Carolina Weather Group

There is a significant threat for severe weather just in time for Halloween trick-or-treating. The Carolina Weather Group is outlining the threat for damaging winds and tornadoes - and timing out the arrival of storms. Plus we ask the question: Can Halloween be rescheduled? Behind the storms, winter arrives in full swing. Prepare for a sudden temperature drop. To help us understand all of it, our guests: Brad Panovich, chief meteorologist at WCNC-TV in Charlotte, and Tim Buckley, chief meteorologist at WFMY-TV in Greensboro. And a special note about one of our own: Longtime Carolina Weather Group panelist and our dear friend Scotty Powell is asking for your thoughts and prayers. His mother suffered a stroke this past week and remains hospitalized in Charlotte. A fundraising page has been established for anyone interested in helping the family with the cost of food, travel, lodging, and more: https://tinyurl.com/y5bkyy69 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carolinaweather/me
