Another threat of severe weather arrives Friday afternoon, lasting through late evening

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The second chance for severe weather across the Cape Fear this week arrives Friday afternoon.

This threat comes following Tuesday’s severe storms brought downed trees due to wind gusts of 70+ mph.

The good news with Friday’s threat is it doesn’t appear to be as bad as earlier in the week.

The Storm Prediction Center has the entire area under a Slight Risk for severe storms (level two out of three), a one level decrease from Tuesday.

While a strong to severe storm is possible, with an isolated tornado threat, the coverage we saw Tuesday likely won’t play out Friday.

Even so, stay tuned to the WWAY StormTrack 3 weather team for the latest.
