Weather Aware: Severe weather expected in the Carolinas Friday

Friday is a Weather Aware Day for the Charlotte region as a line of storms will bring the threat of damaging winds, hail and isolated tornadoes to the Carolinas.

Forecaster Larry Sprinkle says there will be some spotty showers Friday morning ahead of the main line but most of that morning rain will be gone by lunchtime Friday. This period of sunshine will create storm fuel that leads to favorable conditions for severe weather in the Carolinas.

And finally, new data from NerdWallet shows a graduate degree might not be worth it. Seriously! Researchers found the average person with a master's degree earns only about $400,000 more over the course of their lifetime compared to people with bachelor's degrees. Now, there are some variables, like your major and career field, but it's something to think about if you're worried about taking on more student loans.
