from Carolina Weather Group · host CarolinaWeatherGroup.com

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issued a rare Moderate Risk (Level 4/5) for the Carolinas this past Monday, but did the forecast actually verify? While over 100 reports of damaging winds rolled in, the expected "tornado outbreak" tells a more complicated story.Tonight, we are joined by Clay Chaney from the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg. Clay led the storm survey in Charlotte, where he officially confirmed an EF-0 tornado that damaged buildings in the Queen City. We also dive into the data behind two additional EF-0 tornadoes confirmed in Madison County, NC.Was the tornado threat a "bust," or did the atmospheric ingredients simply shift? We break down the science of the "Conditional Intensity" and why the wind took center stage over the twist.🎙️ TONIGHT’S PANEL:James Brierton (Charlotte, NC)Frank Strait (Columbia, SC)Sam Walker (Outer Banks, NC)Greg Fishel (Raleigh, NC)Scotty Powell (Myrtle Beach, SC)📍 WHAT WE COVER:Charlotte Tornado Survey: Details on the EF-0 touchdown in the Queen City.The Madison County Spin-ups: Analyzing the two tornadoes in Western NC.Verification vs. Perception: Did the Moderate Risk "verify" based on 100+ wind reports?Atmospheric Forensics: The missing ingredients that prevented a higher-end tornado event.New SPC Tools: Clay explains the new conditional probabilities and hash marks appearing on severe weather outlooks this season.🏁 WE ALSO DISCUSSJellyfish Watch: Sam Walker on the SpaceX Starlink launch visible Thursday morning.NASCAR Forecast: Scotty Powell breaks down the "Too Tough to Tame" weekend at Darlington Raceway#ncwx #scwx #charlotte #tornado #weather #carolinaweather #severeweather #meteorology #NWS#weather #northcarolina #southcarolina #ncwx #scwx #podcast📹 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmhGiYbMDccQcdSjpf87nGg/join🧢 MERCH: https://carolinaweathergroup.qbstores.com/💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.comThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.
