Severe Weather potential for Saturday -- Video Blog

It's springtime now, and we're going to have to have more of these severe weather talks.

Maybe you've seen it circling around the web in the last week, maybe not -- but there's a certain waterfall out there that's tricking people into thinking it's not a wate

Snow in North Carolina -- but not here! Warmth will come back

After a few wet days, welcome back to the drier side of things. It was almost weird watching/hearing/feeling it rain in such a constant way this weekend.

Storms keep heading our way, but winter's running out of time!

VIDEO BLOG: Roller Coaster temperature ride continues! 2 warm-ups and a cool down lie ahead.

I've gotten a lot of 'complaints' that Mother Nature just can't make up her mind this winter. To an extent, that's true.

VIDEO BLOG: Severe Weather potential for Wed. Cold air coming back!

Hard to believe it, but again in the dead of winter we'll be looking at a severe weather threat.

Say goodbye to the cold, at least for now. Below normal is being replaced by above normal temps as we head toward the weekend, with some other changes too.

VIDEO BLOG: It's COLD out there! Patience my friends, patience.

Wow! What a morning out there.
