Hail possible as strong to severe storms roll through the Carolinas ahead of nice weekend
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — Happy Friday! Unfortunately, the end of the workweek is bringing us a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day! We have to stay weather aware for strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon.
This morning is starting mainly quiet, but we do have some low clouds, drizzle, and areas of dense fog to start the day. Warm and muggy start as well, with temperatures in the 60s across much of the region. Temperatures will get near 80 degrees this afternoon.
Storms will move into the mountains around noon Friday and advance towards Charlotte around 3 pm. The main threats from storms later that day will be damaging wind gusts and large hail. However, a brief and weak spin-up tornado can't be ruled out as the line of storms moves through. The broken line of storms should exit the Queen City News viewing area by 6 pm.
Behind the main line of storms, we could see a few more isolated downpours and rumbles of thunder. Expect clearing tonight, with temperatures falling back into the 50s.
This weekend will feature cool starts in the 50s and seasonable afternoons with high temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. A few spotty showers are possible this weekend, especially along and north of I-40.
Mother Nature will be turning up the heat next week, with high temperatures climbing towards the 90-degree mark by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Be safe and have a great weekend!

Blue Origin completes 12th human flight to space
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Space technology company Blue Origin successfully completed its 12th human spaceflight and the 32nd flight for the New Shepard program on Saturday morning, May 31. The launch took place from the company's facility outside of Van Horn and took a human crew to the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. The crew included: K-12 STEM teacher Aymette Medina Jorge; radiologist turned explorer Dr. Gretchen Green; former Panamanian ambassador to the United States Jaime Alemán; businessman Jesse Williams; aerospace executive Mark Rocket; and entrepreneur Paul Jeris. Including Saturday's crew, New Shepard has now flown 64 people into space — including four who have flown twice — among them scientific researchers, educators, physicians, explorers, and entrepreneurs. 'We thank our customers for trusting us to give them the opportunity to appreciate Earth's fragility from above, an experience that truly transforms those who embark on it,' said Phil Joyce, senior vice president of New Shepard. 'We look forward to seeing what our remarkable crew will do with this experience. I am proud of our team's dedication in making these moments possible.' Here is what Blue Origin said about the New Shepard program: 'Named after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space, New Shepard is Blue Origin's fully reusable, autonomous suborbital rocket system built to fly humans and scientific payloads to space. The rocket is powered by one BE-3PM engine, which is fueled by a highly efficient and clean combination of liquid hydrogen and oxygen. During flight, the only byproduct of New Shepard's engine combustion is water vapor, with no carbon emissions.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
