Funding lapsed: Key weather data source is offline and its future is in doubt
The Southeast Regional Climate Center (SERCC) provides timely, high quality climate data to the public. But as April 17, 2025, that data is not available to WRAL meteorologists to consider in their forecasts.
Founded in 1989, the office is located in Chapel Hill. Our WRAL Severe Weather Team has developed a great working relationship with them and rely on their data on a daily basis.
"They provide perspective on the weather of the day," said WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner.
WRAL meteorologist Brian Shrader added," Their data puts our weather in context."
WRAL uses SERCC data to:
-track pollen trends so that we can report on the seasonal impacts for allergy sufferers.
-check soil temperature information which is crucial for local agriculture and farming.
-During winter months, we use the soil data to see how fast snow or ice will melt or if anything could stick to the roads.
-answer questions about whether something is a record or out of line with average weather data. If you have you ever heard us talk about things like “this is the warmest spring on record” or “so far, this is the wettest year on record” or “the last time we had 10 days in a row with days at 100 degrees" – that data came from SERCC.
