This week, WCNC Charlotte Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich talks about two very important, and yet very different, topics: The cicada emergence and a destructive severe thunderstorm in Rock Hill, South Carolina.This year will have the return of two different broods of cicadas, the Periodical Cicadas, also known as Brood XIX or Brook 19. They return every 13 years and are expected here in the Carolinas.Elsewhere in the United States, Broox XIX, which returns every 17 years, is also returning.A lot of headlines are emphasizing this return of two different cicada broods with phrases like "cicada invasion" or "cicada apocalypse." Many news stories give the false impression that the two types of cicadas will be appearing at the same time.As Brad Panovich explains, unless you live in a few very specific locations, you are unlikely to experience both types of cicadas. (Of course, even just one type of cicada can be loud enough. Just as the people of Newberry County, South Carolina: https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/cicadas-noise-complaints-newberry-county-south-carolina-bugs/101-d1dbb836-6a68-438a-8813-700d7a61e5f2)Brad write's more about the cicadas here: https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/weather-iq/millions-of-cicadas-return-after-13-years-in-the-next-few-weeks/275-b664824b-858a-43d6-b893-e5959771890eBrad also shares his eyewitness account of devastating storm damage in Rock Hill, South Carolina. A supercell thunderstorm impacted York County, South Carolina on April 20 with 90-mph winds and baseball-sized hail. Brad visited the neighborhoods hardest hit by the severe weather and talked with experts, including the National Weather Service and the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) about what they saw.The thunderstorm, which was found not to have produced a tornado, produced the largest hail either Brad or the Carolina Weather Group's Frank Strait can recall ever seeing in the Carolinas. Frank, who is from Rock Hill, shares his thoughts on the severe weather damage left behind in his hometown.#northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.comThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

Chris Jackson is a South Carolina-based storm chaser and a trained first responder. On April 13, 2020, he chased severe weather as it raced across his home state.The early morning event was a continuation of what became known as the Easter tornado outbreak of 2020, which caused damage across much of the South before coming into the Carolinas.In South Carolina, there were 5 EF-3 tornadoes, 2 EF-2 tornadoes, and 1 EF-1 tornado in Central South Carolina and East-Central Georgia, causing 2 fatalities and at least 7 significant injuries.On this episode of the Carolina Weather Group podcast, Chris Jackson shares his story of chasing the storms, reporting tornado damage as a SKYWARN spotter, dialing 911 to alert authorities of an emergency, and rescuing a couple from their storm-ravaged home. By the time the severe weather outbreak was over, Chris visited Williston, Neeses, Livingston, Estill, Nixville, and Walterboro, all in the state of South Carolina, to survey the storm damage. During the course of the tornado outbreak, the National Weather Service in Charleston, SC issued their first ever Tornado Emergency, which is the highest and most severe classification of a Tornado Warning.See the official findings from the National Weather Service: https://www.weather.gov/cae/04132020_tornadoOutbreak.html🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.comThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

space #science #eclipse #northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx The Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Unlike 2017, the totality will not pass directly through the Carolinas. But still, at about 80% totality, there will still be some solar eclipse to experience in both North Carolina and South Carolina - weather permitting.This week on the Carolina Weather Group, James Brierton talks with Gina DiBraccio, Deputy Director of Heliophysics, NASA GSFC, about what we can expect to see, how we can prepare for the eclipse, and the scientific discoveries that are made possible by a solar eclipse. We also discuss space weather, solar storms, and the impacts of solar radiation on technology such as GPS and radio communication.Still need solar eclipse glasses? In this episode, we explain how you can make solar eclipse glasses at home. You can also reuse your glasses from the 2017 Eclipse or check retailers. While demand for the eclipses will be high, checking with unconventional retailers like video production stores or a hardware store may help. For example, B&H will ship you solar eclipse glasses (while supplies last) from https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/solar-eclipse-glasses-accessories/ci/32948.

NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) has provided manual translations of weather forecasts and warnings in Spanish for the past 30 years, but now the agency has a new tool to be more accurate, efficient and equitable.
Through a series of pilot projects over the past few years, NWS forecasters have been training artificial intelligence (AI) software for weather, water and climate terminology in Spanish and Simplified Chinese, the most common languages in the United States after English. NWS will add Samoan and Vietnamese next, and more languages in the future.
Two of the nearly dozen locations where these AI-translated severe weather bulletins are being tested are in the Carolinas. This week, James Brierton talks with Chris Rohrbach, a meteorologist and web developer at the National Weather Service in Columbia, South Carolina, where this artificial intelligence experiment is being tested alongside locations such as Greenville-Spartanburg, SC.
You’re invited to try out the translated severe weather bulletins at https://weather.gov/translate. NOAA wants your feedback. You can e-mail ws.translate@noaa.gov before September 29, 2024.

It's been three years since the Carolina Weather Group first talked with Richard Neal, the owner of the decommissioned Frying Pan Shoals Tower off the coast of North Carolina.James Brierton and Shea Gibson caught up with Richard recently during the Weather Pods Disaster Relief Telethon. Here now is that updated conversation, followed by an encore presentation of our first interview from 2020.Frying Pan Tower is located 32 miles off the coast of North Carolina and rises 135' above the Atlantic Ocean.

An emerging weather pattern will bring a chance of winter weather, including ice, snow and sleet, to portions of North Carolina Friday night into Saturday. The best chance of wintry precipitation will be in the mountains of western North Carolina, including Asheville, Boone, Blowing Rock and Hickory, but could also spill over into portions of the Piedmont and Triad, including Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem. Then an early forecast preview into next week shows a chance of strong storms across portions of both North Carolina and South Carolina Tuesday into Wednesday. The Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell and Frank Strait, joined by WFMY's Christian Morgan and future WXII meteorologist Dylan Hudler, provide forecast analysis and insight into Carolina weather impacts expected from these two January storm systems.#northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.comThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

Our 12-hour Weather Pods Disaster Relief Telethon had lots of plans. Lots of meetings. Lots of choreographing. And yet we still knew: It's live for 12-hours. Expect the unexpected.For me, as the technical director, the hour that stands out the most was the 4 p.m. eastern hour, when through a series of unexpected events, three big guests ended up live at the same time.The hosts that hour came from our friends at the WeatherBrains podcast. As the first weather podcast, they have a lot of great connections and friends. Among others, they had arranged for visits from the Weather Channel's Jim Cantore and Mike Bettes. They had also arranged a conversation with Ken Graham, the National Weather Service director.But the three weren't scheduled to appear at the same time. And yet, it happened.It was a memorable moment for me. Three huge names in our weather industry were, for all intents and purposes, suddenly on a Zoom call hosted by my computer. (Even when you didn't see CWG hosts on-screen, the entire telethon was streaming through our HQ.) I sat here mostly frozen. I didn't want to move. I didn't want to sneeze. I didn't want to do anything that might cause the computer to freeze up, shut down, or lose Internet. (I'm sure you've been there. As you save a big school project. Close out a big work task. Or anxiously await those concert tickets. It was that type of anticipation.)We're so lucky to have had this moment and even more lucky to have friends like WeatherBrains, who are allowing our audience to relive that moment this week on the Carolina Weather Group.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.-James BriertonDONATE TO THE TELETHON TO SUPPORT THE AMERICAN RED CROSS: https://bit.ly/wxpodstelethonCHECK OUT WEATHERBRAINS: https://weatherbrains.com/#northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.comThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

Every year, we love catching up with North Carolina's own Mark Sudduth, a storm chaser and founder of hurricanetrack.com. Each year, Mark shares with us his amazing stories of chasing and documenting some of Mother Nature's most intense tropical storms.Mark and his filmmaking are known for capturing footage where humans cannot. By securing cameras inside the path of a tropical storm or hurricane without the need for a human operator, Mark is able to safely capture amazing video of Mother Nature's true strength.For this year's conversation looking back at the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, Mark was invited to join the Carolina Weather Group and our friends from Weather Brains, Storm Front Breaks, and Chaser Chat for the Weather Pods Disaster Relief Telethon. In that telethon's 8 p.m. hour, Mark joined us for that special conversation, which was helmed by guest host Brad Panovich of WCNC Charlotte.Thanks to your generous support, our telethon was able to raise over $7,500 for the American Red Cross.

The Carolina Weather Group's James Brierton catches up with Ed Mansouri, the CEO and founder of WeatherSTEM, about his network of nearly 800 weather stations nationwide that provide live storm video, real-time weather data, and other criteria data. These stations, many of which are in both North Carolina and South Carolina, provide emergency managers with ground truth to aid with weather decision support. They also provide broadcast meteorologists with vantage points, many of which come from college and professional sports venues. The live cameras are often featured on the Carolina Weather Group's live storm coverage. Ed Mansouri also says WeatherSTEM has recently installed their first WeatherSTEM Blast system, which provides audible alarms and flashing lights ahead of severe weather, at a golf course in North Carolina.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and state officials hold a briefing to discuss what is now Tropical Storm Idalia.
The impacts of Idalia will begin to be felt in North Carolina and South Carolina starting Wednesday and continuing through Thursday.
Tropical storm-strength winds and rains will impact the Carolinas. While the exact path of Idalia is still unknown, anywhere across the Carolinas could see soaking rains and gusty winds. Some areas could see as much as 6 to 8 inches of rain.
The biggest Carolina threat from Idalia will be along the coast, where the passing storm will combine with high tide to produce coastal flooding. Across the Carolinas, we can expect to see flooding along the coast as well as along creeks, streams, and in low-lying areas.

Officials from South Carolina are holding an emergency briefing to discuss Hurricane Idalia, which is bringing a threat of heavy rain, flooding, and tornadoes to the Carolinas.
--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carolinaweather/message

Monday's severe weather event caused storm damage in hundreds of places, but why was most of the damage not from tornadoes? It's typical that significant storm damage is associated with tornadoes, but in this case, straight-line winds from thunderstorms caused the damage. WCNC Charlotte Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich explains the difference between tornadoes and straight-line winds.

