The possibility of severe weather definitely exists for much of the rest of the day.
That said, the latest briefing in the link above, as of this publication at 2:45 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, indicates the most likely time for the WIZS listening area, and for that matter all of central North Carolina, is between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Areas from Raleigh northward are under a level 3 out 5 risk as a cold front pushes through with the threat increasing as you approach the NC/VA border.
The strongest storms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts. A short-lived and weak tornado is also possible.
