A new tornado watch has been issued for more than 8.5 million people in parts of the Carolinas and Georgia until 8 a.m. Friday. This alert comes as many tornado warnings have been issued on Thursday, with multiple confirmed tornadoes touching down in the Southeast.
The National Weather Service has urged residents in the affected areas to stay vigilant and prepared for severe weather conditions. Tornado watches are issued when weather conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes, while tornado warnings indicate that a tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar.