Severe thunderstorms are forecast to bring damaging winds to North Carolina and South Carolina today, Monday, August 7, 2023.
The line of thunderstorms will feed off the day's 100+ degree heat index, which has prompted the National Weather Service to issue heat advisories across portions of the Carolinas. The storms are expected around 4 p.m. in the western North Carolina mountains, including in Asheville, Boone, and Blowing Rock. The storms will push eastward across the Carolinas and arrive in upstate South Carolina, including Spartanburg and Greenville, and Charlotte and Greensboro between 6 and 8 p.m. The storms are expected to remain strong as they move toward Raleigh and Columbia.
Coastal locations, including Wilmington, the outer Banks, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, could see the lingering effects from these strong storms during the overnight hours into early Tuesday morning.
There is a 30% chance of seeing damaging winds across much of the Carolinas. This has prompted the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center to issue an "Enhanced" tier 3 out of 5 risk for severe weather across much of western and central North Carolina and South Carolina. East of I-95, the severe threat remains but is more "marginal" at a tier 1 out of 5.
There is also a 15% chance of hail and a 2% chance of a tornado.
As they're issued, the Carolina Weather Net will stream real-time tornado, severe thunderstorm, and flash flood warnings from the National Weather Service here: https://youtube.com/live/HaxSfNloauo?feature=share

No earlier than August 17, NASA and SpaceX intend to launch Crew-7 to the International Space Station from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Upon their arrival, Crew-6 will hand off the scientific experiments aboard the ISS and prepare for their own return to Earth.
As we prepare for the transition, the Carolina Weather Group and James Brierton visits the special behind-the-scenes tour of the Kennedy Space Center from earlier this year: Learn what it takes to get astronauts into space, and how the current science aboard the International Space Station help prepare us for life aboard Artemis, the Moon, and eventually on toward Mars.
Go inside the vehicle assembly building, also known as the VAB, where NASA is preparing for the Artemis missions to the Moon. Plus, climb aboard the crawler vehicle, which has been used to carry Apollo, space shuttle, and Artemis' space launch system to the historic launch complex 39B.
A look inside NASA Kennedy's aviation hanger shows you the helicopters used for television broadcasts, medical transports, and security missions around the Cape.
Go inside the plant lab where botanists are creating gardens that astronauts will use to grow their own food and nutrition for future missions to the moon and Mars.
James and his fellow NASA Social participants interview real-life NASA astronauts and the director of Kennedy Space Center.
Go off the tour path and go inside the forgotten office of Wernher von Braun, the German-American aerospace engineer who left behind Hitler's Nazi party after World War II to help the United States Air Force (now the Space Force) and later NASA develop the first rockets for space and missile defensives during the Cold War.
Then join James and the Carolina Weather Group's Jared Smith for the countdown to launch as four astronauts - two from the United States, one from the United Arab Emirates, and one from Russia - launch to the International Space Center to begin their six-month stay for the Crew-6 mission.

Finally, a free lightning tool! NASA's Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (aka SPoRT) has released a new, interactive tool to help you track - and maybe, just maybe, predict - lightning.
The map viewer, available at https://weather.ndc.nasa.gov/sport/li..., not only shows you where lightning is happening but how long since the last lightning strike. So no longer do you have to worry about keeping track of that last lightning strike before returning to the pool, beach, or soccer practice, this tool will let you know when that 30-minute window has elapsed.
On this week's episode of the Carolina Weather Group, we talk with Dr. Chris Shultz, who monitors lightning professionally and personally (you'll see).
This episode was available early to our Patreon supporters. Thank you for your continued support of the show!
And please do note: This video contains lots of light flashes from recorded lightning video. Those with photosensitivity may consider listening to the audio-only podcast when it publishes on Wednesday.

An EF-3 tornado, with winds at least 135 mph, caused damage across portions of Nash County, North Carolina Wednesday. Storm investigators from the National Weather Service office in Raleigh are on the ground in Nash and Edgecombe counties surveying the damage.
A supercell tornado produced the tornado Wednesday. The National Weather Service is still working to confirm the distance the tornado was on the ground, but based on preliminary storm damage assessments, the tornado was on the ground for several miles. Officials are still working to determine the extent of storm damage, which in the immediate aftermath caused extensive damage to a Pfizer building and a still undetermined number of businesses and homes.
Additional storms and severe weather are forecast in both North Carolina and South Carolina, with most of the Carolinas in a 2% chance of seeing a tornado, based on the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center Outlook.

The N. C. Forest Service Red Incident Management Team has assumed command of the Pulp Road Fire as of this morning. Today firefighters will be transitioning from active firing operations within the Green Swamp Nature Preserve to mopping up the fire’s edge.
Weather: A super fog event occurred overnight causing extremely low visibilities during the morning commute. A weak front will linger in the region through Monday with isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. A sea breeze from the southeast will increase winds in the afternoon and create gusts of 10-15 miles per hour. Rainfall chances increase Tuesday and Wednesday. Lingering smoke may have potential to mix with fog.
Acreage: 16,000 acres; Containment: 0%; Personnel and Equipment: 81 total personnel
Yesterday the firefighters continued firing operations and brought the fire to the edge of Highway 211 as planned. Due to the firing operations, the fire size increased from 11,500 to 16,000 acres. Fire acreage may fluctuate going forward due to better measurement data coming in from the field. “Now that we’ve completed firing operations, our main objective is to keep the fire in the block of the Green Swamp Nature Preserve. If we can accomplish that, then we will be able to put this wildfire to rest,” notes NCFS Red Team Incident Commander Greg Smith.
Air quality: A Code Red air quality alert has been issued for Brunswick County. A Code Orange air quality alert has been issued for New Hanover County. Information on current air quality data for North Carolina is available at https://www.airnow.gov/.
Closures: NC Highway 211 is closed between Little Macedonia and Camp Branch roads. Updates to road closures surrounding the fire is at https://drivenc.gov/. Due to the wildfire, the Green Swamp Nature Preserve remains closed.
Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR): A “TFR” is in place at an altitude from the surface up to and including 1,500 feet, daily (24 hours) until further notice. Complete information is available at https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html. Flying drones within a TFR area is unlawful. Flying a drone near or around a wildfire compromises the safety of pilots and interferes with firefighting efforts.

The Pulp Road Fire in Brunswick County has burned roughly 2,500 acres in the Green Swamp Nature Preserve as of 9 a.m., June 16.
Thursday, June 15, firefighting personnel completed strategic firing operations to eliminate hazardous unburned fuels outside the fire area. Crews also mopped up some significant spotovers along Richardson Road. Firefighting personnel will continue strategic firing operations into the weekend while weather conditions allow.
Significant smoke is expected for communities in and surrounding Brunswick County. Areas surrounding the Green Swamp Nature Preserve and northeast of Wilmington will experience the heaviest smoke impacts. Highway 17 and other corridors could be impacted with substantial smoke, resulting in low visibility and challenging travel conditions overnight and into Saturday.
In the interest of safety, residents and commuters may want to consider allowing for extra travel time or plan to take alternate routes.
The N.C. Forest Service is mobilizing its Red Incident Management Team to take command of the Pulp Road Fire. Currently, operational resources working this fire include multiple engine and tractor plow strike teams as well as aircraft providing aerial support.
The public is reminded to keep drones away from wildfires. While drones provide unique opportunities for aerial video and imagery of wildfire activity, they are unauthorized. Flying a drone near or around a wildfire compromises the safety of pilots and interferes with firefighting efforts.
There are no injuries and no structures threatened at this time.
Due to the wildfire, the Green Swamp Nature Preserve remains closed

The air quality in the Carolinas is so poor Wednesday that officials have issued a Code Red, a type of air quality alert that encourages everyone to consider limiting prolonged exposure outside. Those especially sensitive to air pollution, including people with asthma, should avoid outdoor exercise altogether.
The Carolina Weather Group's James Brierton discusses the poor air quality, and the weather pattern making this possible, with WCNC Charlotte Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich.
Air quality is forecast to improve slightly Thursday and Friday but could still be deteriorated from smoke conditions.

Dr. Phil Klotzbach is back on the Carolina Weather Group to explain why he and the famed Colorado State University hurricane forecast predict a slightly below-average storm activity in the Atlantic Ocean this hurricane season.
They are forecasting 13 named storms, down from the average of 14.4 They expect 6 hurricanes, down from the average of 7.2. Dr. Klotzbach expects 2 major hurricanes of Category 3 or greater, which is down from 3.2.
Current neutral ENSO conditions look fairly likely to transition to El Niño this summer/fall. However, there is considerable uncertainty as to how strong an El Niño would be, if it does develop. Sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central Atlantic are much warmer than normal, so if a robust El Niño does not develop, the potential still exists for a busy Atlantic hurricane season. Larger-than-normal uncertainty exists with this outlook. We anticipate a near-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean. As is the case with all hurricane seasons, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them. They should prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much activity is predicted.

This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we talk with Myleigh Neill of the North Carolina State Climate Office about urban heat islands in the Carolinas. An urban heat island occurs when a city experiences much warmer temperatures than nearby rural areas. The difference in temperature between urban and less-developed rural areas has to do with how well the surfaces in each environment absorb and hold heat.SPONSOR: https://strms.net/hellofresh_carolinawxgroup MERCH: https://www.youtube.com/@CarolinaWeatherGroup/store LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.comThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

The Carolina Weather Group's James Brierton takes you on an all-access, behind-the-scenes tour of Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida. As we countdown to the launch of NASA SpaceX Crew-6 launch to the International Space Station, James takes you inside places not normally open to the public:
Go inside the vehicle assembly building, also known as the VAB, where NASA is preparing for the Artemis missions to the Moon. Plus, climb aboard the crawler vehicle, which has been used to carry Apollo, space shuttle, and Artemis' space launch system to the historic launch complex 39B.
A look inside NASA Kennedy's aviation hanger shows you the helicopters used for television broadcasts, medical transports, and security missions around the Cape.
Go inside the plant lab where botanists are creating gardens that astronauts will use to grow their own food and nutrition of future missions to the moon and Mars.
James and his fellow NASA Social participants interview real-life NASA astronauts and the director of Kennedy Space Center.
Go off the tour path and go inside the forgotten office of Wernher von Braun, the German-American aerospace engineer who left behind Hitler's Nazi party after World War II to help the United States Air Force (now the Space Force) and later NASA develop the first rockets for space and missile defensives during the Cold War.
Then join James and the Carolina Weather Group's Jared Smith for the countdown to launch as four astronauts - two from the United States, one from the United Arab Emirates, and one from Russia - launch to the International Space Center to begin their six-month stay for the Crew-6 mission.

