is in your home but also at your workplace or anywhere else you'd be throughout that time.
