GREENSBORO, N.C. — Severe storms aren't a guarantee, but there is a chance that some rough weather could move into the Piedmont tonight. The WFMY News 2 weather team is tracking it for you.
A backdoor cold front moved across the area this morning and set up a wedge of cooler air. That's helped us out so far today.
At the same time, a very strong storm system will be moving our way from the west. This system brings a threat of severe weather across Tennessee, Georgia, and into the Carolinas tonight
Severe storms aren't a guarantee for us. It will depend on if the cool air hangs on, or, if the warm / muggy air moves in. If we do warm up, a few severe storms are possible. We'll need to watch for damaging winds and big hail if so, with a low tornado threat too.
TIMELINE:
- 7pm - 12am Saturday: Best chance for a few thunderstorms. Some could be severe during this time
- 12am - 4am Sunday: Any storms or rain coming to an end.
WHERE IS THE THREAT?
All of the Piedmont needs to be on the lookout for a few possible severe storms tonight but they aren't guaranteed. The better chance though will be in the southwest part of the state.
