Dang, that wedge did breakdown fast. It's 67° at my house in Charlotte. Maybe it wasn't a total bust... There's a strong line about to come through.

Still foggy here and 59. Doubt there will be enough clearing for any storms this way. Probably everything will be south and east of Wake again.

Well, we can surely hope. Still, be prepared.

That is how the models kinda had it evolving on some runs yesterday.....and in the days that end up bad with decent tornado numbers thats how it usually plays out....

Up to 64 with clouds thinning, about 15-30 minutes away from seeing some sun poke through.
That cell over Hartwell has my name on it. Smh

Well, the crapvection is all gone. Now how much instability can be created between Gastonia and Raleigh.
64/63 consistent breaks in the clouds
This storm near easley getting looking interesting

+4 degrees in 30 min here in Duncan. More sun than overcast. Based on trajectory it appears the cells heading this way are still in NE Georgia at this point.

Clouds here are starting to thin even in Fayetteville.
temp and DP are in a track meet. 66F we likely get 70 before anything arrives

THICKENING FOG MEANS THE WARM, MOIST, UNSTABLE AIR IS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE.
Visibilities have been dropping across much of the Triangle area due to fog, which often times occurs just before the warm air, just above the surface, finally makes its way down to the surface. Where this occurs is going to be critical in terms of specifying where the tornado threat is going to be greatest. It still appears to me that the greatest threat will be along and east of the I-95 corridor, where temperatures are likely to take a quick jump upward this afternoon along with a noticeable increase in wind speed. Now if you live in the Triangle, here's a way you can make your own forecast. If skies suddenly brighten, the temperature jumps upward into the 60s to near 70, and the wind begins to gust from the south, then the threat of tornadoes late this afternoon has increased. But if it stays murky and cloudy with some fog, then the threat will be much reduced. Time wise the greatest threat appears to be in the time frame of 4-7pm, with the threat ending from west to east by early this evening. This is NOT an imminent threat, so we still have at least a few hours to watch this entire scenario evolve. Stay safe, but don't panic.

It has definitely brightened up here in Moncure, especially in the past 15-20 minutes. Temp is 61.5.

SC supercell printer go brrrrrrr
Looks like we are all wedged in here. Cloudy and drizzly, barely any visibility.
Can tell right off the bat that supercells today will probably be more mini/low topped in nature (which models struggle to show UH wise), may be some deeper updrafts later tho as instability increases
