Key Threats Damaging Winds, Tornadoes, and Flooding
The primary concerns with these severe storms are damaging winds and the potential for embedded tornadoes. Additionally, heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches could lead to localized flooding, particularly in low-lying areas. FOX Carolina’s meteorologists emphasize the importance of staying alert and having multiple ways to receive weather alerts. The approaching storm will move away during mid-morning to produce breezy weather conditions afterward. Additional information about severe weather preparedness exists at the National Weather Service website.
What to Expect After the Storms Clear
The Carolinas will get dry and a mild period after the storm system exits. The region will experience lower temperatures during Monday that will start in the 50s and rise to the 60s then reach the 70s by Tuesday. The unusual heat wave will stay through most of the week to offer relief from the dangerous weather conditions. People need to stay alert because springtime climate in this region contains unpredictable weather patterns. Available information about Carolinas climate trends can be found at NOAA’s Climate.gov.
Prospective safety measures for confronting severe weather conditions
To stay safe during these severe storms, ensure you have multiple ways to receive alerts, such as the FOX Carolina First Alert Weather App and NOAA Weather Radio. It is essential to protect outdoor objects that could fly like projectiles in high winds and residents should avoid moving through the storm area whenever possible. Head to a strong building for protection whenever you receive a tornado warning by choosing basement or indoor areas with no windows. Internet users can find extra safety information at Ready.gov.
