A Hazardous Weather Outlook has been issued for central North Carolina today, predicting scattered strong to severe storms from the afternoon to early evening. As temperatures rise, residents should prepare for possible damaging wind gusts during these thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service in Raleigh, NC.
Not only will the thunder rattle window panes, but the temperature is also set to soar, bringing heat indices to nestle between the upper 90s and the lower 100s. Amid this blend of scorching heat and tempestuous weather, the National Weather Service advises folks to stay hydrated and seek out shade. "Take precautions if
spending time outdoors. Stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and seek shade whenever possible," as stated on the Hazardous Weather Outlook.
While spotter activation doesn't seem to be on the cards right now, the folks at the Hazardous Weather Outlook urge residents to remain vigilant: "Some could become severe, and also produce isolated heavy rainfall." During this time, the community is encouraged to keep an eye on updates as conditions could shift rapidly, leading to hazardous situations.
