July Surprise!

I think it's about to happen. That storm in Aiken County did begin to rain out some, but it's rejuvenated itself. "Should" end up being a nice hit.
 
Well dang it actually might not happen...looks like the energy is slowly transitioning to the northwest of me. That really sucks as we actually really need rain right now.
 
According to the GFS, it's going to be 102 in OKC when I am there, then 70 the next day when I'm in Flagstaff ?
 
Had some pretty decent gusts for about 5 minutes. Either, I am about to get a storm or this is going to rob me of this storm producing over my house.
 
Well I can tell you this storm over southern Union County means business. Easily had a 50 mph wind gust at the start and now it’s absolutely pounding rain now. Already a half in inch in about 10 minutes

I can't tell if it's coming for me in Indian Trail, it's hardly moving.

Honestly it really looks more like it expanded north towards me rather than moving at first. We could see lightning flashing well out ahead too. Whoever gets under where the OFB boundary from this collides with the one from the NW is gonna get absolutely nailed.
 
Ah there's nothing more than I love but to have a storm rain out that was knocking on my door and have the energy move to my northwest. Especially love it when you can hear the thunder as well.

I don't think it's going to be me. Lots of wind but no rain and very little thunder. I guess we shall see, but my hopes are diminishing. Those cold pools of reduced CAPE are very close to me.
 
HI hit 100 at 10:15am went to 105 by 12pm and has been 108 or higher just about ever since.

Not a rain cloud in sight.
 
Interesting fact I came across on this old paper talking about piedmont troughs in N.C., something in the ballpark of about 2/3rds of outflow boundary collisions result in the generation of new thunderstorms in the summertime, and they usually lag about 15-30 mins after the collision has taken place
