   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   745 AM EST Wed Mar 5 2025

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 95 statute miles
   east and west of a line from 50 miles north of Raleigh NC to 10
   miles south of Charleston SC. For a complete depiction of the watch
   see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   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.

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 25...

   surface and aloft to 0.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind

Please visit the National Weather Service NWS Public Alerts for more information on the warnings.

For each watch, probabilities for particular events inside the watch (listed above in each table) are determined by the issuing forecaster. The "Low" category contains probability values ranging from less than 2% to 20% (EF2-EF5 tornadoes), less than 5% to 20% (all other probabilities), "Moderate" from 30% to 60%, and "High" from 70% to greater than 95%. High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of an increased threat for a particular event.
