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.
