Severe April 6-8th severe threat

WRAL included Raleigh in the enhanced risk in their graphic, but the SPC has Raleigh just south of the enhanced risk. I know it's on the line and close enough, but seems a bit misleading for them to include Raleigh in the enhanced risk.

I don’t believe it’s misleading at all .. being on or near an enhanced area basically puts you in it ... there’s enough severe to go around that people watching are probably going to take it more seriously if they see they’re included in the highest risk ... good decision I believe

I know, it's close enough, but technically their graphic is wrong and Raleigh is just south of the enhanced risk.
 
Looks like a watch about to go up for portions of Ga and upstate SC (interestingly enough it may go up for areas in Ga just south of the slight risk area). Things about to boom
 
I'll be a be. That SPC outlook there isn't great.

85 now per the closest official station. The good is the humidity has decreased, the bad is the dewpoint has stayed the same.
 
Things are starting to look more clear ... a clear damaging wind and hail threat with the cells developing in SC rn and then a line of just damaging wind threat possible behind that
 
Well into the 80s in Maryland and New Jersey. Compared to no sun today and low 70s in my backyard with 50s in the mountains. Also pre-frontal activity racing out ahead near Hickory NC. Not sold on the upgrade to enhanced risk unless something changes quick.
 
Tornado that hit Blount county alabama rated preliminary ef1.Screenshot_20190408-125143_Twitter.jpg
 
Heavy rain and cool now in Wilkesboro. The short range models busted up here. I suppose the same further south near Hickory. Maybe still a chance for the Piedmont area tho.
 
Cbs 42 shows a bunch of convection popping up at 2 ? i doubt that much will happen but i expect some severe storms.IMG_20190408_131240.jpg

If y'all want to complain because you didn't have hail damage or your roof blown off or hit by lightning or a tornado or whatever it is you want to complain about please do so in the banter thread. Thank you

That’s not really it. It IS frustrating when you don’t know which way to call it. When you warn family members to be ready to take cover only to have heavy rain. It’s damn frustrating. I didn’t want hail or wind but it did have that feel to it. I am relieved

The "rain vs storms" being caused by less than ideal mid level lapse rates?

If so then this is more of the answer I was looking for. I’m just looking for ways to make a better personal forecast tbh. I’m all for thunder and lightning but I’m not a fan of wind as I live on top of a hill.
 
So is this looking like a non event for North East Ga etc? Would be nice to know and let guard down. Barnyard work to do....Thanks for someones opinion.
