First tornado confirmed in Charlotte area

The first of possibly several tornadoes was confirmed Tuesday by the National Weather Service, which is visiting storm damage in-person a day after the record-breaking severe weather outbreak struck the Carolinas.

An EF0 tornado with 85 mph winds caused damage in Huntersville on Monday, weather service investigators confirmed Tuesday.

Officials from the National Weather Service are touring damage Tuesday alongside local officials. They're expected to visit additional locations across Mecklenburg, Iredell, Catawba, Rowan, and Cabarrus counties. In each of these locations, officials will determine whether damage was caused by severe thunderstorms or tornadoes.