Crew members assigned to NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission are in orbit following their successful launch to the International Space Station at 12:34 a.m. EST Thursday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The international crew are the agency’s sixth commercial crew rotation mission with SpaceX aboard the orbital laboratory.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket propelled the Dragon spacecraft, named Endeavour, into orbit carrying NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg, along with United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, for a science expedition aboard the space station.
“Congratulations to the NASA and SpaceX teams for another history-making mission to the International Space Station! The Commercial Crew Program is proof American ingenuity and leadership in space benefits all of humanity – through groundbreaking science, innovative technology, and newfound partnership,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Crew-6 will be busy aboard the International Space Station, conducting over 200 experiments that will help us to prepare for missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, as well as improve life here on Earth. We look forward to seeing all that they accomplish.”
During Dragon’s flight, SpaceX will monitor a series of automatic spacecraft maneuvers from its mission control center in Hawthorne, California, and NASA teams will monitor space station operations throughout the flight from the Mission Control Center at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Dragon will dock autonomously to the space-facing port of the station’s Harmony module around 1:17 a.m., Friday, March 3. NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website will provide live coverage of docking and hatch opening. NASA TV also will cover the ceremony to welcome the crew aboard the orbital outpost about 3:40 a.m.
Once aboard station, Crew-6 will join the Expedition 68, consisting of NASA astronauts Frank Rubio, Nicole Mann, and Josh Cassada, as well as JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev, Dmitri Petelin, and Anna Kikina. For a short time, the 11 crew members will live and work in space together until Crew-5 members Mann, Cassada, Wakata, and Kikina return to Earth a few days later.
Conducting new scientific research, Crew-6 will help prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and benefit life on Earth. Experiments will include studies of how particular materials burn in microgravity, tissue chip research on heart, brain, and cartilage functions, and an investigation that will collect microbial samples from the outside of the space station. These are just some of the hundreds of science experiments and technology demonstrations that will take place during their mission.
“For more than two decades, humans have continuously lived and worked aboard the International Space Station,” said Kathryn Lueders, associate administrator for NASA’s Space Operations Mission Directorate in Washington. “Commercial Crew Program missions like Crew-6 are essential so we can continue to maximize the important research possible only in the space station’s unique microgravity environment. Congratulations to the NASA and SpaceX teams on a successful launch! I am looking forward to seeing the crew safely aboard the station.”
The Crew-6 mission enables NASA to maximize use of the space station, where astronauts have lived and worked continuously for more than 22 years testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to operate future commercial destinations in low-Earth orbit and explore farther from Earth. Research conducted on the space station provides benefits for--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather/message

NASA is holding a special briefing and Q&A session for NASA Social participants, including our own James Brierton, at 4:30 ET.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission is the sixth crew rotation mission with SpaceX to the space station, and the seventh flight of Dragon with humans aboard. The mission is targeted to launch no earlier than 1:45 a.m. EST Monday, Feb. 27, on SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft – named Endeavour – atop the company’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. Mission operations teams will be closely monitoring the weather leading up to liftoff.
After docking, the Crew-6 crewmates will be welcomed inside the station by the seven-member crew of Expedition 68. Following a handover on the space station with Crew-6, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 crew members will undock from the space station.
The NASA SpaceX trip comes at the same time Russia prepares to launch a passengerless Soyuz MS-23 crew ship at 7:24 p.m. EST Thursday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a two-day trek to the space station. Besides delivering provisions for the crew, the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft will return NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin back to Earth later this year. Those three men are awaiting a new spacecraft because their previous craft, Soyuz MS-22, suffered a depressurization issue that made it not idle for human spaceflight back to Earth.

NASA’s Orion spacecraft successfully completed a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean at 9:40 PST, 12:40 EST as the final major milestone of the Artemis I mission. Engineers will perform several additional tests while Orion is in the water and before powering down the spacecraft and handing it over to the recovery team aboard the USS Portland.
At the direction of the NASA recovery director, Navy divers and other team members in several inflatable boats will approach the spacecraft. When Orion is ready to be pulled into the ship’s well deck at the waterline, the divers will attach a cable, called the winch line, to pull the spacecraft into the ship and up to four additional tending lines to attach points on the crew module. The winch will pull Orion into a specially designed cradle inside the ship’s well deck and the other lines will control the motion of the spacecraft. Once Orion is positioned above the cradle assembly, technicians will drain the well deck and secure it on the cradle.
Once aboard the vessel, teams will take the spacecraft to U.S. Naval Base San Diego and soon return it to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center for inspection. Technicians in Florida will thoroughly inspect Orion, retrieving data recorded on board, removing onboard payloads, and more.
Artemis I was the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems – the Orion spacecraft, SLS rocket, and the supporting ground systems – and the first in a series of increasingly complex missions at the Moon. Through Artemis missions, NASA will establish a long-term lunar presence for scientific discovery and prepare for human missions to Mars.

This year La Niña returns for the third consecutive winter, driving warmer-than-average temperatures for the Southwest and along the Gulf Coast and eastern seaboard, according to NOAA’s U.S. Winter Outlook released today by the Climate Prediction Center — a division of the National Weather Service. Starting in December 2022 through February 2023, NOAA predicts drier-than-average conditions across the South with wetter-than-average conditions for areas of the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes, northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest.
“The hardworking forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center produce timely and accurate seasonal outlooks and short-term forecasts year-round,” said Michael Farrar, Ph.D., director of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. “NOAA’s new supercomputers are enabling us to develop even better, more detailed forecast capabilities, which we’ll be rolling out in the coming years.”
NOAA forecasters, in collaboration with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), continue to monitor extreme, ongoing drought conditions that have persisted in the Western U.S. since late 2020, as well as parts of the central U.S. where historic low-water conditions are currently present.
“Drought conditions are now present across approximately 59% of the country, but parts of the Western U.S and southern Great Plains will continue to be the hardest hit this winter,” said Jon Gottschalck, chief, Operational Prediction Branch, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “With the La Niña climate pattern still in place, drought conditions may also expand to the Gulf Coast.”
Temperature
- The greatest chance for warmer-than-average conditions are in western Alaska, and the Central Great Basin and Southwest extending through the Southern Plains.
- Warmer-than-average temperatures are also favored in the Southeastern U.S. and along the Atlantic coast.
- Below-normal temperatures are favored from the Pacific Northwest eastward to the western Great Lakes and the Alaska Panhandle.
Precipitation
- Wetter-than-average conditions are most likely in western Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.
- The greatest chances for drier-than-average conditions are forecast in portions of California, the Southwest, the southern Rockies, southern Plains, Gulf Coast and much of the Southeast.
- The remainder of the U.S. falls into the category of equal chances for below-, near-, or above-average seasonal total precipitation.
Drought
- Widespread extreme drought continues to persist across much of the West, the Great Basin, and the central-to-southern Great Plains.
- Drought is expected to impact the middle and lower Mississippi Valley this winter.
- Drought development is expected to occur across the South-central and Southeastern U.S., while drought conditions are expected to improve across the Northwestern U.S. over the coming months.

NASA’s Artemis I mission lifted off on Nov. 16, 2022, from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B. This video includes highlights from the event.
With 8.8 million pounds of thrust, the Space Launch System (SLS), is NASA’s most powerful rocket. It will send the uncrewed Orion spacecraft beyond the Moon, 280,000 miles from Earth, farther than any human-rated spacecraft has ever flown.
After 26 days and a total distance of over a million miles, Orion will return home faster and hotter than any spacecraft has before.
The primary goals for Artemis I are to demonstrate Orion’s systems in a spaceflight environment and ensure a safe re-entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery prior to the first flight with crew on Artemis II.
The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will demonstrate our commitment and capability to build a long-term human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

Artemis I managers convened Monday afternoon to review the status of countdown operations as well as two open technical items, and gave a “go” to proceed toward launch Wednesday, Nov 16. The two-hour window for launch opens at 1:04 a.m. EST.
Engineers examined detailed analysis of caulk on a seam between an ogive on Orion’s launch abort system and the crew module adapter and potential risks if it were to detach during launch. The mission management team determined there is a low likelihood that if additional material tears off it would pose a critical risk to the flight.
Technicians also completed replacing a component of an electrical connector on the hydrogen tail service mast umbilical. While swapping the component did not fully fix the issue, engineers have redundant sources of information supplied through the connector.
The countdown, which began Monday at 1:54 a.m., is progressing smoothly. All elements of the rocket and spacecraft are powered up. Overnight, teams will charge flight batteries, conduct final walkdowns at the launch pad, and check out communications with Orion.
The following milestones remaining in the countdown are below. Live coverage of tanking operations with commentary on NASA TV will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 3:30 p.m. Full launch coverage in English will begin at 10:30 p.m. Click here for the latest information on launch briefings and events.

What will remain of Hurricane Nicole is forecast to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to North Carolina and South Carolina late Thursday, Friday, and into the first part of Saturday. The biggest impact from the storm will be scattered tornadoes and flooding, which will be brought on by both heavy rains and high tides.
Along the coast, the storm surge could cause flooding along Carolina shortlines. Heavy rains are expected across the Carolinas, but especially at the coast and in the higher elevations of the western North Carolina foothills and mountains.
Regardless of the storm's name and classification, the impacts for the Carolinas will remain likely the same despite the storm's weakening from a hurricane to a tropical storm or tropical depression.
Across the Carolinas, the Carolina Weather Group provides forecast analysis and explanation to help you better understand what to expect from the storm.

Tropical storm-forecast conditions are possible across portions of the Carolinas Friday and Saturday from Nicole.
Forecast to become a hurricane before landfall along the east coast of Florida Thursday, Nicole will then swing into the Southeast.
While the exact forecast track of Nicole remains uncertain, the storm is expected to bring heavy rains, gusty winds, and coastal impacts, including the possibility of storm surge, rough surf, and erosion to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
NASA is also closely monitoring forecast weather conditions at Cape Canaveral, where the Space Launch System and Orion capsule for the Artemis-1 mission are sitting on Launch Pad 39B. As of Monday, NASA continues to keep the vehicle at the launch pad but, as they did for Ian, could elect to move the vehicle back to the safety of the Vehicular Assembly Building. The time-consuming move could jeopardize the planned launch attempts next week for this mission back to the moon.
The Carolina Weather Group will have updates throughout the week here on the channel and on our audio podcast feed.

Briefing participants include:
Jim Free, associate administrator, Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters
Cliff Lanham, senior vehicle operations manager, Exploration Ground Systems Program, Kennedy
Teams are on track to roll the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to Launch Pad 39B no earlier than Friday, Nov. 4 with first motion targeted for 12:01 a.m. EDT.
Minor repairs identified through detailed inspections are mostly completed. Preparations are underway to ready the mobile launcher and VAB for rollout by configuring the mobile launcher arms and umbilicals and continuing to retract the access platforms surrounding SLS and Orion as work is completed.
Testing of the reaction control system on the twin solid rocket booters, as well as the installation of the flight batteries, is complete and those components are ready for flight. Engineers also have replaced the batteries on the interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS), which was powered up for a series of tests to ensure the stage is functioning properly. Teams successfully completed final confidence checks for the ICPS, launch vehicle stage adapter and the core stage forward skirt.
Teams are continuing to work in the intertank area of the core stage and upper section of the boosters to replace batteries. These areas will remain open to support remaining battery and flight termination system activities. Flight termination system testing will start next week on the intertank and booster and once complete, those elements will be ready for launch. Charging of the secondary payloads in the Orion stage adapter is complete.
Teams recharged, replaced and reinstalled several of the radiation instruments and the crew seat accelerometer inside Orion ahead of the crew module closure for roll. Technicians will refresh the specimens for the space biology payload at the launch pad. The crew module and launch abort system hatches are closed for the roll to the pad, and engineers will perform final closeouts at the pad prior to launch.
NASA is targeting the next launch attempt of the Artemis I mission for Monday, Nov. 14 with liftoff of the Space Launch System "SLS" rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft planned during a 69-minute launch window that opens at 12:07 a.m. EST. Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test to launch SLS and send Orion around the Moon and back to Earth to thoroughly test its system before flights with astronauts.

