Christmas Eve into Christmas Day was a wild ride in weather across Eastern North Carolina. An area of low pressure was tracking well to our northwest across the Appalachian Mountains Christmas Eve day, with a very strong trailing cold front. For most of the day we were well removed from the front, but the southerly winds ahead of it pushed temperatures toward 70 degrees over much of Eastern North Carolina by that afternoon. At the same time very strong winds were occurring in the atmosphere just above the surface. These winds increase quickly with height, meaning they were much stronger with increasing elevation. In addition the wind direction changed or veered with height, from southerly near the surface to southwest and eventually westerly thousands of feet up. Instability from the warm temperatures, and the strength of the wind and how it changed with height created conditions favorable for severe thunderstorms producing damaging winds and even tornadoes.
Multiple lines of thunderstorms moved through on Christmas Eve, producing strong winds and in some cases some damage. Multiple severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings were issued. A 71 MPH wind gust was measured at Cedar Island, in far Eastern Carteret County with thunderstorm damage near Pollocksville, in Jones County. Rainfall was mainly under an inch, but more than 2 inches fell from Morehead City north and east, including over 4" on Ocracoke Island. Despite strong southerly winds, we did not experience any major coastal flooding. Some standing rain water was found along NC 12 in Dare County along with windblown sand, but only slow going was reported, no closures. Large waves did impact our coastline, with 22 foot waves reported at Diamond Shoals.

Heavy Rain
The image below shows that most of Eastern North Carolina saw less than an inch of rain. However some heavier rain and thunderstorms began to "train" or move over and over the same areas. This occurred especially from near Morehead City north and east, across the Outer Banks. These areas saw widespread amounts of 1" to 2", with isolated amounts closer to 3".

Strong Winds
As we mentioned above, VERY strong winds will occurring on the afternoon of Christmas Eve into early Christmas morning. Sometimes, especially during the winter months, it can take a heavier shower or thunderstorm to bring these stronger winds to the surface. Other times warm water, such as near the Gulf Stream, can help bring stronger winds down to the waters. The graph below shows the Diamond Shoals Buoy gusted to 60 knots or 69 MPH (just shy of hurricane force (74 MPH) with waves up to 22 feet! The Diamond Shoals buoy is located less than 20 miles off from Cape Point on Hatteras Island.

Radar/Satellite
The radar loop below is from the afternoon of the 24th through mid morning on Christmas Day. Through the evolution of the radar you can see multiple lines of heavier rain and thunderstorms. Note, at the end of the loop the lighter echoes on the radar near Greenville, NC are scattered flurries. Below the radar loop is a IR Satellite Loop (GOES-16) from the same time period.

Low Temperatures
Behind the wind, severe storms and rain, much colder air filtered into our area behind a cold front Christmas Day. Lingering moisture and cold combined to produce a few flurries in place like Greenville and Nags Head. Temperatures held mainly in the 30s or lower 40s Christmas Day, and with the wind it felt more like the 20s at times. Eventually the wind died down, and that allowed temperatures to fall by the morning of the 26th. Many places away from the water fell into the lower to middle 20s. See a summary below.
