Here is a closer look at that Matthews gas line fire. This video was sent to us by a neighbor. This is right after it started. You can see both trucks from the contracting company on fire. Firefighters say this started when crews hit a natural gas line while drilling to place new power poles. It was extinguished when crews closed the pipe with a hydraulic press. More on @wsoctv at 5 and 6.

Here are our Key Messages for Monday (3/16).

[Ed Piotrowski @EdPiotrowski]

SEVERE WEATHER THREAT MONDAY
(UPDATE SATURDAY 5 PM)

You know I’ll always shoot straight with you and never hype or sensationalize anything. So when I tell you to pay attention to the weather Monday, I really mean it.

A powerful cold front, strong upper-level winds, and plenty of storm fuel are likely to combine and produce scattered to widespread severe storms on Monday. The entire area is currently under a Level 3 (Enhanced) risk out of 5, but the Storm Prediction Center believes part of the Pee Dee and Border Belt into central North Carolina could be upgraded to a Level 4 (Moderate) risk in their next update Sunday.

In a setup like this, we could initially see individual rotating storms (supercells) develop from late morning through mid-afternoon. These isolated storms can produce strong tornadoes. After those move through, an intense line of storms (Squall Line) along the cold front may sweep across the area late in the afternoon, bringing the potential for damaging straight-line winds and a few tornadoes.

1. Is this a slam dunk? Still no. Cloud cover could limit the available storm fuel, and the front could move through earlier than expected, reducing the threat. However, the chances of that happening are lower than they were this morning. Just know that if we see sunshine on Monday, that’s bad news because it increases the amount of storm fuel available, leading to more intense storms and greater tornado potential.

2. Even in higher-end severe weather setups, many people never see severe weather. That’s good news. However, Monday is one of those days where if you do see severe weather, it could be very bad. That’s why it’s important to stay weather-aware. Have multiple way to get warnings Monday by downloading our Weather Authority app now. Search “WPDEWX” in your app store.

I'll have another update on Sunday.

No escape. One minute you are driving along, then boom.

I have to give props to someone who went through all of this to help explain what to do if you fall through ice.

I learned something. I didn’t quite know all of this. Is it just me? Does everyone know this? He must be sooooo cold!!

The potential for a rare and notable snow event continues for this weekend with increasing confidence in accumulation. Much of the area can expect to see some snow, but confidence remains highest along the SC-NC border.