NOAA's new supercomputers, first announced in February 2020 with a contract award to General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), provide a significant upgrade to computing capacity, storage space and interconnect speed of the nation’s Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System.
This episode features bonus material for our Patreon supporters: https://www.patreon.com/posts/inside-noaas-ep-73830012
“Accurate weather and climate predictions are critical to informing public safety, supporting local economies, and addressing the threat of climate change,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo. “Through strategic and sustained investments, the U.S. is reclaiming a global top spot in high-performance computing to provide more accurate and timely climate forecasts to the public.”
“More computing power will enable NOAA to provide the public with more detailed weather forecasts further in advance,” said NOAA Administrator, Rick Spinrad, Ph.D. “Today’s supercomputer implementation is the culmination of years of hard work by incredible teams across NOAA — everyone should be proud of this accomplishment.”
“This is a big day for NOAA and the state of weather forecasting,” said Ken Graham, director of NOAA’s National Weather Service. “Researchers are developing new ensemble-based forecast models at record speed, and now we have the computing power needed to implement many of these substantial advancements to improve weather and climate prediction.”
Enhanced computing and storage capacity will allow NOAA to deploy higher-resolution models to better capture small-scale features like severe thunderstorms, more realistic model physics to better capture the formation of clouds and precipitation, and a larger number of individual model simulations to better quantify model certainty. The end result is even better forecasts and warnings to support public safety and the national economy.
The new supercomputers will enable an upgrade to the U.S. Global Forecast System, the "GFS," this fall and the launch of a new hurricane forecast model called the Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System, the "HAFS," slated to be in operation for the 2023 hurricane season pending tests and evaluation.
In addition, the new supercomputers will enable NOAA’s Environmental Modeling Center — a division of the National Weather Service’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction — to implement other new applications created by model developers across the U.S. under the Unified Forecast Systemoffsite link over the next five years.
This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we chat with David Michaud, the director of central processing for the National Weather Service, and Brian Gross, the director of environmental modeling for NWS.

Hurricane Ian made landfall Wednesday in Florida as a strong Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds. By Thursday night, Ian is expected to reemerge over the East Coast and the Atlantic Ocean as a tropical storm. The storm will move to the north and is expected to make landfall Friday along the Georgia or South Carolina coast. Tropical Storm Warnings have been posted along the Georgia, South Carolina, and portions of the North Carolina coast. Tropical Storm Watches extend inland through Columbia and towards Charlotte. This week, a special extended edition of the Carolina Weather Group forecasting the impacts of Ian on the Carolinas: The storm is expected to produce storm surge at the coast upward of five feet, produce upwards of eight inches of rain, and wind gusts up to 50 mph. The biggest threat from the storm will be heavy rain and flooding, but an isolated tornado or two are also possible.
Joining the Carolina Weather Group this week as guests: Eric Davis from WECT in Wilmington, NC, Chrissy Kohler from WACH in Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, Rob Fowler from WCBD in Charleston, SC, Brad Panovich from WCNC in Charlotte, NC.

Hurricane Ian is making landfall Wednesday in Florida before continuing across the state. The storm will reemerge into the Atlantic Ocean waters off the East Coast.
This will allow Ian, then expected to be a tropical storm, to make a second landfall somewhere along the Georgia or South Carolina coast Friday.
The biggest threat from Ian in the Carolinas will be flooding, with rainfall amounts between 6 and 8 inches and storm surge upward of 3 feet along the coast.
The storm could also produce an isolated number of tornadoes.
Following a potential second landfall Friday, the storm will push inland where it will weaken into a tropical depression. Impacts from the storm are still expected across all of North Carolina and South Carolina from the remnants of this storm. Localized flash flooding is the greatest threat for many Carolinians.

Hurricane Ian is growing in strength ahead of landfall in Florida later this week.
There is still uncertainty in the forecast for Ian. As the storm's track progresses, there will be a better certainty of where and when the storm makes landfall. This data will allow forecasters to better and more accurately predict what happens to Ian as it approaches Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
Both the NAM and a European weather forecast model envision a landfall near Tampa with the storm passing over Orlando and the space coast before returning to the Atlantic Ocean. This would put the storm closer to cities like Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Wilmington. This scenario would bring more beach erosion and heavier surf to the Carolina coast.
The GFS model wants to take the storm further west and further inland following landfall in Florida's panhandle. If Ian's center of circulation were to pass over Georgia, upstate South Carolina, and western North Carolina, more of the Carolinas would see more severe weather.
In either scenario, all of the Carolinas are at risk for heavy rain and flash flooding.
The strongest part of any storm is the top right, or northeast, quadrant. A storm track further west puts more of the Carolinas under the right side of the storm. Thus this would bring more of Ian's heavy rain, flash flooding, strong winds, and possible tornado threat further inland and over more of the Carolinas.
The certainty in the forecast will improve over the coming days. In any scenario, impacts from Ian are not expected to reach the Carolinas before late Thursday with the most likely arrival overnight on Friday. Impacts will move from south-to-north with storm impacts reaching North Carolina by later Friday. Storm impacts will continue into Saturday and linger into Sunday.
The Carolina Weather Group will continue to track Ian, the forecast, and the impacts that can be expected in the Carolinas. Now is the time to prepare for possible evacuations, power outages, flooding, and more.

With the peak of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season upon us and storm threats like Fiona and Ian taking headlines, we're bringing you a special on hurricane season from the National Weather Service. In this special conversation, meteorologists from the National Weather Service offices across South Carolina bring you ways to prepare your home, your family, and your community for potential tropical threats. They discuss what makes threats, including flooding storm surge, wind, and tornadoes, so risky with a tropical storm or hurricane. This conversation was taped in May ahead of the start of the season. The Carolina Weather Group feels it's important to bring you this conversation now as a reminder of things that you can still do ahead of any storm to prepare. We thank the National Weather Service office in Columbia for hosting this conversation and allowing us to share it with you.

NASA is foregoing a launch opportunity Tuesday, Sept. 27, and preparing for rollback, while continuing to watch the weather forecast associated with Tropical Storm Ian. During a meeting Saturday morning, teams decided to stand down on preparing for the Tuesday launch date to allow them to configure systems for rolling back the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Engineers deferred a final decision about the roll to Sunday, Sept. 25, to allow for additional data gathering and analysis. If Artemis I managers elect to roll back, it would begin late Sunday night or early Monday morning.
Earlier in the week, crews conducted a fuel tanking test to ensure a fuel leak, which scrubbed the first two launch attempts, had been resolved. On Friday, officials talked with reporters about the testing data. That teleconference audio is in this podcast.
The new cryogenic loading procedures and ground automation were designed to transition temperature and pressures slowly during tanking to reduce the likelihood of leaks that could be caused by rapid changes in temperature or pressure. After encountering the leak early in the operation, teams further reduced loading pressures to troubleshoot the issue and proceed with the demonstration test. The pre-pressurization test enabled engineers to calibrate the settings used for conditioning the engines during the terminal count and validate timelines before launch day to reduce schedule risk during the countdown on launch day.

Hurricane Florence, a large and slow moving category one hurricane, made landfall during the morning of September 14, 2018. After the eye crossed Wrightsville Beach, NC at 7:15 a.m. the storm spent the next two days producing record-breaking rainfall across eastern North Carolina and a portion of northeastern South Carolina. Over 30 inches of rain were measured in a few North Carolina locations, exceeding the highest single-storm rainfall amounts ever seen in this portion of the state. A station in Loris, SC recorded 23.63 inches rain, setting a new state tropical cyclone rainfall record for the state of South Carolina.
Record river flooding developed over the next several days along the Cape Fear, Northeast Cape Fear, Lumberton, and Waccamaw Rivers, destroying roads and damaging thousands of homes and businesses. A USGS report indicated nine river gauges reported floods exceeding their 1-in-500 year expected return intervals. Although Florence will be remembered primarily for its record-breaking flooding, wind gusts over 100 mph caused significant damage to buildings, trees, and electrical service across the Cape Fear area, and a storm surge of over four feet eroded beaches and damaged property between Cape Fear and Cape Lookout.
The state of North Carolina reported 42 fatalities due to the hurricane and preliminary damage estimates of $16.7 billion. An estimated 74,563 structures were flooded and 5,214 people were reportedly rescued from flooding. Nearly 140,000 North Carolinians registered for disaster assistance after the storm. South Carolina Emergency Management reported 9 fatalities across the state; $607 million damage; 11,386 homes with moderate or major damage; 455,000 people evacuated, and 11 dams breached or failed.

After standing down on today’s Artemis I launch attempt when engineers could not overcome a hydrogen leak in a quick disconnect, an interface between the liquid hydrogen fuel feed line and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, mission managers met and decided they will forego additional launch attempts in early September.
Over the next several days, teams will establish access to the area of the leak at Launch Pad 39B, and in parallel conduct a schedule assessment to provide additional data that will inform a decision on whether to perform work to replace a seal either at the pad, where it can be tested under cryogenic conditions, or inside the Vehicle Assembly Building.
To meet the requirement by the Eastern Range for the certification on the flight termination system, currently set at 25 days, NASA will need to roll the rocket and spacecraft back to the VAB before the next launch attempt to reset the system’s batteries. The flight termination system is required on all rockets to protect public safety.
During today’s launch attempt, engineers saw a leak in a cavity between the ground side and rocket side plates surrounding an 8-inch line used to fill and drain liquid hydrogen from the SLS rocket. Three attempts at reseating the seal were unsuccessful. While in an early phase of hydrogen loading operations called chilldown, when launch controllers cool down the lines and propulsion system prior to flowing super cold liquid hydrogen into the rocket’s tank at minus 423 degrees F, an inadvertent command was sent that temporarily raised the pressure in the system. While the rocket remained safe and it is too early to tell whether the bump in pressurization contributed to the cause of the leaky seal, engineers are examining the issue.
Because of the complex orbital mechanics involved in launching to the Moon, NASA would have had to launch Artemis I by Tuesday, Sept. 6 as part of the current launch period.

Following the Artemis I pre-launch briefing, meteorologists with the U.S. Space Force Space Launch Delta 45 predict a 60% chance of favorable weather conditions at the beginning of the two-hour launch window that opens at 2:17 p.m. EDT Sept 3, increasing to an 80% chance of favorable weather conditions toward the later part of the window. The primary weather concern for the two-hour launch window remains scattered rain showers. The weather guidelines for NASA’s Artemis I flight test identify conditions to launch the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft.
Teams will continue working their way through the countdown conducting planned health checks on SLS and Orion systems. The mission management team will meet early in the morning, Saturday, Sept. 3 and give the final determination for a “go” or “no-go” decision to begin tanking operations.
The uncrewed flight test will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system, demonstrating the performance of the rocket and testing the spacecraft’s capabilities as it journeys about 40,000 miles beyond the Moon over the course of about six weeks.
The first in an increasingly complex series of missions, Artemis I will pave the way for long-term lunar exploration, providing the foundation for extending human presence to the Moon and beyond.

