Severe April 6-8th severe threat

Interested to see if the activity in north-east Tennessee creates a bow echo for areas that were skipped (Boone, Sparta, Mount Airy).
 
This cluster of storms near the blue ridge escarpment and far western piedmont of NC and GSP in SC is associated with a lee trough in the wake of the Apps, it's somewhat evident on the SPC mesoanalyses.
 
Yep that just moved through where I am...just above the dot of the 'i' in 'Greenville'. Very heavy rain and a lot of wind for about 8 minutes or so. No way to measure the rainfall at work though.
 
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

It is hard to believe that your emotions are being dominated by “damn” frustration about there being no dangerous wx vs relief that your family is out of danger. Think about what you’re saying, man. Common sense says your reply to metwannabe doesn’t pass the smell test.
 
Sunshine breaking out after that line passed. Maybe a surprise back end event will occur in the NC foothills.
 
I’m now near townhouse in kannapolis, looking back at that storm that just hit south of Mooresville ,has a low base with A “scud wedge” below in

No smell test needed here. I can only control what I type onto my keyboard. I cannot control how much you understand. I am sorry something is being lost in translation here
 
That storm rolled thru and produced heavy rain with lots of thunder. saw no lightning
It was strange. Certainly looked like the ingredients were there. It seems we were pretty fortunate. Luckily something was missing here bc those same storms are now up around Charlotte and are Severe warned

Picked up steam as it moved east it appears. what was just rain for you was rain+thunder for me and now a severe warning further east
 
Got this on the back end of that last storm as I was leaving school

Easily the heaviest rain of the year on the backside. It’s like someone is dumping water onto my house out of a bucket truck. A few big bolts of lightning and loud thunder as well
 
Just got put under a severe thunderstorm warning until 5.

Should be interesting as I'm about to nap soon. Let's see if I can do it.

Edit: I swear that line is taking its sweet time though. It's in the county but it's still moving slow-ish.
 
I would hate to be caught out on Lake Greenwood right now. About to be some strong winds whipping accross that lake
 
Yep this is why people don’t believe the SPC. Let’s update the map and have an enhanced risk all the way to Boone NC or Asheville NC where the threat shifted east a few hours ago according to the NWS.

It’s ok, you’ll see those garden variety mountain storms while the Piedmont gets screwed this summer
