RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Tuesday is a First Alert Day as the severe weather risk has increased in central North Carolina.

The highest chance for severe storms is in the late afternoon through the evening. The biggest threat is that of damaging winds and maybe some hail.
An isolated tornado can’t be ruled out, but the odds are low.
The areas most at risk of severe weather are in the northwest part of the viewing area, which includes Orange, Durham, Granville, Vance and Person counties.
Tuesday will get off to a cloudy start with a shower in spots and a severe weather risk in place for western parts of the Triangle.
