Tornado Threat Could Overperform Across Raleigh, Fayetteville, New Bern, Wilmington and Columbia as Storms Sweep the Carolinas, and a Strong Tornado Is Not Ruled Out

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA — Tornadoes are possible across the Carolinas and southeast Virginia on Friday, November 6, and some forecasters say this setup could overperform. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined only a 2 percent tornado risk, but forecasters see a good chance for tornadoes in a zone covering central and eastern North Carolina and central South Carolina. That includes Raleigh, Fayetteville, New Bern, Wilmington and Columbia. A strong tornado can’t be ruled out. The HRRR model simulated radar for noon EST shows a long line of storms stretching from the Delmarva Peninsula south through Richmond, Raleigh and Fayetteville to near Columbia and Charleston. Residents should stay weather aware throughout the day.
