4/24/20-4/26/20 possible severe weather

You're a member of a weather forum. If everyone just liked sunshine and 72 degrees, we probably wouldn't spend so much time together. I don't think anyone hopes for death and destruction.
Well I'd hope not. I just don't get some folks almost cheering for values that give you tornadoes. I've been in two so the prospects of them don't make me feel good at all.
 
If I have to take any severe weather, it would be hail because it is the least deadly of all. Tbh, the idea of a mainly large hail threat excited me.
But it’s another sucky event that occurs around midnight or after up this way. I will be fast asleep unless my phone buzzes for a tornado or if the hail breaks my windows.
 
We got round coming through here around 11 or so.

So it probably hits Nashville later on tonight, right? ------, I was hoping to not have overnight storms tonight. Can't wait. :(
 
MHX gives us the ingredients minus a real trigger I guess.

What amounts to a warm front will push north this evening, with
southerly flow developing behind it. Strong low level moisture
advection will allow for temps and dewpoints to climb into the
mid to upper 60s overnight, leading to modest to strong
instability developing with MUCAPE values of 1000-2000 J/kg
possible. This will also take place under strengthening upper
level winds, with strong wind shear present over the area after
midnight. However, with the cold front/triple point low over
western NC, there will be limited convergence or forcing for
storms to develop over the area, along with limited moisture in
the mid levels. Nevertheless, scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected overnight, with a couple/few severe
thunderstorms possible if updrafts can mature. That still
remains a big "if", and will be the limiting factor early Sunday
morning to a more widespread severe event.
 
Hrrr keeps hinting at this surge of CAPE as the line of storms begins to enter the piedmont, hmmm F0FF5E26-F8C0-40C4-A07E-EEE06DA2DC0A.png
 
We escaped with little damage tonight it appears. Seems to be very little reports to east of here. Except for Florida has some high wind reports.
 
Fell back to 61/56 after a light shower. Looks like the wedge will win today which should keep severe at a minimum in this area. Still wouldn't be surprised to see an elevated storm overnight with a little hail but overall we dodged another bullet

Skies are beginning to thin out a bit down here, based on the satellite it looks like we might get some more breaks in the clouds. We'll see...

Yeah it'll be interesting down your way with any storms that get going in NE Ga/upstate then moving in. Certainly looks like the edges of the wedge may be eroding a bit
 
Seems like there's a lot more disorganized precipitation in eastern TN right now than the HRRR has been depicting. Wonder if any of those cells it shows around here will really materialize.

Brad P's VLOG mentioned that he was didn't necessarily agree with the SPC outlook for today. He highlighted the Southern Piedmont as seeing a better chance for severe weather.
