Wow! Impressive! Curious if you or anyone else in the area is seeing any signs of a lower hanging, rotating wall cloud w/ this thing? What I'm seeing via KRAX seems to suggest there's broad rotation at least in the low-mid levels.

Maybe a slight semblance of a wall cloud as it approached...nothing remarkable that I saw.

Ok! Interesting because Tim Buckley just posted a pic from their downtown skycam over Greensboro looking west and this definitely looks like a legit (probably rotating) wall cloud especially on the right part of the shot. Fortunately we have low 0-1 km SRH today or else this sucker would try to produce in a hurry.

Unlike yesterday, the progress of this slowly northward propagating outflow boundary extending along a line just north of Raeford, Fayetteville, Clinton, & Mt Olive may actually be worth watching later in the evening as a locus for t'storm development &/or intensification in east-central NC especially considering that storms have been firing along it at will around Kinston and Greenville.

Strongest storm on radar definitely appears to be practically over Piedmont-Triad International & headed in the direction of Greensboro.

Agreed there are at least a couple if low level boundaries going W to E across the state and a strip of higher instability as well. I feel like we probably see that stuff to our west congeal over time into a line that moves through.

I'm on the edge of a severe storm warning, but nothing is happening here.
 
Luckily low level shear is low today and there’s a storm to the south impending warm inflow into this sucker but still a legit chance this storm may produce.

Could see a brief spin up and or gustnado with this storm east of Greensboro but the shelf life of this storm and any tornado appears limited at best given how much the RFD is surging forward on this storm in addition to aforementioned unfavorable low level shear
 
Sister just took this pic somewhere between Burlington and Greensboro.

Just heard some thunder and got a special weather statement for a strong storm coming.

I'd be much more concerned if we didn't have that area of storms off to the west along the front side of the forcing. Now if that stuff starts to die off we are in trouble

The blank job indicator is lit.
 
Gotta be a nice wall cloud with this

What you see that I don't? I keep watching the Wilmington radar to see the updrafts getting started along the outflow and nada

Well you’re about to get underneath the hook on KRAX so you’ll probably have a decent look at whatever is left of the wall cloud this presumably has
