NOT GOING TO SEE ANY WILDLIFE ON OUR CAMERAS THIS MORNING? THAT’S WINSTON-SALEM. YOU CAN TELL THE FOG IS REALLY THICKENING UP AND SETTLING IN ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. IT’S 51 IN WINSTON RIGHT NOW. WE’VE GOT AN EAST SOUTHEASTERLY BREEZE AT ABOUT SIX MILES PER HOUR. WINSTON EASTWARD. THAT’S WHERE THE FOG IS. MOST DENSE. VISIBILITY IS REDUCED TO ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE IN A COUPLE PLACES AROUND THE PIEDMONT. SO KEEP IN MIND HERE, OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS, WE WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MIST, DRIZZLE, LOW CLOUDS, AND FOG TOO, SO THAT CAN MAKE IT A BIT OF A SLOW GO THIS MORNING. IF YOU’VE GOT SOME EARLY SATURDAY PLANS THE REST OF THE DAY WE’RE JUST LEFT. MOSTLY CLOUDY. THERE COULD BE A COUPLE PEEKS OF SUN LATER THIS AFTERNOON. IT WILL GET BREEZY AS WELL. THAT WILL BUMP TEMPERATURES UP INTO THE LOW 70S, BUT OVERALL A FAIRLY CLOUDY DAY. SOME MIST AND DRIZZLE POSSIBLE AT TIMES A LITTLE COOLER IN THE FOOTHILLS AND EVEN COOLER IN THE MOUNTAINS. ONLY UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60, WITH A BIT BETTER CHANCE OF A FEW SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS ON THOSE EASTERN FACING SLOPES. SO LATER ON TODAY, THIS FRONT HERE WILL LIFT NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT AND HELP TO SHIFT OUR WINDS AND MAKE IT BREEZY OUTSIDE AND ALSO BUMP OUR TEMPERATURES UP LATER ON. TODAY, THINGS ARE STILL FAIRLY QUIET HERE AT HOME, BUT YOU CAN TELL A MUCH DIFFERENT STORY OVER PARTS OF THE MIDWEST AND DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. BIG DYNAMIC SPRINGTIME STORM SYSTEM JUST CAUSING WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY. I’VE TURNED ON THE WATCHES AND WARNINGS, THE DIFFERENT SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS. THERE YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW EXPANSIVE THOSE SEVERE WEATHER WARNINGS, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS, TORNADO WATCHES ARE. AND THE WORST PART IS WE’VE GOT ANOTHER ROUND HERE TAKING SHAPE THAT’S ABOUT TO MOVE INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. A NEW AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS AND WILL WILL HELP TO FIRE UP SOME SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS IN THE DEEP SOUTH LATER TODAY. MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA UNDER THE GUN FOR A TORNADO OUTBREAK. THAT’S A LEVEL FIVE OUT OF FIVE HIGH RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. DON’T GET DON’T GET TO SHOW YOU THAT PINK COLOR ALL TOO OFTEN. AND THEN TOMORROW ON SUNDAY THAT RISK SHIFTS EASTWARD. ALL OF OUR AREA, AT LEAST THE TRIAD AND FOOTHILLS, HAVE A LEVEL TWO SLIGHT RISK FOR A FEW STRONG OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BECAUSE OF WHAT’S LEFT FROM ALL THIS MOVING THROUGH OUR AREA TOMORROW. SO MAINLY WATCHING EARLY MORNING AND THEN MAYBE FOR ANOTHE ROUND IN THE AFTERNOON AS WHAT’S LEFT OF THIS SYSTEM ROLLS THROUGH, WE WILL HAVE A DECENT AMOUNT OF WARMTH AND INSTABILITY IN PLACE AND PLENTY OF WIND ENERGY WITH THIS SYSTEM. NO REAL ISSUES TODAY, IT’S JUST MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH MAYBE SOME DRIZZLE OR A SPOTTY SHOWER. THOSE STORMS WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW MORNING, LIKELY AS YOUR FIRST WAKING UP AND THEN THROUGH ABOUT LUNCHTIME. THEY MOVE THROUGH AND THEN WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THE BACKSIDE AS WELL FOR MAYBE ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SO DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN WILL BE OUR MAIN CONCERN, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE RISK OF A FEW TORNADOES ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. TWO MAIN TIME FRAME TO WATCH WOULD BE FROM ABOUT 5 A.M. TO NOON WITH THAT FIRST ROUND, AND THEN THE SECOND ROUNDS FROM 2 P.M. TO 6 P.M. IT’S JUST TO BE IT’S BEST TO BE ALERT ALL DAY JUST IN CASE YOU’RE PREPARED FOR ANY STORM THAT DOES POP UP. THINGS BEGIN TO CLEAR UP ON MONDAY FOR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY, AND THEN WE ARE SUN
