Tornado Watch

A tornado watch is in effect this morning for South and North Carolina for a chance for an isolated spin-up.

Severe Outlook

The severe outlook today is confined to areas of the Mid-Atlantic coast and this will be just for this morning as the system will move out of the region by the afternoon.

Severe Risks

The tornado risk will be highest near the Outer Banks of North Carolina this morning. As the low moves out to sea the severe risk will diminish very quickly.
