More activity bubbled up behind the initial heavy rain showers, so *NOW* we're getting the thunder/lightning.
Not every day you see this...
It's nice that the storms didn't work over the atmosphere. Per the SPC mesoanalysis, the airmass continues to destabilize nicely, with more storms having fired up to the NW of here.

Today's convection so far has missed me by raining out and reforming when it's just beyond me. Sadface
I did take some thundercloud pictures that I may share later on tonight.

Must feel amazing in Memphis
Radar is very underwhelming thus far today. Unless we can get more storms to fire today will be another bust as far as storm chances go. We'll see if the backdoor front can fire up something, but I am pessimistic as of now.

Not surprised to see the GSP area miss, but it is shocking that Charlotte might too. After today it may be nearly a week before decent chances appear. The tropical system will actually hurt our chances it looks like.

Yep. Total bust for today. Good thing I started watering the lawn yesterday.
It's just insane how poorly models have handled most of this winter/spring. I'm just going to start using nowcasting from now on.
We never bust with higher rain totals or more storm coverage. Only dry
My of the showers/storms for the Triad aren't supposed to even form until 6pm and later today, so not a bust just yet.

Parts of Mississippi are getting rocked by a solid looking MCS today.
Yeah that trough axis is just now entering the foothills, most models had earlier storms dying out and had the best storms around 6-10
We shall see. As I am writing this there are some more storms popping in York County. So, maybe I will end up eating my words. Fingers crossed!
This came outa nowhere

This summer is going to a repeat of 1993 over parts of the southeast. The 3 month TOTAL for rain here was just .30.
That tower became a beauty

Man the humidity is nasty today.
Getting a picture of lightning has been a frustrating struggle lately, man

Oh well it never fails. Storm right over Charlotte. Unreal.
Nice structure to these 
The models have pooped the bed again. So much for 60% coverage as GSP said earlier. Going on 9 days now with no rain and the weekend looks horrible for chances. Welcome to summer!
Edit
I see others get on here and complain about not getting rain and as they type the bottom falls out. I should try this more often because it worked for me too!

I got a picture of this bolt from the blue on my canon 
Flash Flood Watch failed for most up here. Nada
Not a bad day overall, typical of June, it remained mostly cloudy until the late afternoon.
High: 80.0F
Low: 69.0
Rain: .75"

Rain: .75"
It was largely sunny and hazy here until 11am when the outflow boundary approached and was activated.
Made it to 86*F pretty quickly.
here this one amazing bolt i got from the anvil of the storm, and a somewhat lit shelf cloud

Had a small storm miss me by 10 miles or so lastnight. Some decent rumbles of thunder off in the distance. Felt good out there this morning.
This is interesting

Cooler and showery few days. Gonna need rain soon. Sure do miss heavy rain events. Drought gonna set up by July.
Never wanted the hrrrv4 to be this right before, some mid level warmth tho so I’m leaning towards dry, but above that mid level warmth is better cape so idk 
I basically have zero faith in any HRRR model or any model, to be honest. I think I will just get a Magic 8-Ball and use that as weather guidance. It can't be worse than what we currently have.
