RALEIGH -- A weather system in North Carolina on Wednesday spawned storms and conditions conducive to tornadoes. A tornado watch for eastern parts of the state expired at 2 a.m. Thursday and a wind advisory was in effect through 4 a.m. as a weather system rolled through the state.
The National Weather Service said a high-pressure area off the coast and a cold front moving in from the west created a wind tunnel of sorts to suck warm air from the southwest on Wednesday. The tornado watch, which went into effect around 8:30 p.m., indicates the right mix of conditions exists to produce the severe weather.
