Some high-resolution models have shown solid bowing segments, which could bring damaging winds and a brief spin-up tornado threat.
The Storm Prediction Center has the entire viewing area until a level 2 out of 5 slight risk.
However, there is a 5% tornado area around Charlotte and Rock Hill.
With all this being said, the conditions have to come together perfectly for the event to occur in the morning.
There are still some questions as to how warm we will be able to get, but it is better to be prepared for the possibility of hazardous weather than to be caught off guard.