This week, an encore episode from the Carolina Weather Group archive.
After 33 years forecasting the weather for Charlotte viewers of WBTV-TV, Chief Meteorologist Eric Thomas retired at the end of 2021.
In a special sitdown interview with the Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell, Eric revisits his 3-decade career, including historic coverage of Hurricane Hugo, tornadoes, and other severe weather events. Eric also outlines the evolution of his career - from television into the age of streaming technology and social media.
From our archive: Hurricane Hugo anniversary special: https://youtu.be/Qz6W0RCmjZ4
Starting in 1988, Eric would oversee the creation and growth of Channel 3's functioning weather center as the Queen City's first degreed meteorologist on TV.
As Eric explains, his degree and career track can be attributed to his father: Who encouraged him to seek the weather education ahead of a plan to go into the United States military and flight school. Eric, who had always dreamed of becoming a commercial airline pilot, studied the atmosphere and meteorology in college. A medical limitation that caused him to fail out of basic training, landed him into his storied career as a forecaster.
Eric shares his own personal story of being given up for adoption and the loving family who took him in as their own. Eric has been paying that forward through local efforts in the Charlotte community to help families and children be united through adoption and fostering. Eric is also currently involved in the Carolina Radar project, a cooperative public-private initiative meant to help Charlotte solve its radar coverage issues.

In this unique opportunity to sit down and talk at WBTV studios, the Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell explains how Eric mentored him into a life of weather. And stay tuned until the very end for surprise messages from Eric's fellow meteorologists - colleagues and competitors alike.

Frying Pan Tower is located 32 miles off the coast of North Carolina and rises 135' above the Atlantic Ocean. It helps provide safety to Mariners in the Atlantic ocean, is used for environmental research and education studies, and is a shelter to a natural ecosystem for marine wildlife.
Its location makes it a prime spot to observe tropical weather off the Carolina coast, including a direct hit by Hurricane Irene in 2011. Weather conditions are observed on-board by weather sensors and a live streaming webcam.
In 2010, the government placed the Frying Pan Tower up for auction, with the winning bid going to Richard Neal of Charlotte, NC. Richard is our guest on this episode of the Carolina Weather Group. He joins us via video chat from the tower.
The tower is powered using wind turbines and solar energy for electricity. It has a filtration system for potable water and high-speed Internet for communications.
You can learn more about the tower, and make a donation to its upkeeping, on https://fptower.org/.

Nadia Ramlagan, North Carolina News Service
Faith and climate leaders convene in Charlotte this week, as the Southeast Climate and Energy Network and US Climate Action Network join forces.
They're asking the nation to pay its fair share to help communities feeling the worst effects of climate change.
Rev. Michael Malcom is the executive director of the Birmingham, Alabama-based People's Justice Council.
He pointed out that Black, Brown and other historically vulnerable communities are disproportionately experiencing loss and damage from climate disasters - and are the least likely to have the resources to rebuild.
"All of us in the South, I would say, are aware of the effects of climate change," said Malcom, "because we are the ones that are being hit - I would say the hardest - particularly in the gulf region."
Research shows warming global temperatures will likely make parts of the southern U.S. more tropical, fostering the spread of insect-borne diseases and invasive species, extreme temperatures and heavy rain events.
North Carolina ranks in the top five states that have experienced billion dollar weather disasters since 1980.
Susannah Tuttle is the director of the North Carolina Council of Churches Eco-Justice Connection Program, and is community liaison for the USCAN's Fair Share program.
She said as the second-highest emitter of carbon emissions in the world, the U.S. can make good on its promises and help ensure that financial assets are used to promote shared welfare in a changing climate.
"It is an absolute moral imperative to end investment in climate destruction," said Tuttle. "All people of faith and spirituality with a role in the financial system have a responsibility to create action immediately, to put the world on a path to a just and sustainable future."
Rev. Malcom said he believes religious groups have a role to play in educating the public on how climate change is affecting their lives.
"And I think communities of faith, that's where we can be most impactful, in helping to control that narrative," said Malcom. "If we can become hubs of resilience, hubs of restoration."
A Morning Consult poll released last year found nationwide, 60% of Christians and 79% of Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim Americans believe passing legislation to address climate change and its effects should be a top priority for Congress.

GOES-18, which launched March 1 as GOES-R, is continuing operational testing ahead of becoming the United States' newest weather satellite. Part of those tests, is the transmission of its initial test imagery.
Our guest this week on the Carolina Weather Group is Dr. Dan Lindsey, the Chief Scientist for NOAA's GOES-R Program. Lindsey explains the ongoing testing, where the satellite is now, and what remains before the satellite can begin monitoring the weather for the West Coast of the United States.
GOES-18 will assist GOES-17 with GOES West operations in late summer 2022 and again in early fall. NOAA plans for GOES-18 to replace GOES-17 as GOES West in early 2023.
GOES-16, which launched in 2016 as GOES-R, provides weather data for the United States East Coast, including both North Carolina and South Carolina.
GOES-U will be the fourth and final spacecraft in the GOES-R Series of geostationary weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The GOES-R Series is a joint effort between NASA and NOAA and includes GOES-R, GOES-S, GOES-T, and GOES-U.
Imagery from GOES-18 during the post-launch testing phase should be considered preliminary and non-operational.

Excessive heat will create dangerous weather conditions across North Carolina and South Carolina this week. A heat wave will impact the Carolinas through Friday.
The high temperatures, combined with the humidity, will push the heat index over 100 degrees. The heat index is a measure of what the temperature outside really feels like.
Weather this hot will make it hard for our bodies to cool down. With the proper ability to perspire, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are possible. Be safe and practice health precautions.
Everyone should practice weather safety by remaining indoors, out of the sun, and continued hydration. Be sure to check on your neighbors, friends, and family.
In addition to the heat, afternoon thunderstorms could be strong-to-severe. While these storms are expected to be scattered, isolated storms could bring damaging wind. Overall, rain chances stay low. Without rain and clouds, the temperature will stay hot, and vegetation will struggle.

Thunderstorms are capable of reaching the tropopause: the boundary between the lowest layer of the atmosphere in which we live (the troposphere) and the layer immediately above (the stratosphere). If a storm overshoots the tropopause and extends into the stratosphere, it may lead to the transport of air between the two layers. This is called a stratosphere-troposphere exchange or STE.
Dr. Cameron R. Homeyer of the University of Oklahoma studies the stratosphere-troposphere exchange caused by severe storms. He's the guest this week on the Carolina Weather Group.

Wednesday marks the start of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. A tropical disturbance near the Yucatan Peninsula could become this year's first named storm. If named, it would become Alex.
The tropical disturbance is expected to move over Florida before bringing the possibility of rough surf, rip currents, and erosion to the coasts of both North Carolina and South Carolina this weekend.
The storm system, regardless of strength, will remain offshore thanks to a cold front advancing across the United States. However that same cold front brings a marginal (tier 1 out of 5) risk of severe weather to coastal Carolina Friday. These storms will be powered by continued hot temperatures across the Southeast. The main severe weather threat Friday will be damaging winds, lightning, and heavy rain for locations including, but not limited to, Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Wilmington and the Outer Banks.
On this week's Carolina Weather Group, our panel looks at the upcoming tropical and severe weather forecast.
Plus a behind the scenes visit to the National Hurricane Center in Miami with director Ken Graham.

The 2022 hurricane season starts next week and both NOAA’s National Hurricane Center and the researchers at Colorado State University are calling for an above-normal hurricane season.
Our guest this week, is Dr. Phil Klotzbach, one of the acclaimed CSU Tropical Weather and Climate Research team. Their tropical outlook, issued early each spring, is a leader in forecasting the tropics.
Klotzbach explains how current La Niña conditions and average sea surface temperatures has led them to forecast 19 named storms, nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes.
A separate outlook published this week by the National Weather Service, foresees a similar season: with 14-21 named storms, 6-10 hurricanes, and 3-6 major hurricanes.

Executive orders aimed at driving down greenhouse-gas emissions are still not enough to reach North Carolina's 50% reduction goal by 2030, a report by the Environmental Defense Fund found.
The report showed under current state policies, North Carolina is on track to shrink emissions by 28% to 38%, far below its target.
Michelle Allen, project manager of North Carolina political affairs for the Environmental Defense Fund, said there are ways to get back on track, including aggressively building greener infrastructure for electric power and public transportation.
"The electric power and the transportation sectors account for nearly 70% of the state's overall climate solutions," Allen pointed out. "Those are going to be the top two, really most critical, sectors to focus on."
The governor's executive orders require reducing energy consumption in state-owned buildings and increasing the number of zero-emission vehicles on the roads.
Allen explained North Carolina's utility commission, which is responsible for regulating electric utilities, is also in the process of developing a carbon plan.
"Which is going to outline how the electric-power sector is going to drive down climate pollution in line with these 2030 and 2050 targets," Allen noted.
According to the state's Department of Environmental Quality, poor air quality is largely driven by vehicle emissions triggering ground-level ozone or smog, and particle pollution.
Allen added taking steps to curb emissions will improve residents' health, especially those who are most vulnerable.
"The next step after that is to determine the policy solutions and programs that are going to get us to achieve those goals," Allen asserted.
Research shows on a local level, air pollution from manufacturing and industry is most commonly concentrated in low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.

Yet another round of severe thunderstorms is on the way for Friday afternoon and night. This event could be worse than the other severe storms this week.
A cold front moving into the near-summery air mass that we have in place across North Carolina and South Carolina will be the trigger for the storms. As a result, the National Weather SErvice's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has put most of the state at a level 2 of 5 'slight' risk for severe thunderstorms Friday.
All modes of severe weather are possible including tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and isolated flash flooding.
Join the Carolina Weather Group as we break down the threats and timing across the Carolinas.

It's National Hurricane Preparedness with the start of the 2022 hurricane season less than a month away -- but should the hurricane season start earlier than June 1st? That's one of the questions we discuss with hurricane expert and meteorologist Michael Lowry during these never-before-seen moments from our 2021 interview with him.
Lowry, who previously worked at The Weather Channel, just announced he'll be joining WPLG-TV in Miami, Florida. When Lowry talked with the Carolina Weather Group in 2021, he was a strategic planner for FEMA's fourth district, which covers North Carolina, South Carolina, and much of the Deep South.

Duke Energy's solar panel rebate program expires this year, and faith groups such as the North Carolina Council of Churches and Interfaith Power and Light are urging churches across the state to take advantage of the program during National Faith Climate Action Week, which begins today.
Anne Hodges-Copple, bishop suffragan of the Diocese of North Carolina, said dozens of North Carolina congregations have saved on energy bills using the program.
"There's all kinds of partners ready to help make this line up in a way that just has a huge benefit to any worshiping community that needs to save money," Hodges-Copple pointed out. "As well as cares about taking care of the earth."
A 2018 survey by the U.S. Energy Information Administration found many commercial buildings, including churches, spend thousands of dollars a year on lighting and space heating and cooling.
Elizabeth Bennett, director of stakeholder engagement for Duke Energy, said churches may be able to receive up to $75,000 in rebates.
"And what the rebate program does is not only provides a rebate for nonprofits who want to install solar, but really helps them through the process," Bennett explained.
She noted church leaders should first look at the program's eligibility requirements and added there are plenty of resources to help congregations start the process.

