August 10, 2023 Not everything is tornado damage. Understanding straight-line winds [Ep. 461]
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.

August 07, 2023 Enhanced severe storm threat Monday [SPECIAL]
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

August 02, 2023 NASA behind the science tour: Encore episode
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.

July 27, 2023 How to track lightning for free [Ep. 460]
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.

July 20, 2023 EF-3 tornado: Nash County, North Carolina | Ep. 459
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.

Join the Carolina Weather Group for live, breaking news details on the aftermath of this severe weather in the Carolinas.
