Severe Watch issued for Wilkes but I’m not expecting the storms to survive into NC.
Ready for some lightning pics/maybe a shelf cloud

The first batch that went through sort of split MBY and cooled things off. that next one does look bad but looks like the worst may past just to my south. I'll have to check on my kid in Blacksburge in a bit though:-|

We’ll probably need a new severe thunderstorm watch pretty soon for NC because these storms and their associated outflow boundary are racing very rapidly towards the N.C. border.
Looking at that updraft to my west and it’s a hawt mess, looks sheared

This storm near Martinsville, VA is a classic example of what happens when a storm’s strengthening cold pool causes it to deviate from the mean wind (in this case to the right). The intensity and dynamical history of these QLCSs are important for their subsequent prediction (locations impacted, how strong they’ll be, etc) & if CAMs aren’t able to properly handle these, you end up with busted forecasts.

Larry - Count me in for a "yes" vote ... signals suggest a good possibility, verging to a probability ... ?
At this point I’ll take that before severe season really starts kicking in... some nice cool refreshing air doesn’t sound that bad

Looks cold for 90% of the country. Unfortunately you are the 10% that is warm ?

kills virus they say ... for once I'm happy about the SER ...
plus ... I really do care about weather ... and in fact, not just IMBY ... ?
It’s a race against time now as the sun sets. Should help isolate the zone of showers/storms as it enters north/west NC and weaken.

Yeah im not crazy about heat but id rather it be warm right now. There are questions about how much warmth impacts the virus but honestly i dont think warmth would help spread the virus. It would only help eliminate it.

That storm that missed me to the west has some energy behind it. We had about 5 minutes of very gusty winds with any of the strong echos at least 20 miles away. Bet it was really good blow out in front of that bow.
There is an inflow and outflow with every storm. Your experience with one of those does not necessarily mean the strong echo was any different or stronger.
that storm near Charlotte is improving its structure

A lot of weakening Blacksburg VA south already. No surprise the dry wins again.

This is all the more impressive when you consider it's our wettest year ever so far... Apparently was 97 between reports
Outflow boundary pushing south should start igniting new storms soon, lots of congested cumulus out there right now, just need a little trigger like that outflow boundary 
Spc says yes 
I just don’t think new storms are gonna fire. I thinks it’s going to be much less widespread due to the sun setting and it being dry for so long.

Keep a close eye on the tail end of this bowing segment in southern Granville County, you can sometimes get brief spin-up tornadoes &/or gustnadoes where there’s a lot of horizontal shear created by differential flow speeds in close juxtaposition to the cold pool of a strong thunderstorm.
These towering Cumulus is getting fanned/sheared out by those strong NW winds aloft
