National Weather Service Raleigh: Latest Briefing
/by John C. RoseNo matter the time of day or the time of year, you can always find the latest briefing from the National Weather Service in Raleigh by following this link (https://www.weather.gov/media/rah/briefing/NWSRaleighLatestBriefing.pdf).
The possibility of severe weather definitely exists for much of the rest of the day.
That said, the latest briefing in the link above, as of this publication at 2:45 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, indicates the most likely time for the WIZS listening area, and for that matter all of central North Carolina, is between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Areas from Raleigh northward are under a level 3 out 5 risk as a cold front pushes through with the threat increasing as you approach the NC/VA border.
The strongest storms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts. A short-lived and weak tornado is also possible.
Stay tuned to WIZS 1450 AM / 100.1 FM and fb.com/wizsradio for the latest along with www.weather.gov/rah and Raleigh NWS on social media.
