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
