The SPC is calling for storms capable of producing 70 mph winds, up to golf ball size hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition to the tornado watch, there are also severe thunderstorm watches in effect for West Virginia, Virginia, and portions of North Carolina. It’s shaping up to be a pretty busy day to our east.
