Carolina Weather Group

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.
