The WRAL Severe Weather Center has you covered spring, summer, fall and winter.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season will see 15 to 20 named storms forming in the Atlantic basin, according to researchers at North Carolina State University.
Partly cloudy and partly sunny are pretty much the same thing, according to the National Weather Service.
It is almost time for the turkeys to be stuffed and the house filled with the amazing sights and smells of Thanksgiving! Of course, the weather forecast becomes even more important when plans are being made on when to travel. We are already starting to get several indications of the weather that the atmosphere may dish out.
An inside baseball look at forecasting and why the forecast on your phone and what you see on TV is a completely different package.

Even though hurricane season officially begins on June 1, we could see our first named storm this month.

WRAL has been using ensemble forecasts to put together our snow forecasts behind the scenes for years. Now, WRAL has the exclusive ability to show you that data on TV. Let's take this weekend for example.

Expect to wake up to some lingering rain on Wednesday -- but don't worry -- we will progressively dry out during the morning commute.

After a day of wind, downed trees and flash floods, the Triangle finally quieted down on Thursday evening. However, there is storm potential in the next four days of the seven-day forecast.
Thursday is a pleasant, cooler day in the 70s; but the weekend could feature the hottest day of summer so far. Monday could bring rain and storms.
Friday brings one more warm day before a much cooler and cloudier weekend.
A cold front on the way means rain and cooler temperatures for the holiday weekend.

A swath of severe weather rolled through central NC on Saturday, dropping hail, causing power outages and spawning a few tornado warnings. More severe weather is expected for Sunday.
This weekend will be a little taste of springtime, with warm temperatures in the 70s and a chance for patchy rain showers on Sunday.
After a chilly, but mostly dry morning, Friday's forecast brings a rainy afternoon and a messy evening commute.
Prepare for a ride on NC's weather roller coaster. The Triangle has a week of unsettled weather, with temperatures and rain chances rising and falling throughout the weekend and upcoming week.
As scattered showers decrease around the Triangle on Monday afternoon, colder temperatures are set to move in.

The line of showers will impact the Triangle through about 3:30 p.m., WRAL meteorologist Zach Malock said, and our eastern counties from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The Triangle will be waking up to freezing or near-freezing temperatures for the next several mornings, as we enter a weather pattern with temps below normal for this time of year.
Unfortunately for winter weather lovers, the Triangle woke up to a cold, rainy morning.
Depending on how the system comes in, parts of NC could see anything from cold rain, to slush, to snow.
Parts of central NC have potential for snow, slush or rain -- depending on where you live, and how the system shifts. WRAL is tracking the system and will provide updates as the system develops.
Depending on how far north you live, parts of NC woke up to either snow, sleet, freezing rain -- or just rain. What can you expect for your area?
There is a chance for flurries and freezing rain from the Triangle northward late Saturday night and Sunday, according to WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze.
Rain and ice could be prevalent from the Triangle northward late Saturday night and Sunday, according to WRAL meteorologist Zach Maloch.
Could more snow and ice be on the way this weekend? WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner explains what the models are showing.
