We have been getting some decent sun all afternoon over the coastal plains. Really gonna have to see what kind if convection can maintain in the juicy air.
 
Pulled off in Black Mountain for a bathroom break. Looks like I am leaving the severe storms behind me, but it has been raining like crazy almost the whole way. Hate driving in this mess.
 
I made it home in one piece, at least so far. Kept a periodic eye on the radar for a while with a plan of telling my dad to get off the interstate if there was a tornado warning in my pathway, but there was only one case that got a little iffy and it was around lunchtime. I was eating at the KFC in Covington around noon, and the winds picked up to where it was a bit eerie for a few minutes and made me stop eating for a moment.

Now, a comment on the short range models from someone that was on I-75 in the morning as well. They were soooo wrong lol. It was straight up moderate to heavy rain nonstop on 75 from about Cartersville through Atlanta from about 10-11:30 AM. The visibility got to where it was awful at times. Convection might have tampered down the severe weather threat, but the rain did NOT go away. I saw lightning flash a couple times, once in my eyes, but it seems like there was only spots where it got iffy (dad thought he drove through a severe thunderstorm while I was napping, there was debris on the interstate and he had to change lanes to avoid some big debris).

I'm pretty good at seeing questionable storms on regular radar. There was 1 more questionable storm that we could've driven through that turned into a tornado warning in north Columbia County, and I saw it as questionable before it got there and commented on it.
 
The weather is no doubt bad for many, and prayers are with any and all impacted in any manner ...

Just watching videos and radar from afar is more than a bit disheartening, to say the very least.

Yet, this being a weather board, and for any that are interested in the dynamics, I offer the following (which are too big to post as .gifs, and hence are time sensitive) ...

https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/500hPa/orthographic=-99.29,49.14,586

https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/10hPa/orthographic=-99.29,49.14,605

https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-74.81,35.71,1907

They do shed some visual light on the forces at work.

Again, best and prayers to and for anyone who is in any way in a bad spot ...
