The Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma has the foothills of North Carolina in a slight risk for severe storms today. According to the SPC, the slight risk runs right through eastern Burke County through western Lincoln County. The other areas west of Hickory are in the threat for mainly non-severe storms; however, no guarantees can be made. Severe storms can occur outside of the threat area, and with the threat area so close, everyone needs to be sure to be ready for severe weather tonight. The strongest storms look to penetrate through the area between 9:00 p.m. Thursday and 1:00 a.m. Friday. These storms have a chance to produce very strong winds, small hail, heavy rain, lightning, and a slight chance of a tornado. Be sure to have your NOAA Weather Alert radio on tonight and keep in touch with the latest information from the NWS via television, radio, and/or the internet.
