It was with her abc News New York and here home we have two meteorologists working to figure out how that same system will impact our area and try to check in now with crack to find out exactly watching the developments throughout the morning really this is a well advertised or may she who we are talking about this for the past few days knowing that the stage was kind of being set up and that everything was coming together. Its gonna be interesting going to be watching for potential strong storms through the afternoon and there is of course that threat for Severe Weather now were definitely watching that threat for Severe Weather as we head into the evening and into the nighttime hours not really p keating as we head throughout the day so thats something that you want to watch closely but well talk about some of the starr report what happened with the system in just a little bit that were going to focus on the impacts will talk about this certainly gusty winds and there is potential for isolated tornadoes so why shes been watching the actual storm impacts are reports coming in well hear more from her the moment right now on to tell you the fall we saw yesterday morning thats thats gone temperatures have shot up right now are sitting at seventy degrees at norfolk international. It is windy out there and the temperatures in the low seventies and then falling off as we go in the evening back down to the sixties there will be chances for we head to the evening now not everybodys gonna see Severe Weather is going to be centers of rain that come through but the potential is there for isolated strong or severe storms and we should see a watch going up as we get into the early afternoon and most likely into the evening as well so were going to be bracing to cover the wet weather and the Stormy Weather for it through the afternoon into the evening as the front approaches and eventually pushes through chapters are really surging right now upper sixties to low seventies you see the rain on the lens here with our sky views matter of fact i you can hit that dlc but in real quick just clear the softening in a good look at the downtown area thank you for doing that again light showers right now the roads are damp you want to be careful but were not looking any Severe Weather locally. South winds are picking up twenty two mph its been a very rough morning weather wise across the Florida Panhandle there we had that tornado in pensacola and outbreaks in asia will fill us in on across parts of the south but i do want to talk about across our area showers pushing through and instead the rain out to the west we knew the tornado watch is already in place to the southwest of our viewing area and thats going to continue through the afternoon and will continue to watch a couple had the cells here a new Tornado Warning down to the south you can see this one this is south of fayetteville and this is going to continue moving off to the northeast so going to continue to watch that when we have another sell out here north of charlotte and hickory is actually the cell right there that they had a warning on as well. Lets information shes been looking at some of the storm impacts already i add my keys and credit has been a busy morning across the south than weve had several wind damage reports across the south pushing into florida also georgia and then snow on the backside of the system where it is much colder. So lets if we could take those graphics full because i want to show you some of the reports that weve guy and i end with this particular system and this is actually max two and youll in a little bit here and there was a tornado reported and is again max to either was a tornado reported in southern georgia and this was in grady county. I had about two forty nine early in the morning and then even we even had some funnel cloud reports across palm beach city and so again this system has been producing tornadoes that have been producing damaging wind does not mean that what weve seen and the south is exactly what were going to see here but definitely something that were watching and then there was a Tornado Warning that was in effect just south of fayetteville that one so far just produce a funnel cloud so no confirmed reports of tornadoes just yet with that particular storm but as we had throughout the afternoon were going to continue to watch these closely crime or a donation here is the latest on that Tornado Warning in the one that was to the south of fayetteville you can see it runs until twelve forty five its moving off to the lives of the town of maybe up towards garland to radar signature and not a confirmed touchdown there heres a future cast to what we expected the afternoon showers are going to fill an order to see some isolated heavier cells you take a look at whats going on out to the west here to receive are greater chances for some of the stronger storms through the afternoon and then into the evening a few more isolated cells potentially and that will continue into the evening. These are not mass of cells but potentially they could spin up and produce some twenty years so were watching for this is by just means there is an elevated risk more so than we typically have the good news is once this line moves to want to see drier air moving in overnight and big improvements as we head to the weekend more sunshine id say heres a Severe Weather outlook for today the latest from the Storm Prediction Center again this is a graphic that we dont generate here we take this information from Noaa National Weather Service are strong Prediction Center and this is a group of experts has to be whether the try to pinpoint where the greatest to emporia along i ninety five and at a North Carolina that would appear to be the greatest threat of severe storms with the chances for tornadoes out that way. Here we have the enhanced threat again likely will see a tornado watch going up a little bit later into the afternoon were expecting that again enhance risk across our area so were certainly going to be watching carefully temperatures this morning low seventies as we head to the overnight forty seven the low tomorrow we will enjoy a little more sunshine it can be a stray shower left over but i dont wanna see much there i think we will see partly sunny skies and improvements as we head to the weekend cooler friday and saturday upper forties back in the upper fifties on sunday and monday low sixties with partly sunny skies so you can see theres some light at the end of that always need to get through the next say twelve hours or so twelve to the nsa eighteen hours and then things re