Tired of tornado warnings in other counties interrupting your television programming? Never again! New technology, beginning to roll out nationwide, could offer a solution.
As broadcast stations across the country deploy ATSC 3.0, a standard more commonly known as NextGen television, a future where severe weather and breaking news coverage is geo-targeted to separate viewers in specific locations is possible.
The new technology, which is expected to be in homes, vehicles, and mobile devices over the next decade, creates new possibilities for TV stations. Unlike traditional television, which broadcasts the same signal to all viewers within the coverage area, the new generation technology allows programming changes to be sent differently to different devices.
Using Internet-based indicators received by the IPTV transmission, viewers not actively under a tornado warning could stay with regular programming, such as live sporting events, while viewers most impacted by life-threatening severe weather could watch live, breaking weather coverage.
Our guest this week on the Carolina Weather Group is John Lawson, who serves as Executive Director of the Advanced Warning and Response Network (AWARN) Alliance, an international coalition of broadcasting, consumer electronics, and professional tech companies. The Alliance is leveraging Next Generation Television (ATSC 3.0) to develop an advanced system for emergency alerting, news, and information.

While fires can certainly be devastating and destructive, fire can - when properly managed - have benefits for the environment.
Our guest this week is Adam Warwick, the Stewardship Manager at The Nature Conservancy - North Carolina Southern Blue Ridge Office. Warwick discusses the ways that renewed forests and woodlands can benefit plants and animals. Officials can manage this environmental cycle through prescribed burns.
In North Carolina and South Carolina, there are two primary fire seasons: In spring and fall when plants are dormant. However, fires can happen any time of year when the conditions are right. Warwick explains the ways to properly manage the risk of fires by knowing when weather conditions such as dry, windy conditions with low humidity can easily create wildfires and brushfires.

The National Weather Service has completed extensive storm surveys detailing the 10 tornadoes confirmed in South Carolina on April 5 and 6. Their investigation found evidence from the historic storms, including an EF-3 tornado in Allendale, Orangeburg, and Bamberg counties that was on the ground for over 35 miles.
Amazingly no one was killed in the Carolinas by these tornadoes.
The storm surveys were a joint collaboration between the National Weather Service office in Columbia, and the National Weather Service in Charleston.

As we begin our stream this week, there is a major severe weather event occurring across portions of the Deep South, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. Thunderstorms are producing life-threatening tornadoes in addition to dangerous hail and winds. We're analyzing the unfolding situation.
We're forecasting ahead to Thursday. This is when the same cold front currently producing storms off to our west arrives in the Carolinas. While we expect the storm threat to be less severe than seen Wednesday, there is still a chance for some severe thunderstorms Thursday. Some of these storms could be strong enough to produce damaging winds, flash flooding, or an isolated tornado.
We're also revisiting last week's severe weather in the Carolinas, including analyzing the multiple tornadoes the National Weather Service confirmed touchdown in portions of both North Carolina and South Carolina. One of the strongest tornadoes to occur on March 23 was an EF-2 in Pickens, South Carolina.
Plus late-breaking developments on the fire threat across the region, including fires burning near Wears Valley along the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, and in Cumberland County, North Carolina near Fayetteville.

NOAA’s GOES-T launched on March 1, 2022, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
NOAA’s GOES-T is the third satellite in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) – R Series, the Western Hemisphere’s most sophisticated weather-observing and environmental-monitoring system. The GOES-R Series provides advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and monitoring of space weather.
Once in orbit, GOES-T will become known as GOES-18. It will be positioned to monitor weather systems and hazards affecting the western contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, and the Pacific Ocean. In this position, the satellite will be known as "GOES West".
GOES-18 will work in tandem with GOES-16, now serving as "GOES East". Together, these satellites will watch over more than half the globe – from New Zealand to the west coast of Africa. The current GOES West (GOES-17) will become an on-orbit spare.
This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we look at highlights from live NASA TV coverage, as originally seen on the Carolina Weather Net, to learn more about how the weather satellite works.

In his 55 years of life, Ed Piotrowski has never seen a blizzard --- until last week. The chief meteorologist at Myrtle Beach's WPDE-TV left behind the south and traveled to Boston, Massachusetts to experience his first and only blizzard.
He traveled with his wife Cindy, and shared adventures with fellow meteorologist Greg Fishel, who was previously the chief meteorologist at Raleigh's WRAL-TV.
Ed joins the Carolina Weather Group to tell us about his once-in-a-lifetime experience (which, of course, also came at a time when North Carolina and South Carolina were seeing their third straight weekend of winter weather here at home).
The National Weather Service officially considers a winter storm to be a blizzard when for 3 hours or longer there are sustained wind or frequent gusts to 35 miles an hour or greater; and considerable falling and/or blowing snow (i.e., reducing visibility frequently to less than ¼ mile)

Snowfall accumulations at or above four inches are possible in Raleigh, Durham, and Cary, with upwards of eight inches in Elizabeth City. Greenville, North Carolina, and Fayetteville could see four inches of snow.
Icing upwards of 0.30 of an inch is possible in Elizabethtown, New Bern, and Jacksonville. Some ice is even possible in Wilmington.
While some snow is possible in the sandhills of South Carolina, including Chesterfield, Lancaster, and York, the primary threat for South Carolina will be ice, including in Columbia, Florence, Sumter, Camden, and Conway. A coating of ice is also possible along the coast, including Myrtle Beach and Charleston.

Weather forecast confidence is growing that a weekend storm in North Carolina and South Carolina could bring winter weather to parts of the Carolinas Saturday night through Sunday.
The low-pressure system will bring moisture throughout the Carolinas, including snow in the western North Carolina mountains and foothills (including Asheville, Boone, Blowing Rock, Morganton, and Hickory).
Uncertainty remains but temperatures could allow winter precipitation - snow, sleet, freezing rain, or ice - to fall throughout the Piedmont and Interstate 85 corridor. Locations that should be monitoring for potential impacts from a winter storm include but are not limited to: Greenville, Spartanburg, Charlotte, Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, and Durham. As the days draw closer to the weekend, the forecast is expected to develop to better pinpoint which Carolina cities could see snow, ice or, rain.
Impacts from winter weather include freezing temperatures, downed trees, power outages, and hazardous travel conditions.
Confidence is high that the coast of Carolina will likely see all rain. This would include locations such as Hilton Head, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Wilmington.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing winter weather forecast. Jared Smith, from his studio in Charleston, offers this forecast update.

Very tiny new satellites could make it easier to see, predict, and forecast tropical weather.
Compared to traditional satellites, this train of nanosatellites will collect more frequent measurements around the globe, allowing scientists to study storms as they develop and then use the newly-acquired knowledge to improve forecasting capabilities. While smaller, these new satellites can send back more frequent data than traditional polar-orbiting satellites.
Our guest this week on the Carolina Weather Group is Wired Magazine Reporter Meghan Herbst, who covered the satellites for the technology publication.
The satellite launched on June 30, 2021 as the pathfinder – or test – satellite for NASA’s Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats (TROPICS) mission. The Pathfinder satellite provides an opportunity to test the technology, communication systems, and data processing before the six satellites comprising the TROPICS constellation launch in 2022. “[Pathfinder] is like a dress rehearsal of the mission,” said Bill Blackwell, the principal investigator for the TROPICS mission and a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts.
The future TROPICS constellation will orbit Earth in three planes, collecting temperature, water vapor, precipitation, and cloud ice measurements on a frequent, near-global scale to study storms and other meteorological events.
The TROPICS research team includes researchers from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and several universities and commercial partners.
Additional satellites are expected to launch in 2022.

A special episode of the Carolina Weather Group: The latest on the tornado outbreak across five states, an inside look at those stories of those impacted, and ways for you to help this holiday season.
The tornadoes collapsed an occupied candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, an Amazon warehouse near Edwardsville, Illinois, and a nursing home in Monette, Arkansas.
The people of Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri need our help.
A strong storm system moving across the central and southern United States resulted in widespread severe weather across the region on December 10 and 11. The National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed 61 tornadoes as of Dec. 20, and several long-track tornadoes. Chief among them was the Quad State Tornado, which lasted over 350 miles and over 8 hours.
Overall, the storms traveled from Arkansas towards the Great Lakes. The most significant damage occurred in Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kentucky. Eight states reported tornadoes during the event. The NWS received nearly 400 reports of large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes across the area.
ABC News reports at least 93 people were killed across five states: 78 in Kentucky; six in Illinois; five in Tennessee, after the Associated Press reported an additional death on Saturday; two in Arkansas; and two in Missouri.
HOW TO HELP TORNADO VICTIMS:
- The American Red Cross is making it easy to send a quick $10 donation simply by texting “REDCROSS" addressed to the number, 90999. Other donations can be made by calling 800-733-2767 or visiting https://redcross.org online.
- The Salvation Army has set up a disaster relief fund for the tornado victims: https://give.helpsalvationarmy.org/give/166081/
- North Carolina-based Samaritan's Purse: https://www.samaritanspurse.org/
- Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced a state tornado relief fund: https://secure.kentucky.gov/formservices/Finance/WKYRelief

Eric also outlines the evolution of his career - from television into the age of streaming technology and social media.
From our archive: Hurricane Hugo anniversary special
Starting in 1988, Eric would oversee the creation and growth of Channel 3's functioning weather center as the Queen City's first degreed meteorologist on TV.
As Eric explains, his degree and career track can be attributed to his father: Who encouraged him to seek the weather education ahead of a plan to go into the United States military and flight school. Eric, who had always dreamed of becoming a commercial airline pilot, studied the atmosphere and meteorology in college. A medical limitation that caused him to fail out of basic training, landed him into his storied career as a forecaster.
Eric shares his own personal story of being given up for adoption and the loving family who took him in as their own. Eric has been paying that forward through local efforts in the Charlotte community to help families and children be united through adoption and fostering. Eric is also currently involved in the Carolina Radar project, a cooperative public-private initiative meant to help Charlotte solve its radar coverage issues.

In this unique opportunity to sit down and talk at WBTV studios, the Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell explains how Eric mentored him into a life of weather. And stay tuned until the very end for surprise messages from Eric's fellow meteorologist - colleagues and competitors alike.

This week, a special edition of the Carolina Weather Group covering the wildfires burning on Pilot Mountain in Surry County, North Carolina, and Pogue Mountain in McDowell County, North Carolina.
Dry weather conditions combined with low humidity and gusty winds have led fire officials to issue a statewide ban on outdoor fires across North Carolina.
Plus breaking news learned just today on the cause of the Grindstone Fire in Pilot Mountain State Park. The North Carolina Forest Service has determined the cause of the fire to be an escaped campfire in an undesignated area. The cause of the Sauratown Mountain Fire, also near Pilot Mountain State Park, was previously determined to be an escaped campfire.
The Carolina Weather Group's Dan Whittaker shares video of roaring flames at Pilot Mountain State Park. WFMY TV meteorologist Christian Morgan joins us to explain how the weather conditions made it prime conditions for this fire to spread so easily.
Plus the Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell visits another wildfire, this one burning on Pogue Mountain in McDowell County, NC.
We also visit our 2020 conversation with the North Carolina Forest Service, who shared with us that 98% of wildfires in North Carolina are caused by humans. We'll also revisit tips they shared on how you can protect your home against the threat of wildfire.
We examine the weather forecast for both North Carolina and South Carolina to see if and when rain could return, and how much of an impact it could have on our ongoing drought.

