Carolinas and Southern Mid-Atlantic Severe Storms Final Scorecard, Nov 6, 2026

Carolinas and southern Mid-Atlantic severe storms (Nov 6, 2026) maps National Weather Service tornado, hail, and wind reports inside the stored search area. No tornado, hail, or wind report verified for this storm. That is the stored result. The final scorecard grades the archived Day 1 severe outlook for each date against the stored local storm reports. That score stays as it was written. The damage map keeps National Weather Service tornado, hail, and wind reports for the central and eastern Carolinas and the coastal southern Mid-Atlantic, inside the stored search area. Raleigh–Durham, Greenville–New Bern–Washington, Wilmington, Myrtle Beach–Florence, Norfolk–Portsmouth–Newport News, and Salisbury are tracked markets in that area. Raleigh, Wilmington, and Wakefield are the National Weather Service offices for those airports. Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston, Greensboro, Richmond, Baltimore, and Philadelphia sit outside it. The date is Friday, November 6. Friday's risk is a marginal threat of isolated strong to severe storms, with a damaging gust or a brief tornado possible, across parts of the central and eastern Carolinas and the coastal southern Mid-Atlantic. The Day 1 convective outlook valid from 12Z November 6 through 12Z November 7 is the window. Day 2 and Day 3 have no severe thunderstorm area, so this page closes after Friday, November 6. Flood and heavy-rain reports for the East Coast and southeastern New England stay on the heavy-rain page.

November 6, 2026: no stored report fell during this outlook.

The technical details

The grade uses the Storm Prediction Center Day 1 categorical outlook issued at 1630 UTC for each event date, from the public archive GeoJSON named day1otlk_YYYYMMDD_1630_cat.lyr.geojson. Later updates at 2000 UTC and 0100 UTC are not used, and neither are the 0600 UTC or 1300 UTC issuances. One issuance keeps every date on the same product. A report counts when its time is at or after that issuance and before 12 UTC the next day, which is the valid window written on the product. A report exactly at 12 UTC is not in the window. Reports between 12 UTC and 1630 UTC are not graded, because this outlook was not valid yet. A report on the outline counts as inside. A point in more than one outline is counted once, in the higher risk: High, then Moderate, Enhanced, Slight, and Marginal. General thunder is the categorical thunder outline. It is not a Marginal, Slight, Enhanced, Moderate, or High risk, so it is not part of the inside count. The check is the outline itself. A report just outside the line counts as outside. This is not the Storm Prediction Center neighborhood that treats a nearby report as inside. The stored local storm reports are the ones already kept for this event. A day whose archive file could not be fetched has no score. A day that has been graded is not replaced on a later collect.
