A tornado watch has been issued for Danville and Pittsylvania
County through 4 p.m. Friday.
The main threat will be strong, damaging winds ahead of a cold
front, said WSLS10 Meteorologist Patrick McKee.
However, the tornado threat is low, McKee said.
A wind advisory is in effect until midnight Friday,
with sustained winds up to 25 miles per hour and gusts as high as 50 miles per
hour, McKee said.
“It’s not unheard of to have severe weather during February,
though it doesn’t happen often,” McKee said.
According to a National Weather Service study, February is the
least likely month for seeing severe weather in the area, McKee pointed out.
“As for general thunderstorms, stronger storm systems,
sometimes even associated with snow, have produced thunder in February, though
it doesn’t happen often,” McKee said.
