It doesn't take long to destabilize the atmosphere with good southerly flow for WAA and the sun starting to peak out. Still plenty of time for this to turn bad for the piedmont area.

What location is this sounding for? Sorry, I know I ask that a lot. Lol.

You can google the coordinates at the top to get the location. Those are along the NC/SC border east of Charlotte I think.
Oh snap, just saw that. Thank you!

I mean I get why they do it THESE days.. but come on, parents have to work. I didn’t think the setup warranted school cancellations. I think the timing of it was what made them jump the gun and make a poor call.

Yeah not usually a precursor to widespread severe. But we shall see. Still a chance of some clearing I guess. ?

It wasn't even supposed to start here until 3:00 anyway, and all the schools are out in Wake by then, but they still cancelled classes today.
Still watching that thin line to my east but it’s still quite foggy and damp here. Meh
After seeing the 3k I'm certainly concerned about being close to the "right" spot

Temp rising in Duncan. 54.9. Still plenty of fog.
My problem is the amount of 0-3km CAPE there is 
Me saying goodbye to the super strong CAD that was supposedly suppose to ruin this event for us even though all the models have soundly been getting the warm sector over us since yesterday .. and it’s not even peak heating yet
That’s the thing storms could be moving in as school buses are still out and traffic is much higher with car pooling going on everywhere at the same time.. increase in traffic is not good when u have scraping severe storms getting going
That’s downright ugly. I knew this event wasn’t going to bust. Kept saying that last night and I got a lot of people telling me I was wrong. I said all along I didn’t like where. CLT sat when it came to this boundary.

They could have released early. No reason to cancel the whole day when the forecast didn't call for any storms here until 3:00.

Getting very warm and heavy here in Columbia

Do we want squall line or segments of renegades?
Same for here in Raleigh .. don’t know why so many people thought this would bust .. Spc downgraded a bit but if you look at the ingredients coming together on models and we use info on how things usually work around here and you don’t take models surface output to heart a day out.. you could have seen this was still a recipe for some mischief
Timing with this event was always unclear. This system slowed down a lot as it approached us...

We’re there’s the area to watch moving East, plenty of time for the warm front to lift north ahead of this

It could still end up being a bust compared to all the hype it got the last few days for a widespread outbreak, and comparisons to April 16, 2011. Yeah, there could be some isolated stuff, but that would not be worthy of all the hype this system got. Depends on how long it takes for things to warm up when and if the wedge finally erodes and the warm front comes in, and how far north the warm front gets. But this could still end up being like all the storms we had last year, where they were isolated and stayed south and east of Wake.

Actually it's 52/52 with fog and NE winds at 5 mph. Storms right to my west in greenville county.
62/61 here now and the air is feeling very soupy.

Hoping this foggy, stratus like deck stays in place with showers to prevent further destabilization.
That small line just moved through here it didn’t look like much on radar but it was absolutely torrential downpour with some pretty gusty winds
Warm front really starting to lift north now, can see the SBcape increasing in response to the northward moving warm front + daytime heating

54,Foggy Chilly degrees here at the noon hour. Long Live The Wedge Baby!
Quite the Hodograph right now in GSP, uncovering some surface based instability with this sort of environment and there’s issues

Hold on tight wedge!! Youve beaten back waa all winter!!!
@Jimmy Hypocracy im seeing 65 west of FI, is it really already that warm there?

Ready for the brief return to winter.
Up to 58/57 now
Looking at visible satellite we are about to get some clearing here soon. At least from what I can see, @Myfrotho704_ can you verify? If so, this is going to get ugly. It's almost like the system stalled over NE GA...
