Website Redesign
Written by Owner Trevor Boyle
Updated March 12, 9:12 AM
We are in the midst of redesigning the website. You will notice that several changes have
already taken place to the home page and Raleigh forecast page. We have also been working
on the site map so you can navigate more easily.
We will be doing a complete rebuild of the header on all the pages. This of course will take time
and the website may look inconsistent.
Please use the contact form to send us any comments or suggestions for the new site design.

El Nino Will Have Impact On Spring
Written by meteorologist Trevor Boyle
Updated March 11, 11:36 AM
A typical El Nino Spring here in the south is cooler and wetter than normal. Which means a
storm system will bring precipitation to the area on average every 3 to 5 days.
Although we can't say for certain how much precipitation will across the south, we will likely
receive 200% to 300% of our normal rainfall during the period March through May. This would
lead to widespread flooding across the south. Residents are urged to keep updated on the
latest forecasts and to have an emergency plan should flooding occur and you are forced to
evacuate.
Also, we typically see an increased number of severe weather events during an El Nino Spring.
Again, we can't forecast how many, when or where these may occur. But at this time we have
reason to believe that increased number of damaging wind and large hail reports will occur this
Spring. As for tornadoes, these are not very common on the east coast and trying to predict the
number we will receive would be stupid. All I can say at this point is to be prepared, know where
you will go in the event of a tornado warning.
It's too early to tell if El Nino will stick around for Summer. But our typical weather pattern is a
high pressure just off the south east coast. Which translates to hot and dry across the south
east U.S. Also, a typical El Nino summer would lead to fewer Atlantic Hurricanes. It doesn't
mean we would have less impacts on the U.S. Mainland.
So, whether you are cold and wet or hot and dry, please be prepared for whatever mother nature
throws your way this year.
