Great they just pulled you into full complaint mode when you don't get a severe storm today

The Hhhrrrrr was showing run after run storms for Sunday, while the 3k was showing zilch. Now, it's the opposite. I'm usually inclined to discount the HhrrrrRR any chance I get. That said, there just doesn't look to be a favorable setup for widespread coverage.

Scattered showers/storms with maybe a severe cluster somewhere in the east seems reasonable. 30% --> 50% central to east looks right to me.

The hrrr did really good a couple weeks ago and was really close to what happened.

You know it.

12z NAM 3K coming in quite a bit weaker overall. NE NC still looks to at least get something but it is borderline nothing burger for SE NC. Looks like their *could* be a couple of small cells. Lame.

Also, KMHX is down for roughly a month due to Pedestal Maintenance. Us crystal coasters will have to use KLTX or KRAX for any radar viewing.

WRAL 's Mike Maze posted this on Facebook.

WRAL WEATHER ALERT DAY: We are starting to see showers pop up on the DD5K which could be the start of the storms for this afternoon. Still waiting for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch to be issued. It's watch and wait mode!

And just got an alert for a lightning strike 6 miles away. Looks like things are starting to fire up now.

Not an exact match but initiation looks more like what the HRRR and most other mesoscales were showing and less like the NAM. Doubting the MCS idea playing out at the moment.

I live near the black dot near those three lightning strikes and they were brown pants level close.

That cell is just a beast. Don't get too many of them around here. Got a 72.5dbz on another scan.

The hail we got was mostly dime with a few pennies. Bet it was way bigger than that a mile or two to my south. Damage report at Ballard's crossroads and a house fire that's about 2 miles to my southwest
