WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — There’s an increasing chance of severe weather Tuesday across the Cape Fear.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed the entire region under an enhanced risk (level 3 out of 5) for severe storms.
The threat includes the risk of tornadoes and strong, damaging wind.
The latest model guidance suggests a two part risk of severe weather. Discrete cells could form out ahead of the main line during the early afternoon, carrying the greatest tornado risk. Then a squall line will move through during the evening, bringing the risk for strong wind gusts.
Stay tuned to WWAY over the next couple of days. The StormTrack 3 weather team will have the very latest.
