JUST IN: The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for Brunswick, Bladen, Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender Counties until at least 5PM. An isolated tornado threat is the main hazard.

The Storm Prediction Center says

“As T.S. Debby moves slowly northeastward (per NHC forecasts), the threat for a few tornadoes should persist and shift across the watch area into more of eastern SC and adjoining coastal NC. Instability will be greatest near the coast, supporting occasional supercells with a tornado threat”

REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.
