Looks like it's gonna fizzle out by the time it gets here. Latest HRRR has it holding together more.

Severe warning here this morning. It’s like a monsoon out here. Big boomers. A real good one.
I'm having doubts about any severe weather (over this way) today. Guess I'll see how this first batch of rain plays out
Might have been better (storm strength wise) if it was delayed some into the afternoon. But it'll still be nice to get rain at midday in August.
Would be even better if I wasn't at work lol. Would be a great day to sit at home with a fresh cup of java and watch the rain fall don't get those often in August that's for sure

The SPC shrunk the slight risk quite a bit....the Triangle is now on the western edge of the risk area thanks to this round of rain/storms being more stout than expected

Charleston Executive Airport on Johns Island has a HI of 109 at 9AM.
I just heard what had to have been the loudest and longest crack of thunder I’ve ever heard. The walls and doors in my house literally rattled

Looks like I'm in the 'sweet spot' to actually see some action this evening according to the local WFO. Gonna come down to how much the atmosphere can rebound after the initial event moves through here around lunch. If the clouds clear out the instability is going to build back in and could possibly be a pretty significant event this evening. Second round should be in my area around 8pm. Will probably still find a way to miss out. This has been one of the tamest years for storms in my area that I can remember. I can't recall any Severe storms maybe a few mildly strong ones.
Looks like it will rain here but don't expect any storms. SPC jumped the gun with the level 2 risk for here yesterday.
If it starts out cloudy or rainy in the morning we very rarely get storms unless there is enough clearing for the afternoon heat.

I’ve never seen anything like it. This has to be one of the most epic heat waves in recorded history.

This type of rain is so much better for the crops and gardens than that squall blast the other day. 74 and it’s almost noon, ethereal
Someone pointed out on the radio that after the Tongan volcano scientist said we would warm over the next few years due to the massive amount of water vapor it put into the atmosphere. I'm guessing this is what happened. For me personally, it hasn't been that far from normal. Sure we've had hot stretches but it wouldn't make a list in my books.

I think it’s mostly been Central GA and points South.

Insane lightning with this storm
It's most of the northern hemosphere.

Doesn’t hold a candle to 2016 here at least.

Boy, I went outside a few minutes ago and was stunned. The sky has cleared, the humidity is noticeably lower, the haze is gone, and it's in the 70s! Almost like one of those early September fallish fronts we get sometimes; its beautiful out there!

Still way below even last year here on 100s so it's not everywhere
People would die if we had 1936 again... 65 days over 100. This is nothing
It’s pretty wild. I’ve been following New Orleans and Houston and they’ve been topping out at near/above 100 every day for the past week or so, and that looks to continue for the next week. With high DPs, they’re looking at daily heat indexes topping out in the 110-115 range and dipping only into the 90s at night, which is pretty miserable. No relief!

That was also manmade with the dust bowl and it was way drier so the air was easier to heat.

Growing huge amounts of corn etc keeps it cooler but more humid.

Waterspout?

I'd guess that would be likely with those velocities.
The storms today brought that extra heat with that lightning man what a show

My phone did a horrible job picking up the bolts snd sound. At around the 15 to 20 second mark a really close strike hit and it was so close it sounded more like a pop than cracking thunder. I believe it hit a backhoe on the street over from me

Whiffed again. The usual falling apart on final approach. Heard one decent clap of thunder and got a little bit of rain. Sigh lol.
