Tornado Watches And Warnings: VA, NC and SC [pictures]
-
It’s been a relatively quiet start to the severe weather season this year.
To date, not one tornado of EF3 intensity or stronger has been observed anywhere in the U.S. In addition, no tornado-related deaths have been recorded thus far in the U.S. in 2014 through April 24.

However, the weather pattern is now changing and it appears the threat of severe weather will ramp up through the next five days or so.
If you live from the Plains eastward into parts of the Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and South, take note: A potentially significant severe weather threat, including tornadoes, is forecast to develop this weekend and continue into early next week.
Severe Weather Setup
Disturbance Moves InUnstable Air Coupled with Wind Shear
Heading into the weekend, a strong, upper-level disturbance will travel east from the Rocky Mountains into the nation’s midsection. As it does so, it will pull warm, moist air ahead of it into the central and southern Plains. Warm, moist air is buoyant, and it will easily rise, especially with a few hours of sunshine. This rising air is called atmospheric instability, and it will provide the “fuel” necessary to sustain severe thunderstorms. MOREHERE
