Loving this image!

















I thought you'd enjoy this image taken from our CHEX TV "Tower Cam" this afternoon. This is a shot looking almost due south around 1:45pm. The front is moving in from the west and you can still see blue sky to the east. It's a great example of how abruptly the weather can change as a cold front approaches. A cold front literally "wedges" itself under warm air already in place often creating a line of powerful storms. When you see cloud development like this it usually means thunderstorm activity is imminent and seeking shelter is a good idea. A big thanks to our technical director Dave Dundas for this awesome shot.

this happens quite a bit with our thunderstorms here in NC.
They have emergency warnings on the radio a lot to warn people that storms are on their way. They track them and keep us updated.
