For most of Sunday, North Carolina will be placed under a Level 2 out of 5 risk of severe weather, with some counties near the eastern North Carolina-Virginia borderline reaching up to a Level 3.
Timing for the storms is still fluid due to the current weather models. Clouds should be rolling in by early afternoon or even midday.
