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.
