DanLarsen34 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Wanted to get a thread going on here for the severe threat today across the region. A large enhanced risk is up for basically the entire region for damaging winds. Could be a moderately active day for tornadoes too given the environment in place across the warm sector with some discrete cells expected.

SnowDeac Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Big lull for the CLT metro. One of the few times in winter I won't complain about being too far south/east for the action, though some nasty stuff will roll through later. Hope everyone to the west and north is staying safe. Is there a quick/easy site to check rain live rain gauge totals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
