I don't think it's over for CLT or GSP. Brad P even mentioned the storms to the south. It's far from over.

Looks Gusty coming past Hillsborough and North
Weird system. Tornado warning here over an hour ago and now I’m under a Severe T-Storm warning. Pretty rare to see this with a linear line such as this. This training gots to go.

It does appear that the storms forming further south are almost creating a train of storms over the Charlotte area, it’s the perfect angle.

Two tornado warnings in our area this morning, almost 2.5 inches of rain via (http://weather.ggy.uga.edu/) on top of the half inch we got yesterday and it is SO humid outside. Still plenty of weather south and west of us. Y'all be safe!!
This is exactly what I saw here in concord NC, something dark in the rain shaft that was Rotating with lots of upward motion, so I was possible staring at a rain wrapped tornado ? as soon as it moved passed, winds got strong and winds was blowing towards it, conforming that i indeed probably saw a rain wrapped tornado, before that there was a faint roaring sound

There's like 3 tornado warnings on I-20 in GA right now if you go off radar, and storms that could get close with me are starting to look suspicious honestly. Been wondering for a while about that action.
Well shoot, floodwaters knocked over part of my fence in the backyard

55,000 Customers Already without power in the Carolinas per Duke Energy. I'm sure that will go up.
Same/Same near BOFA Stadium in Charlotte....Some are saying rain shaft, I think there was a Nader in my video too.
was right under that. on my way back to work and ish hit the fan. couldn't see the bumper of my car and the stoplight was doing loops from the wind. car started shaking back and forth and i barely was able to pull into a parking lot. started hailing and then was over. felt like the car was about to slide fof the road from the wind. not sure on speed but it had to be up there. wonder if they confirmed a touchdown?
on my way back i passed several trees and power lines down.
Violent lightning here now. Booming thunder. How strange

Tornado warnings here downgraded to severe thunderstorm warnings.
Yeah, the way the winds blew into it vs blowing away from it shows there was organization vs just a messy downdraft, and that part of the rain shaft was the only part that was dark, there was visible rotation in it to but it was hard to tell if anything was completely on the ground, I agree though in my opinion I think that was a tornado
storms are here. So far, they are a little underperforming imo

As the severe threat winds down for the Charlotte area, this training set up is going to cause widespread flooding.

Where in Charlotte was this? I don't think the tornado crossed my area but I heard some winds while taking shelter so I am not too sure.

Okay, I live in the Derita/Croft area about five to ten minutes north of Uptown, from what it seems I think the tornado passed to west of me.

this looks like the same storm i was under, from brad p.
Moved it for ya and yeah that line is legit insane
Wow that was a wild couple hours ... we had two bands of very intense rain and wind and sirens from UNCC campus were blaring for an hour or so .. very ominous and very exciting .. that was the most severe weather I’ve experienced since all of last year combined

Enhanced spin closer to the triple point?
I can tell you here well out ahead of the squall line, the winds here are screaming from the SSW with gusts close to 50 at times.

I can tell you I've been watching the area in South GA all day as I thought some discreet action may be possible and although there was one storm that looked like it wanted to try to rotate that was out in front (and it got severe warned shortly after I said it was suspicious), I'm not seeing anything, at least on normal radar. Those storms look strong but it kinda looks like they're consolidating to me.
When you realize there’s been tornadoes around CLT today, and SBCAPE has stayed at 100jkg or below, there’s been MUcape but that argues for elevated convection, this could be argued as a classic HSLC event
Could be. I mean, I am glad don't get me wrong, just a little surprised. We have over 1000 cape and obviously the winds. Could be the lack of lapse rates?

Apparently police officers are directing traffic near this area due to lots of parents trying to pick up their children from the schools in the area.

Not sure. Any insolation down here or just muddled layers of cloud cover? We've had occasionally some breaks in the clouds and during that time, winds became ferocious with more mixing.

That line coming through the Triangle looks wicked.

Getting some sun through high clouds and a few legit breaks.....wind getting gustier as well especially with the increased sun...temp went from 63 to 77 lol.....wont impact us as much probably though since the timing for us is several hrs after dark for the main squall line....
Here was some of the strong winds after that rotation came through, video doesn’t do its justice

Guess this is actually Brad's P backyard?
The dam below my house is compromised. I’ve only seen it like this once in my 31 years..and it damn sure wasn’t in February
His old house....
