Special Weather Statement

Statement as of 12:00 PM EDT on April 11, 2004

...There Is A Slight Risk Of Severe Thunderstorms This Afternoon And Evening Over The Southern Portion Of Central North Carolina...

The risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon is mainly across the sandhills and southern coastal plain. As thunderstorms develop this afternoon and evening some storms could produce severe hail of around 1 inch in diameter.

This pattern will remain nearly stationary over the eastern and southern portions of North Carolina for the next couple of days. Upper level disturbances moving over the area will combine with a surface Boundary and abundant moisture to enhance showers and thunderstorms over the region. Central and eastern North Carolina will continue to experience a threat of severe weather each day through Tuesday.

The spotter network may need to be activated this afternoon and evening.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for further details or updates.

There will be a threat of severe thunderstorms both Monday and Tuesday mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Abundant moisture will combine with a very strong upper level disturbance slowly approaching from the west. Locations along and east of U.S. 1 will have the best chance for severe weather Monday. On Tuesday all of central North Carolina including the northwest Piedmont will see a chance for severe thunderstorm development. Large hail... strong winds and even isolated tornadoes will be possible both late Monday and again on Tuesday.

Due to the potential for a severe weather outbreak over the next few days... emergency management officials and local storm spotter groups should monitor the forecasts and statements closely.
