The warning, issued by the National Weather Service, is expected to expire at 10:15 a.m. local time.

Meanwhile, tornado watches were also activated in Anson, Richmond and Stanly counties in North Carolina, as well as in Chesterfield counties. The surveillance program will remain in effect until 2 p.m. local time.

A tornado watch means weather conditions are favorable for tornado formation. However, when a tornado is seen or detected on radar, a tornado warning is issued.

Monday’s storm could also bring potentially damaging winds, according to officials.
