.14. I'm assuming the line out west will not survive the trip east

Probably a better chance up your way. These low clouds all day have pretty much solidified no chance today

Not a single rumble of thunder today, although got some moderate rain this morning and now some convective showers.

 

[Tarheel1]

Only light rain here. Luck of the draw. More irrigation this week. Looking forward to late Mon thru Wed for walking outside!

Not a drop here today!

That line died a slow miserable death to my west and now just some spotty light showers here and there..... looks like I will fall well short of .25 for the event. And to be honest I'm probably the only one not complaining about the lack of rain, with all the water issues I've dealt with lately I'll gladly take drought over too much rain any day.

Lot of hail reports with that storm rolling through Wake County. Some strong winds too, almost looks like it may have a little rotation but since KRAX is down using KAKQ and it's a long way from the storm so rotation if any should be aloft.

Rax being down is an issue this morning hard to see the rotation, this is out of Wilmington

Looks like that storm missed home to the south. Too close for comfort.

And once again Wake County has a bigger severe threat when there is no watch of any kind.

 

[RBR71]

This cell is nasty and Zebulon right in the crosshairs

Listening to Skywarn and a spotter reported seeing rotation in Zebulon.

Tree reported down on a car on Lizard Lick Rd.

 

[RBR71]

According to a retweet from Huffman lots of trees down on Hwy 264

This is where wx spotters come in handy. When radar is down.

For some reason the past few years Wake County has had more severe storms when we're not under a watch than when we are.

Yep, about to let loose here.

Slacked off for a minute but there was some pea sized hail falling with the rain. Gusty winds.

 

[RBR71]

Per Nash Co. Sheriff's Dept funnel cloud reported in Nash county, no warning currently with this cell but it does look impressive still

 

[Rain Cold]

Over here now. Very quick mover.
