   ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF EASTERN SC AND NC
   THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...
   
   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
   POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES OVER EASTERN PARTS OF SC AND NC
   THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
   
   CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STRONG
   AND POSSIBLY LONG-LIVED TORNADOES.
   
   WHILE OVERALL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
   WIDESPREAD...THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT TORNADO AFTER DARK
   WARRANTS HEIGHTENED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
   
   TORNADOES DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR CAN BE
   PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY ARE USUALLY FAST-MOVING AND
   OBSCURED BY RAIN AND DARKNESS.
   
   THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
   
          EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
          EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA
   
   
   
   STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS ARE MONITORING THIS DEVELOPING
   SITUATION. THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE
   WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA
   WEATHER RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS
   TONIGHT.
