5/18/20 - 5/23/20 Upper Low Flooding & Severe Threat

Looks like a hurricane over Kansas right now spinning on radar. Sometimes a Tropical Depression will form over land like that.
 
And look at the stratiform rain evaporate as it hits the sink zone. Perfect.
 
Well, so far today the storms have just missed me (one MIGHT brush me), but when I went for a walk in the evening, it definitely felt like summer. 2nd day this week in which it did.

I really wish I took my phone with me when I walked though. I saw what I thought were interesting thundercloud formations.
 
Where the heck did this come from in Chapin SC (Lake Murray 15 miles from Columbia)

I kid you not we are getting ROCKED right now, woke me up and I went to the window to record how much crazy lightning we are getting and a strike happened right outside my window.

Might have poo’d my pants can’t lie, will investigate what it hit in my neighborhood in the morning
 
Could see a few microbursts/strong outflow winds today given the large amounts of SBcape (2500-3000), large Dcape (750-1000) and still some left over 0-3km shear, overall this is the first “summer storms” type of day this year that will likely not be organized, so get ready to be missed and enjoy the outflow winds when you do get missed !

Well if I had to bet where the thunderstorm is going go fire up today it will be within 20 miles or less of Charlotte NC like always
 
Huge hail reports yesterday.
BASEBALL SIZE HAIL 2.75" around Estill, SC .. yes near the location where last month's EF4 struck.

That is insane. Imagine the speed of the updraft that would sustain that block of ice!
