What would happen if there was ever an 60 percent wind threat area an 15 percent hail threat area and an 5 percent tornado threat area from the SPC for Western NC one day?

It is difficult to say exactly what would happen, as a severe weather outlook outlook is based on a forecast weather event which may or may not develop as expected.
Such an outlook, however, would suggest an event in which there was a high risk for severe and a slight risk for hail and tornadoes. Such and outlook might suggest the possible development of a squall line, perhaps with bowing segments. Such an event could potentially produce widespread straight-line wind damage accompanied by a few tornadoes and some severe hail.
