Has Western North Carolina ever been under a high risk of severe storms?
Yes. The extreme portions of western North Carolina were under a high risk outlook on November 15, 1989 and April 8, 1998. In a few cases where one was issued not far from there: On April 10, 2009 a high risk of severe weather was issued for parts of Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, coming very near the western tip of North Carolina. The western part of the state was under a moderate risk. On April 16, 2011 a high risk of severe weather was issued for eastern North Carolina. On April 27, 2011 a high risk of severe weather was issued for an area stretching across parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, nearly reaching North Carolina. Part of western NC was under a moderate risk.
Under what conditions do thunderstorms form?
basic ingredients moisture- forms clouds and rain unstable air it is warm and it rise rapidly.
How does unequal heating relate to the formation of tornadoes?
Unequal heating leads to air masses of different temperatures. When a cool air mass collides with a warm, moist air mass thunderstorms often form. Under the right conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
Do cumulus clouds predict fair weather?
Cumulus cloud often do indicate fair weather, but not always. Under the right conditions cumulus clouds can develop into thunderstorms.
How does unequal heating related to the formation of tornadoes and thunderstorms?
Thunderstorms arise from unstable air masses. Instability generally occurs when the lower atmosphere is warm and moist while the upper atmosphere is cold. Under these conditions, a blob of air (called a parcel) that is nudged upward will become warmer than its surroundings and continue to rise on its own. However, something has to give it this nudge. This often comes in the form of a cold front, which develops when a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one. Since cool air is denser than warm air, it forces the warm air up, which can trigger thunderstorms under the right conditions. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms, and so are dependent on much the same conditions.
Is there potential for a high risk of severe thunderstorms on May 8 Th 2015?
It is unlikely unless the area under the moderate-risk outlook is expanded.
Which fronts could be responsible for tornado weather and why?
Tornadoes are most often associate with cold fronts. This is because a cold front can produce convection that leads to strong thunderstorms. Under the right conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.

Do tornadoes begin over the ocean why or why not?
Generally not. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms called supercells, which form under similar conditions to ordinary thunderstorms and as anybody can tell you, thunderstorms don't need to form over an ocean. That said, some tornadoes do form on the ocean.
When was Under Western Eyes created?
Under Western Eyes was created in 1911.
Does a dust devil develop into a tornado?
No. A dust devil is a whirlwind that forms from localized convection caused by heating from the sun. As such, they form under sunny conditions. Tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms. Dust devils can, on rare occasions, produce minor damage similar to that of a very weak tornado.
