Decent sun here right now. Gonna be short lived
It’s raining cats and dogs here now as the line comes through. Haven’t heard any thunder, though.
Wind is ripping in tops of trees, as already noted probably dodged another bullet here. Although that line still has to pass and I'm sure there will be some intense gust with it. Slightest breaks in clouds and destabilization would've set off this powder keg
Starting to beef back up a bit it seems like

They just launched another one I happened to be near my lab which is where they launch it and they let me watch , cool! Didn’t expect that today , sadly I think this one was not successful, the launch was but they weren’t getting all the data they wanted

Thunderstorm currently in Goose Creek. Peak gust 51mph... unexpectedly have had several rounds of heavy discrete rains. Fortunately, instability remained weak, otherwise this would have been a robust outbreak regionally.
It has been consistently windy though since 5am..so these cells have been effective wind makers (though subsevere) with meager cape

I was wondering about that. The mountains look brown off in the distance. Sort of figured that's what it was.
You know a system is wound up tight when it's colder in Alabama than Detroit. Speaking of Detroit, I was suprised with how smooth the flight was from CHA-DTW. First time here, just passing thu on way to snowy Wisconsin.

1.10" today should help with crops and the fires. Probably got a bit more just not recorded on the PWS on account of the wind. That's the most rain I've had in not just a 24 hour period, but in a calendar week since Helene in September.