A large, wind-driven fire is burning on Pilot Mountain, located northwest of Winston-Salem in North Carolina.
200 to 300 acres have burned, according to local reports, and what you're seeing here is new imagery from the Carolina Weather Group's Dan Whittaker, who spent the day on the ground there Sunday.
By nightfall Sunday, the fire was climbing up and towards the knob. You can see that here in this new post from Dan.
Dan will continue to send back photos and videos just as firefighters continue to try and get this fire under control.
The weather is not making things easier for firefighters.
Dry, windy conditions have allowed the fire to grow to this size and things don't get immediately better. A cold front means winds gusty around 20 mph Monday will continue to make fire containment a challenge.
You'll remember, we're dramatically behind on rain. Here's a look at the drought monitor. Combine that with low humidity, and you have prime conditions for fires.
You'll notice all of our video is recorded from the ground. That's because a no-fly zone has been issued by the FAA. Please, don't fly any drones in the area. Firefighters are using aircraft to aid in the firefighting efforts.
This same fire danger exists across much of the Carolinas. Now is not the time to be burning leaves or starting a campfire.
Matter of fact, I'm holding the latest adversary here from the National Weather Service and they warn, in no uncertain terms, "There is an increased threat of fires growing out of control on Monday due to a combination of low humidity around 30 percent or lower during the afternoon, northwest winds gusting above 30 mph, and dry fuels" - meaning leaves, brush, grasses and more.
The cause of the Pilot Mountain fire is not yet known. Luckily the Pilot Mountain State Park campground was safely evacuated without any injuries. The park remains closed for the immediate future.
We'll get to provide updates here on the Carolina Weather Group YouTube channel. You'll also be notified of a new episode for our weekly Wednesday night show. Our guest this week: James Spann, host of Weather Brains and chief meteorologist at ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama.
For now, from Charlotte, I'm James Brierton.

Dr. Greg Postel is the hurricane and storm specialist at The Weather Channel. You'll often see his expert analysis and insight from the network's Lab during severe weather coverage.
Born in Philadelphia and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, Postel fell in love with the weather at an early age. His childhood of snow in the winter and coastal hazards in the summer, created a lifelong passion for atmospheric science.
He earned an M.S. and Ph.D from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Postel's strong interest in tropical weather led him to a post-doctoral scientist position in Wisconsin, where he studied the development of tropical cyclones from African wave disturbances, according to his Weather Channel bio. A decade-long stint in the weather derivatives sector-led Greg and his family to Kansas City, where he helped direct weather-risk management operations, focusing on weather predictability and forecast uncertainty.
On this week's episode of the Carolina Weather Group, Postel talks about tropical trends seen throughout our recent seasons, including the increasingly common rapid intensification of storms right before landfall. He also discusses whether the Saharian air layer helps or hurts tropical development.
Postel also shares his first counter with legendary Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore, who Postel first met hurricane chasing in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina years before the two would become cable colleagues.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale was developed in 1969 by Herbert Saffir and Bob Simpson and introduced to the public in 1973. Saffir developed the initial scale when he realized there was no simple scale for describing the effects of hurricanes. He devised a 1-5 scale based on the wind speeds of a storm and the expected damage to structures. Simpson collaborated and added on storm surge and pressure. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) eliminated the components of pressure and storm surge in 2009, transforming it into a pure wind scale known as the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
Athena Masson and William Gough think they have a better way to classify hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and they call it the Masson-Gough Hurricane Scale. Their method combines previous components such as wind, barometric pressure, and storm surge as well as new potential elements that will measure an approaching tropical cyclone: size, precipitation, forward speed, and extratropical transition.

Do you know which has a greater chance of occurring: a low risk of thunderstorms, or a slight risk of tornadoes? The wording used to convene probability and risk across the weather enterprise is not standardized and thus not widely understood.
University of Oklahoma graduate students Emily Lenhardt and Rachael Cross discuss their findings from "How Likely is That Chance of Thunderstorms? A Study of How National Weather Service Forecast Offices Use Words of Estimative Probability and What They Mean to the Public," paperwork they co-wrote along with Makenzie Krocak, Joseph Ripberger, Sean Ernst, Carol Silva, and Hank Jenkins-Smith.
Their argument: No forecast is ever certain, as no meteorological phenomenon is guaranteed to occur. As such, the uncertainty in forecast information should be communicated in a way that makes sense to end-users.
The researchers examined nearly 9,000 tweets from National Weather Service offices across the United States. Their findings: Only 3 tweets accurately convened the true probability of the forecast.
The terms used in these tweets were "generally vague, unqualified notions of probability that may impede the public’s ability to interpret the information hat forecasters are trying to communicate."
Now the findings from this study are being used to improve forecast communications.

Fred, a tropical storm that made landfall in Florida Monday, is bringing with it rich, tropical moisture that will produce flash flooding and severe weather, including damaging winds and tornadoes, in North Carolina and South Carolina Tuesday.
Rainfall rates could be as intense as 1 to 2 inches an hour, with total rainfall amounts between 5 and 10 inches possible. There will be a risk of flash flooding, including landslides. The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center is calling for a "moderate" risk of flashing flooding Tuesday in western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina. Locations include, but are not limited to, Asheville, Greeville, Spartanburg, and Clemson.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlined locations including Charlotte, Statesville, Hickory, Boone, Blowing Rock, Greenboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, and more in a Slight Risk, which is a tier 2 out of 5 for the possibility of severe weather. Storms could produce damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes.
Meanwhile the National Hurricane Center is continuing to track Fred:
- Through Tuesday, heavy rainfall may lead to considerable flash, urban, small stream, and isolated river flooding impacts across portions of the Florida Big Bend and Panhandle. By the middle of
the week as Fred lifts north and inland, heavy rainfall and flooding will impact the southern and central Appalachians, the Piedmont of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Landslides are possible across the mountains of North Carolina and Blue Ridge Escarpment on Tuesday.
-
Dangerous storm surge inundation is ongoing along portions of the coast of the Florida Panhandle and the Florida Big Bend region.
-
Tropical storm conditions will continue along the coastline within the warning area over the next few hours and will continue to spread farther inland later today and tonight across portions of the Florida Panhandle, southwestern Georgia, and southeastern Alabama.

Starting this week, the National Weather Service will be issuing a new tier of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings that will automatically be delivered to your cell phone.
Severe thunderstorms capable of producing 80 mph winds or baseball-sized hail will now be categorized as "destructive," a classification that will prompt the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) to sound on your phone if you are near the storm.
The WEA functionality already delivers severe weather alerts to your phone for all tornado warnings and select flash flood warnings.
The change is a part of a multi-year effort by the National Weather Service to simplify their severe weather hazards and make them more assemble.
This week to help understand the change, we're looking back at part of an interview with Trisha Palmer, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service Office in Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Smoke from wildfires in Oregon, California, Canada, and the western Pacific are traveling in the jet stream across the United States. Smoke and haze conditions are being seen across the East Coast, including in North Carolina and South Carolina. Big cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington are even seeing the smoke.
As a result of the degraded atmospheric conditions, air quality alerts have been issued in the Carolinas. Particulars in the air may make it hard for some - especially the elderly, the young, and those with respiratory conditions - to breathe. For those individuals, officials are encouraging you to stay inside with the doors and windows closed.
A filter, such as the one in your central air condition unit, can help filter the atmosphere inside your house.
Carolina Weather Group panelist Evan Fisher compares photos of "current conditions" with "normal photos" taken in the same spot. Evan explains this process in this week's episode of the Carolina Weather Group.

North Carolina has a radar gap Mike Smith, a retired AccuWeather executive, identifies as the fifth-worst gap in the United States. The gap exists over a portion of central North Carolina located outside the Greensboro and Charlotte metropolitan areas. While many have proposed the construction of a full-scale National Weather Service WSR-88D radar in Charlotte, Smith feels that is not the answer. Smith, who was a plaintiff expert in the litigation following the crash of US Airways Flight 1016 in Charlotte in 1994, feels Charlotte is safely covered by the terminal doppler radar installed by the FAA after the crash.

For the first time since 2019, flooding in Charleston Saturday prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Flash Flood Warning.
The South Carolina coastal city is no stranger to flooding. The city's downtown historic district typically floods during heavy rains - but as heavy rains caused floodwaters to rise and push into downtown businesses, including the Historic Charleston City Market, exceptional flooding occurred beyond what has become all-too-normal.
This week, we're looking at how this flooding is different than past flooding - and what can be done to help the residents, businesses, and tourists.
We'll chat with a resident who was an eyewitness to flooding that occurred Saturday, and again on Tuesday, during severe storms.
We'll also talk about severe thunderstorms that produced damaging winds in the form of microburst and macrobursts in both North Carolina and South Carolina.
Plus a look at the Atlantic tropical outlook, which has a tropical system likely to form in the Gulf of Mexico before bringing tropical moisture to the Southeast.

After storms and natural disasters, wireless companies you depend on for keeping your cell phones connected will respond with their own resources to restore connectivity.
Companies like Verizon Wireless deploy specialized storm response teams to get communities reconnected as soon as possible.
Diana Alvear is a communications manager for Verizon Wireless and joins the Carolina Weather Group to explain how her company utilizes fleets of trucks, generators, and satellites to reestablish wireless service in an impacted region. The teams respond in the wake of hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, and other natural disasters.
Wireless companies may decide to quickly establish temporary wireless towers - such as those powered by generators and attached to the back of a truck - while engineers and technicians make repairs to the permanent network.

Dan Whittaker, is a storm chaser and panelist on the Carolina Weather Group. On April 27, 2011, Dan had left his home in North Carolina to chase what would become a historic tornado outbreak across Alabama and the South.
In this bonus conversation with his fellow panelists, Dan recounts his storm chase through Cullman, Alabama, where he recorded video of an EF-4 tornado. That same tornado, with max winds of 175 mph, also traveled through Morgan and Marshall during its 47 mph journey on the ground. At its widest point, the tornado was a mile wide.
Across Alabama, there were 62 tornadoes that killed 352 people.
On this tenth anniversary of the historic tornado outbreak, the Carolina Weather Group also talked with James Spann. Spann, who is the chief meterologist of ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama, and the host of the weather podcast Weatherbrains, was on the air that day tracking the deadly storms across his state.

When 62 tornadoes hit the state of Alabama on April 27, 2011, it killed 352 people across the state.
James Spann, who is the chief meteorologist at ABC 33/40 in Birmingham and the host of the Weatherbrains podcast, looks back at the tornado outbreak that leaves him shaken 10 years later.
Spann was on the air during this once-in-a-lifetime event broadcasting to his audience throughout Alabama. A skycam operated by his television station recorded one of the most devasting tornadoes of the day: The EF-4 tornado that came through Cullman, Alabama. That same tornado, with max winds of 175 mph, also traveled through Morgan and Marshall during its 47 mph journey on the ground. At its widest point, the tornado was a mile wide.
To tell the story of April 27, 2011, one has to recognize that there were two distinct waves of widespread severe weather in Central Alabama. The first wave of severe storms moved through during the early morning hours across northern portions of Central Alabama in the form of a Quasi-Linear Convective System (QLCS). This intense line of thunderstorms produced not only widespread damaging straight-line winds in the areas of Moody, Pell City, and Riverside, but numerous strong tornadoes.
The second wave, which began with the Hackleburg EF-5 tornado, involved numerous supercell thunderstorms which produced deadly long-lived, strong to violent tornadoes across the northern two-thirds of Central Alabama. Widespread and catastrophic damage was sustained in several locations.

