Severe Weather Threat Overnight

The severe weather threat overnight is looking pretty high. I would caution everyone to make sure you have a charged cell phone and text alerts set-up from WCNC. Or a weather alert radio with battery back-up. We will see severe weather warnings overnight when you will likely be sleeping and even timely warnings can be deemed useless, unless you get them. Here’s the severe threats based on probabilities.
