As of 4:41 pm, death toll is at 30 in Buncombe County. Still 1,000 unaccounted for. I would expect the number of unaccounted to come down some once communications are reestablished and roads reopen. Still, absolutely gut-wrenching.

Pouring down again here in NE NC. I don't remember seeing many lows coming through on a northwest trajectory in March.

Honestly, the biggest concern I have with this system is getting 'dry slotted' on the east side. The afternoon models are starting to hint at this. We need the rain here in NE NC.

Our local met displayed a sobering statistic last night. The annual average January snowfall in Norfolk since 1991 is 2.6 inches. That's just pathetic. We had huge storms in the 70s and 80s. My parents always bragged about the big storms they got in the sixties. Not anymore, and it's a long term thing.

Textbook hook echo near Knightdale. Watching CBS17 live coverage at the bar. Edit:. Approaching Wendell, looking even more impressive.

Checked the forecast for updates for NE NC for this event and ended up with a flood watch. Yuck. Good luck to everyone west and north of here.

0z GFS back to showing some love for NE NC.

Brand new tornado watch (#519) for much of eastern NC until 3AM. This one includes areas of NE NC that were not in watch #518. It ain't over yet.

That's gotta be painful to see for the folks in the downslope screw zone.

Agreed. Garbage map. They short places like Williamston and Bertie County that are in the model favored areas, and imply Elizabeth City gets almost nothing. Stupid forecast.

The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Warning for... Eastern Nash County in central North Carolina... Edgecombe County in central North Carolina...

Forecasted for near 90 today and tomorrow here in NE NC. Low 90s by Thursday. Haven't seen a cloud in the sky for days. WPC 7 day has zero rain, and has been that way for at least the past week. Ugh
