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.

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.