On the anniversary of one of the worst tornado outbreaks in Carolina history, we take a look back at the setup and resulting tornadoes.
Our guest this week is John Quagliariello, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Columbia, South Carolina.
On April 13, 2020, there were 77+ tornadoes across the entire Southeast.
For John Q and his colleagues, they found themselves in the middle of the 4th largest tornado outbreak on record for South Carolina stretching from the overnight hours of April 12th through the morning of April 13.
In the four offices that cover South Carolina, there were 36 tornadoes that touched down, including 28 total in South Carolina.
John's office alone, which covers the Midlands of South Carolina and the Central Savannah River area of Georgia, saw 8 tornadoes, including 5 EF3's, 2 EF2's, and 1 EF1.
Unfortunately, there were 77 injuries and nine fatalities with the 36 tornadoes in South Carolina. Seven of those injuries and two of the fatalities occurred with the EF3 that struck Livingston, SC in our forecast area.

A new feature on CarolinaWeatherGroup.com will help you get outdoors safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our "Parkway Map" updates daily to show you which portions of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia are open to traffic. Whether you're looking to take a day trip, a weekend, or an extended vacation, the new map will allow you to plan ahead and avoid those pesky barriers. SEE THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY CLOSURE MAP: https://carolinaweathergroup.com/is-the-blue-ridge-parkway-open-closed/ The map comes as North Carolina has received more than 100 applications for conservation projects this year, an increase environmental groups say was driven by the spike in public demand for access to trails, parks, and natural areas during the pandemic. North Carolina State Director for The Conservation Fund Bill Holman said proposals also include projects to protect and restore floodplains, which can buffer communities from flooding, and stream restoration efforts to protect drinking water. He added that last year, more North Carolinians spent time outdoors than ever before. "In 2020, almost 20 million people visited North Carolina State Parks," said Holman. "That's a record." Holman points out the more than $76 million in requested funding far surpasses the $13 million available from the North Carolina Land and Water Fund. Holman noted that before the 2008 recession, the state spent around $150 million on conservation projects, but that amount has decreased steadily in the past decade. He said he hopes state lawmakers funnel more money into the fund, which has bipartisan support. Fred Annand - director of conservation resources with The Nature Conservancy in North Carolina - said climate change has added another layer of urgency to the state's conservation efforts. "As we see sea-level rise having an impact on our shorelines," said Annand, "as we see natural areas slowly disappearing, and the importance of - again, connectivity - of giving wildlife an avenue to seek a higher gradient." Meanwhile, the COVID-19 crisis has presented challenges for those working to preserve and protect natural areas. Annand said it's uncertain how the pandemic will affect long-term conservation goals. "Trying to meet with landowners safely and to negotiate transactions, and to determine where matching funds will come from as well," said Annand, "that certainly has impacted our work." In addition to reducing air and water pollution and improving soil quality, research shows protecting land also has economic benefits. One Harvard study found land conservation modestly increases employment rates, likely by creating new jobs in tourism and recreation industries. Special Thanks to Nadia Ramlagan, of the Public News Service - NC, for the broader context in this report about the interest in expanding the state's state park options.

The National Weather Service in Raleigh has confirmed three tornadoes that occurred during Thursday’s severe storms in North Carolina. No injuries or deaths have been reported as a result of these tornadoes, but several homes were severely damaged with roofs ripped off. Surveys are still ongoing, so all ratings are preliminary.
A long-lived cell dropped the first tornado southeast of High Point at 5:01 PM, blowing down trees and powerlines. Initial reports suggest structural damage occurred near I-85, with major roof damage in the area. It stayed on the ground for roughly a mile before lifting, with peak winds estimated around 85 mph.
The same cell went on to produce another tornado to the east of Greensboro, touching down just north of I-40. It carved a discontinuous 2.5-mile damage path towards Elon, NC before lifting around 5:44 PM. The initial damage survey found significant tree and roof damage, thus earning the tornado an EF-1 rating.
The last tornado from this cell occurred a little after 6 PM in a remote portion of Orange County, NC. Despite traveling through a sparsely populated area, it managed to rip the roof off of one home on Pentecost Road. It has been awarded a preliminary EF-1 rating.
Elsewhere in the Carolinas, scattered reports of wind damage and small hail accompanied strong to severe thunderstorms. A damaged barn led to the deployment of a survey team near Roanoke Rapids, where they found evidence of straight-line winds up to 88 mph.

An unknown number of people were trapped after a tornado caused structural and home damage in Brunswick County, North Carolina late Monday night, the county emergency manager tells the National Weather Service.
The damage was reported in the Windsor Circle area of Ocean Ridge Plantation, located near Highway 17 and Highway 904, after the tornado moved through the community around 11:38 p.m. et Monday.
The tornado then continued to the northeast at 50 mph. A tornado warning remained in effect for communities stretching 25 miles to the northwest of the known damage.
Meteorologists from the National Weather Service office in Wilmington, North Carolina will likely survey the damage Tuesday to learn more about the impacts - and the strength - of the tornado.

Lamar Advertising Company has announced they will run severe weather and emergency alerts on its digital billboards.
The emergency alerts, provided through FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS), will be displayed on select Lamar digital billboards throughout the country. IPAWS is FEMA's national system for local alerting that provides authenticated emergency and life-saving information to the public through mobile phones, radio, television and internet-based services.
“Between the ongoing pandemic and a record number of hurricanes, this has been an unprecedented year for emergency alerts,” said FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor. “By integrating IPAWS across Lamar's national digital billboard network, we have yet another channel to convey potentially life-saving information to the American public.”
More than 1,500 federal, state, local, tribal and territorial alerting authorities use IPAWS to convey information about severe weather, missing children and other public safety emergencies. IPAWS alerts have already appeared on Lamar digital billboards in 17 states and are available to run in all 43 states that Lamar covers.
When an alerting authority issues an emergency alert, Lamar offices in the affected regions will have the ability to automatically broadcast that alert on available digital billboard space in the region affected by the alert. Alerts will be displayed for 30 minutes at a time. Not all alerts sent through FEMA will appear on a Lamar billboard.

Winter weather can be hard to predict and forecast. The slightest changes in atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, and wind, can make dramatic changes to a weather forecast. Combine that with elevation and surface conditions, and the variables could make your forecast a bust or a boom.
This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we look at the tricky science that answers the question: Will that precipitation been snow, sleet, freezing rain, or rain? Special thanks this week to WCNC Charlotte.
We had hoped to bring you our yearend interview with The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore this week. Jim was sent to the Northeast to cover the big winter storm. We hope to talk to him soon and bring you that conversation in the coming weeks. And that means you still have time to submit your questions for Jim.
We're off next week but will be back December 30 with our own 2020 highlight reel.

When the floodwaters receded, mold growth follows. Researchers at the University of South Carolina have found that substantial flooding is more than an inconvenience. It is making mold a growing threat along the East Coast and in the Palmetto State. In Eastern North Carolina, more people make trips to hospital emergency departments for asthma treatments than in any other part of the state, say researchers at East Carolina University. The researchers have been focusing on the connection between climate change and asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease, in the eastern counties. Nadia Ramlagan, of North Carolina News Service, travels to communities including Nichols and Sellars in South Carolina, and Bayboro and south Lumberton in North Carolina.

This week, we're tracking Hurricane Delta, which has weakened to a Category 1 storm after making landfall Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Delta will strengthen - possibly up to Category 3 status - over the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall along the gulf coast Friday.
From there, Delta will be onshore, where it will weaken as it brings rains across the Southeast -- including in the Carolinas. While what's left of Delta's low pressure circulation will remain outside the Carolinas, several inches of rain will fall over the holiday weekend. Rainfall totals as high as 4 inches are possible especially across the higher elevations of the North Carolina mountains, foothills, and South Carolina upstate.

As of the late night advisory from the National Hurricane Center Sunday, there is one hurricane, one tropical storm, two depressions, and 3 other areas of interest in the Atlantic Ocean. Most of them will disappear without any impacts, but a few could be the real thing.
One of the storms expected to make a major impact is Tropical Storm Sally. The storm will be landfall as a hurricane Tuesday in Louisiana, Alabama, or Mississippi. A 170-miles of coast, including New Orleans and Mobile, should be preparing for life threatening conditions.
Hurricane Paulette is impacting Bermuda on this Monday.
And Tropical Depression Twenty will soon become Teddy, who in the coming days will strengthen to a major hurricane. In the days to come, it remains out at sea and away from any harmful impact. In the long term, the storm requires monitoring and tracking.
This amount of activity in the Atlantic Ocean is a lot, but not completely unexpected. September 10 was the statistic peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season -- and September and October remain the most likely times for the Carolinas to see an impactful hurricane. The evidence is in the history books, which is where Chris Mulcahy from WCNC Charlotte's First Warn Storm Team went. He tells us that this time of year is when North Carolina and South Carolina sees the worst hurricanes.

A comet visiting from the most distant parts of our solar system is putting on a spectacular early morning display. Named Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE, the comet made its once-in-our-lifetimes close approach to the Sun on July 3, and will cross outside Earth's orbit on its way back to the outer parts of the solar system.
People wishing to catch a glimpse of the glowing comet can spot it as it swings through the inner solar system, but its nearness to the Sun creates some observing challenges.
For the next few days it will be visible about an hour before sunrise, close to the horizon in the northeastern sky in the United States. Observers might be able to see the comet's central core, or nucleus, with the naked eye in dark skies; using binoculars will give viewers a good look at the fuzzy comet and its long, streaky tail. As it speeds away from the Sun, Comet NEOWISE will begin to make its appearance in the evening sky shortly after sunset on July 11.
NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) mission discovered the icy visitor on March 27, 2020, using its two infrared channels, which are sensitive to the heat signatures given off by the object as the Sun started to turn up the heat.

In the midst of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, storm chasers are trying to keep themselves safe from both the weather and the virus. Chasers and storm spotters provide essential on-the-ground, eyewitness reports of severe weather. With more people staying at home, what will the weather enterprise look like with less reporting?
Storm chasers, including Live Storm Media's Brett Adair, photographer Mike Olbinski, and storm surveyor Tim Marshall, join us to explain how their lifestyle on the road has changed amid the pandemic, including less eating out and more nights sleeping in the car. They also discuss their decision making into when and how to chase; to keep themselves safe from both the weather and the virus.
We're also joined by Kevin Smith from the the National Weather Service who receives and analyzes storm reports from chasers and spotters.
