From WRAL. Sounds like another situation of the early storms either weakening or strengthening storms later in the day. If the storms come through and then the sun comes out it could make it more humid and give the spark for stronger storms later. If it stays overcast and not much sun then we usually don't get the strong storms later.

Few severe thunderstorm warnings right now, but this line is actually weakening as it moves into the area. There is not much energy for these storms to work with right now. You walk outside, and it’s pretty comfortable. We need more moisture/humidity to really get strong storms going. Still on track to see the actual cold front crossing this afternoon. Will see if the atmosphere can “recover”. Will monitor it closely!

Rain has stopped and the sun is trying to come out. Have to see if it's going to have enough time to create more instability.

Anything that can get going right now before it gets too crowded seems like it might end up with a shot at a tornado and higher end hail. This might be that cell for our area imo

Just walked in from feeding Muh chickens, like @Shaggy opined, mammatus clouds are prevalent here also, in Surf City..
 
@Shaggy , looks like that line of Storms has recycled, & growing stronger? Impressive looking on the radar loop..

Some healthy counter-clockwise spinning embedded in some of these cells..
 
They're fizzling but they look good at least
