NEW: The Storm Prediction Center has expanded the Level 2/5 (SLIGHT) risk to include all of Western NC and Southeastern NC, this is basically from Boone and Asheville south and east to the Wilmington/Cape Fear area. The main concern is a line, or a cluster of thunderstorms known as an MCV (Mesoscale Convective Vortex). The greatest risk is a couple of storms with damaging winds and an isolated tornado, although it is very low. The timing will be from mid-afternoon to late evening; I’ll keep you posted.
