THIS? There’s no storms on radar that should be making this much noise

They aren't that strong yet. It's mainly the insane instability out there.

Well that didn’t take long. You can see cells forming out a head of it quickly.

I guess it is from the outflow from the main line? Not sure why we are hearing thunder.
CJ is saying "classic hook"??? He must be seeing something I'm not
Flooding was downplayed in the news and social media even tho Moderate Risk was issued. Evacuations in Tennessee will occur tomorrow based on latest river forecasts near Chattanooga. I feel this is going to expand over much of the Appalachians.
Interesting watching the main line as it passes half way thru Alabama it appears that some storm growth occuring out in front of main line north to south this is troubling if those storms continue to grow.
Impressively enough, the temp climbed up to 79*F before the rain moved back in.
Channel 7 saying it looks extremely weak and will not be extended
Warning dropped for the SC storm.

It’s bad here. East Brainerd took a direct hit.
Another warning for Chattooga County, GA:
Is the HRRR too slow with this storm? Looks to be behind the current radar, I heard it was dragging its feet earlier but didn’t know if it corrected..?
Looks like South Cleveland is getting a direct hit now.
Temp still rising here, Dp has plateaued for now. 74/66 Definitely feel the mugginess and humidity when I was outside a few minutes ago. Just got home from work.
VWP hodo from GSP and Columbia, quite impressive large low level hodos with lots of SRH already and somewhat decent critical angles, also note how the whole hodo from The surface to 3km and 3-10km is literally cyclonic

Watch out Mount Airy NC that storm appears to be growing again after leaving Wilkes. Going to need another warning

That Tornado way out ahead of the main line had my fiancé shook. We have a Clayton Home so we came across the farmstead to stay at my dad’s tonight?

I know it’s been mentioned that this setup wasn’t necessarily favorable for large hail, but has there been any reports of hail in Alabama and East? I seen the pics earlier of the hail further west
I don't see any hail reports east of MS.
EDIT: There were a couple reports several hours ago in AL. Blount/Etowah Counties.

Starting to become a little concerned with the individual storms quite a ways ahead of the main line...

Power out here, missed us thankfully.
Feels like this is transitioning into a more linear situation and straight-line winds may be the main concern in ATL metro coming up. Hope I'm right...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this 1H HRRR sounding showing a cap?
Yes.

what does cap mean?

Hats off to everyone at SPC! This one was definitely a challenge to forecast. At the end of the day they had a tough decision to make in regards to moderate vs high. At the end of the day I feel like they nailed it and made the right call.
Capping inversion, which can inhibit convection.
That said, it's not a strong cap and the forcing from the upcoming front is overcoming it.

It's now 77 with a heat index of 79. Pretty unreal.
Still kind of debating setting an alarm for way earlier than normal for me just to check on the progress of these storms.
Edit: Think I'm gonna gamble a little here and just sleep, like I said elsewhere (what I normally do even on nights like this). Maybe I'll sleep through a heavy storm or be woken up, who knows?
