Severe 4/4-4/6 Severe Threat

It's been rocking in the Lowcountry tonight. Small hail around 9pm... Huge close bolt 10 minutes later... Rounds and rounds of severe thunderstorm warnings, I've lost count and that big convective line about to blast thru any minute...

Toms of rain...
Also, my friend caught a large wall cloud/possible tornado in Moncks Corner this afternoon just after 5pm..
 
I’m not ready to spike the football. As muggy as it was earlier. And not a drop of rain here yet either. Plus all of this cell separation on radar.. won’t surprise me if we see some action later in this highlighted area. But hopefully not. I’m tired 153E1247-1DBB-49C6-BF60-A0FC1E19A48D.jpeg
 
Yea this line going to the east of Atlanta is rocking and rolling non stop lighting and thunder
 
Cloudy here. Hope that keeps the instability down. We usually need some sun to spark a widespread severe event. I guess we could still have some isolated storms like last week.
 
It was cloudy all day yesterday, keeping the temp below 80 and saving us from the brunt of the severe activity Glenn hyped about.

@metwannabe special today in regards to isolated tor potential

Yeah I saw that, HRRR keeps hinting at a potential long tracker up into SE Va, we shall see. Plenty of time but it's cloudy, cool and east wind right now so....

HRRR has been fairly consistent in showing some rotating storms in eastern NC this afternoon but it bounces them all over the place run to run...looks like prime time too with most action from 2-6 pm.
 
Interesting discussion from SPC, the cool pool could actually enhance tornadic potential

...Mid-Atlantic...
Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are likely with the
passage of the cold front across the Mid-Atlantic by early
afternoon. Despite morning clouds and the lingering cold pool from
Wednesday night's convective cluster over the region, sufficient
destabilization should take place by early afternoon to support
thunderstorm development. Storm motion vectors and deep-layer shear
orientations along the frontal boundary will favor linear modes, but
elongated hodographs in the 0-6 km layer will support the potential
for bowing segments and perhaps a few more robust cells in the line.
Weak 0-1 km flow within the recovering cold pool under stronger low
to mid-level winds may provide enough low-level helicity for a few
tornadoes within the line. This scenario is depicted by recent CAMs
with a clustering of UH tracks noted across northeast NC/southeast
VA where the cold pool is expected to linger.
 
I hope Raleigh can get in on the action .. we look to be right on the edge of where things get going via HRRR .. they look like some nasty cells though so radar trends will be interesting to see where things start to get going B3F7564A-F1AE-40CB-98E9-7F212BF4D072.jpeg
