Severe Poss severe threat late this week

I give myself a B+. I underestimated the overall coverage of the wind and I was seriously believing there would be an elevated tornado threat in SE AL. All in good fun. That is the first event I've followed from start to finish in years.

I'll use it as a crutch when I absolutely bomb the next one.

I know you didn’t even ask lol, but I Give myself a C+, kinda fell into the HRRRs trap of supercells firing out ahead of the line, even if it did have support, hrrr is very known to do that, overall unidirectional flow nearly to the SFC and flow parallel to system made this more of a wind event

Hey at least you had a good idea that had a little support. I bombed the event last spring bad. I paid for it too with a nice supercell that dropped a tornado a mile from my house. I won't ever forget that day, almost tied with April 27 as far as discrete supercell go. Just produced weak tornadoes thank goodness.
 
Going to need some warnings East of Asheville NC. Looks like line strengthened East of the city.
 
NC gonna be surprised imo. Not often does a line survive the mtns, after dark, in middle of January, and restrengthen.
 
Many trees coming down across western NC. Brace for impact Wilkesboro, Hickory, Statesville and Winston-Salem. Huge wind.
 
This is my house in the background with a funnel cloud. This is near Union Grove about a mile or so from Brindlee Mtn Primary that has severe damage. Several friends in North Arab have damage too.Screenshot_20200111-143749_Facebook.jpg
 
Tens of thousands of homes/businesses without power on Duke Energy in NC. And this was before the line started restrengthening. Esp. Henderson County, NC looks hard hit.
 
Tornado watch extended eastward to include Statesville and other nearby cities.
 
This thing is really ramping up in the upstate..wow..I’m behind the line now but damn that was a dicey couple of minutes
 
Tornado warning for Chester, Union, and York county in South Carolina.

EDIT: Second Tornado warning issued for couplet just to the south in Fairfield and Newberry county.A3A3A623-A02C-46A9-A497-67B22AEEEFA2.png
 
Well, the storm came and went. Actually weakened again in the southern areas of the line thankfully. Hopefully it isn't too bad northeast of here, there's still an area that looks nasty.
 
Had prolly 40-45 mph wind gusts at max, very tropical feel with smaller raindrops but lots of them and wind vs big raindrops, must be from the intense LLvL jet
 
Holy heck! Just been BLASTED for a good while. Finally, slowing down here. I’m sure @MichaelJ can attest as he’s closest proximity to me. Appreciate the hard work and professionalism from NWS Raleigh. However, missed the mark on this one. Good thing I read GSP and RNK, VA discussion so this came as no surprise. NOT Dissing NWS Raleigh as this is a very dynamic system.

Still about an hour or two west of me but the line is maintaining and none of the hi-res models really show this still being this strong. Not sure what to expect as this tornado warned section will be what gets my area.
 
Tornado warned section should stay south of me but I should catch the northern end of the storms going through goldsboro. Wish they would hurry up. Tired and now I have an awake 4yr old because of the alarms that came over our phones.
 
Storms moving a little north of east and I'm the little blue dot over by greenville. Pretty sure theres no ground truth to the tornado warning but I may catch enough of this storm to get some strong winds.

Luckily they have weakened and no new warnings as this line approaches me. Should catch the brunt of whatever it is these are packing. Just heard thunder where they had no lightning earlier so maybe a new pulse up in intensity.

Line came together nicely as it hit. Lots of roaring wind just aloft but nothing too horrible at the ground. Gonna guess 35 to 40 at the surface but man the noise had me convinced we were gonna get nailed

This is the remnants of the previously tornado warned storm and it is way more violent than the first storm. Much stronger winds.
