* SERIOUS severe storm POTENTIAL on Monday *

The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has placed the area in a level 3 out of 5 risk zone for severe storms on Monday, which is an unusually high level for our region this many days in advance. The exact timing of storms is still to be determined but any time between early afternoon and around sunset is possible. The storms should move through rather quickly but could pack a dangerous punch.

An unusually intense cold front will be passing through and storms along and ahead of it could produce damaging wind gusts, hail and even tornadoes.

As is often the case with potential thunderstorm events, exactly how widespread severe storms are and the places that will get hit hardest are difficult to pinpoint. There’s some possibility the storms don’t reach their potential if clouds and cool air linger on Monday, reducing available energy.

The Weather Service is urging residents carefully monitor forecasts and be prepared for a significant outbreak of severe weather.

♻️ Smarter #wastemanagement in action ♻️ NC State transitioned away from using red #biohazard bags but before tossing them-contact EHS! Our Biosafety team is helping labs rehome extra bags. That means reducing plastic waste, saving costs, and keeping them out of a landfill!

I’ve declared a State of Emergency as North Carolinians brace for winter weather this weekend. The State Emergency Response Team is already working to make sure resources are in place to keep folks safe.

Now is the time to be prepared and get everything you need in advance of the storm. The roads may be slick and dangerous. Unless absolutely necessary, make a plan to stay home until the weather improves.

RT NCSUfmo: Always use barbecue grills outside, away from all doors, windows, vents, and other building openings. Grills can produce carbon monoxide (CO) gas. Never use grills inside the home or the garage, even if the doors are open. #firesafety #safety…
