If you weren’t under a Tornado Warning, you were at least under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 8 p.m. The main threat for these regions are damaging winds and large hail.
After 8 p.m., Meteorologist Robert Johnson said to expect a warm and cloudy night with patchy fog developing — but not as heavy as this morning.
What are straight-line winds and how do they form
As a potent low-pressure system passes through the Northeast Sunday, a cold front tied to the system will sweep across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic Sunday night into Monday. This is expected to bring another round of rain and gusty thunderstorms. Around the Triangle, damaging winds will be a possible threat.
