Published July 22, 2023, 7:55 a.m. by Arrik Motley
Severe storms Monday evening across the Carolinas could bring a risk of damaging wind and hail to Charlotte and across both North Carolina and South Carolina. There is also a small risk of tornadoes and flash flooding.
On this episode of #wakeupclt To Go, meteorologist Chris Mulcahy and forecaster Larry Sprinkle have the severe weather outlook for the Charlotte metro area and beyond for Monday, June 26.
The storm threats Monday
In most of Charlotte and the surrounding portions of the Carolinas, the greatest threat from these storms is damaging wind. The WCNC Charlotte Weather Team is forecasting a medium threat for strong winds. Locations likely to see these strong winds include Charlotte, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Monroe, Gastonia, Hickory, Concord, Kannapolis, Salisbury, Statesville and Hickory. The threat is slightly lower in the western North Carolina mountains, such as Boone and Blowing Rock, because the temperature is forecast to be slightly cooler there.
"If we get sunshine for several hours and it's 90-plus degrees on Monday, we gotta be weather aware, WCNC Charlotte Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich warned in his forecast vlog, where he details and explains his forecast to subscribers of the WCNC Charlotte Weather IQ YouTube channel.
"If there's an isolated cell or two that develops into what we call supercell, then we could see some small rotation, but remember, supercells also produce big hail."
The threat of damaging winds and hail is approximately 15-to-20 percent.
The risk of damaging wind and hail rises to over 30% in North Carolina cities such as Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Cary, and Durham. #wakeupclt #Weather #Forecast
