Severe April 6-8th severe threat

Hrrr has actually lowered dewpoints and shows 20 degree dewpoint/sfc temp depressions now with inverted Vs, your definitely not lying about the wind threat with storms, hail threat is lowering due to poor mid level lapse rates and HGZs have shrunk a bit, still with WBZ at 700 hPa May see some hailers
We’re going to do a balloon launch here on UNCC’s campus this afternoon & that should definitely provide a good gauge of what we’re up against

The HRRR seems to have trended towards more intense storms than earlier runs as of now. The CAPE is also increasing all throughout GA into NC, but the strongest increase has been in S GA. Not sure if that will dampen the threat further north with moisture robbing from higher energy storms or what.

It might for northern GA but us further east have a better chance due to a remnant boundary allowing storms to develop hitting such a unstable environment, also Lee side troughing always sparks storms in these setups D9947F13-12AE-4C71-992F-0F4640609227.gif

Clouds have filled back in a bit here, still some sun peeking out, but there’s a break in the clouds off the distance to my SW so I’m assuming full sun will become a bit more dominate agin
 
NWS Blacksburg wants an upgrade out of slight risk. Some details discussed in their AFD. I think the SPC will wait till the last minute for the Virgina Piedmont and maybe parts of NC.
 
Next 2-4 hours for the alabama people need to watch for convection firing up in southwest alabama and east mississippi that's when it looks to be go time for storms that'll be severe.
