Obviously off its rocker but imagine going from all time high temps to fall in three days

That would be a very strong cold front that comes through with that temperature gradient, especially for the summer months. I could only imagine the severe weather that might occur with it.

At least it gives some hope that we’re getting closer to days like that

I can remember I was in Columbia, SC during the 2012 heat wave and that was broken by one of the most hellacious storms I’ve ever seen.

Tomorrow looks much better than today ever did. I honestly didn’t know what they seeing to move that slight risk into NC today…the front looks like it’s coming in with almost perfect timing tomorrow to really fire things up I-77 corridor and east

Wow, I saw Portland, OR hit 108 today! Would break RDU’s all-time high by three degrees, though at least it isn’t as humid there!

their 108 probably felt better than a typical 95 degree day in the southeast.

Brunswick County Airport to my south a bit never went below a 93 degree HI overnight and Wikmington international to my north just a bit only got down to 87 HI overnight.

Both were already triple digit this morning

But it's things like this that make people not take the real threats seriously. The SPC has been awful lately with their categorical outlooks.

They did well with their Enhanced outlook the other day.

Maybe today will be more active after all.

Just a tad bit of surface cape

Microbursts going to be common, atmosphere is explosive....

 

[weather bubba]

Although the storm coverage will not be as expansive as last Tuesday, the parameters are there for some very strong storms to develop. This is starting to look more like what happened a week ago except that the brunt of the action will be further east towards the central parts of NC and Virginia. There will be more significant rainfall totals with these storms, especially in areas where training occurs.

There will be plenty of big wind in these storms....especially the ones that happen over the next 3-6 hrs during peak heating.....

Just had a bunch of lightning roll through central Wake.

Been thundering here for the last 20 minutes. No rain, wind, or lightning.

Got a good size storm blowing up here at GSO. Should be down to you RDU guys in an hour or two

 

[superjames1992]

Good Lord. The 85 DP is higher than I’ve been able to find anywhere else. 97 / 85, 129 HI. ?

 

[tractor girl]

We had a couple of pretty strong cells pass through Athens a little while ago. I lost power twice as a result. The rain was voluminous.

Yeah this is pretty remarkable and luckily days like this are rare.

Guarantee there has been lightning

 

[Carolina Jones]

Somehow the storms have missed me so far to the north, south, and even east.

Not any visual from my house. Thunder was from the storms going to my north and even materializing to the east of here.

 

[Stump]

Still bone dry in JoCo, everything is missing North and South. Need some liquid here asap.
