It's hard to not feel a little uneasy about this afternoon locally with steepening lapse rates and increasing sb cape. Most of the recent HRRR and 0z fv3 hires only develop shallow showers/storms but they will likely try to rotate. The 0z 3k and arw2 are much more bullish with multiple convective bands forming within the warm sector which would likely included embedded supercells as well as an increased threat of high end rain rates.
It's quiet here now. No tornado warnings in the state at this moment. Hope this just isn't the lull before more tornado threats later today.It's hard to not feel a little uneasy about this afternoon locally with steepening lapse rates and increasing sb cape.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about looks like there are some breaks already pushing into SE NC on visible and there are definitely some offshoresome sun in between bands would be bad...we saw that yesterday several times
With that in mind, rain is stopping in at least 2 hours. 1pm starts to dry out.Wonder how the shetley drought is going
No tornado warnings here, but this is the worst since Isaias.These tornadoes haven't been your typical TC weak spinners, goodness. Got home just in time, might be a long day ahead
Isaias was the last tropical system in North Carolina in 2020 that produced tornadoes like this. There were fifteen reported tornadoes during that outbreak. Wilson County was in the bullseye then too with an EF3 hitting there.No tornado warnings here, but this is the worst since Isaias.
OvernightWhen should the tornado threat be over for NC?
These lulls can be very deceiving. I was hoping it would be over sooner.Overnight
I wonder if the NWS will extend the tornado watch that is in place. Conditions appear favorable for more tornadic activity and if the atmosphere gets juiced up with breaks in the cloud cover between rain bands it may be wise to do so just in case. I think NWS got caught a little flat footed not issuing one earlier than they did.
? No sun hereI'm starting to think Debby is moving south now. Might be sunny tomorrow.
Think it's tornado warned now.That storm in Sampson county about to move into harnett might be a problem shortly
Unless we expect more bands to fire/fill in, Debbie seems to be about done with everyone in E/SE NC. One last band coming through and that will be it.
4" here in Mooresville, Hopefully that band pivots back thru I want that 8" record
