Severe Severe Threat 4-13/14

Hmmmm noticing Temps and DP are pretty high south of the boundry... From ABC 3340 stream ..showed Jasper at 78/69.. pretty juicy
 
80 degrees here with a hot sun shining down. Clouds come and go and it's really windy, but first really warm day making me wish I had a pool! The rain seems very slow to get here.
 
Going out on a limb here, but folks in South Central GA need to keep a keen eye on this one ... Americus. Albany, Thomasville, Columbus ... :(
 
Looks to me like the local Birmingham NWS was right from the get go with a slight risk. Very little severe weather and no damage reports in Alabama other than a tree or two down. That’s a good thing, but the enhanced risk did not verify IMO.
 
Not sure this will be much of a severe threat when it gets here tomorrow. Alabama seems to be the place to be for severe weather in the country the last few years.

Meh. Wind threat is solid want to wait and see what's going on in the morning before jumping onto anything else

Hope my daughter can get her soccer game in tomorrow. Suppose to play at 3.
 
FFC thinks that there is a possibility of snow flurries tommorow night.
Behind the front, we will have abnormally cold temps advecting in
and will need to monitor some light rain to snow/flurry
transition possible early Monday in the far NE mtns. Thermal
profiles indicate very shallow saturation layer so not expecting
accumulations. Also will likely have some freeze/frost concerns
that forecast updates may need to include a Freeze Watch for on
Monday morning.

Little concerned about the 3k developing a secondary/mesolow in NC tomorrow

I'll be watching for a squall line progged to move through here near 2-5 PM with the potential of severe. Not looking forward to severe threat, of course, but hoping to get at least 1/2" of very badly needed rainfall. KSAV hasn't received 1/2"+ of rainfall on any one day since way back on 2/9!

Edit: 4/14 YTD rainfall at KSAV of only 4.33" is the lowest since way back in 1938!

The Heritage golf tourney at Hilton Head is starting the 4th round very early and is going in threesomes rather than twosomes on both hole 1 & 10 simultaneously to try to finish the round prior to the rain.

Already got over 7 inches of rain in places in my county. Streets are closed due to flooded. Water rescue are out
 
Getting a bit scary for us here in the foothills and western Piedmont

Interesting how almost all models seem to break the line up right before it gets to Wake Co. with the split in the action going right through Wake.
 
Went walking in the morning, not long after looking at the radar and seeing how ominous it was. Was comfortable to me, but pretty humid. Now hearing thunder in the distance. It's coming...
 
Should be clear on severewx in my part of the upstate. Heavy rain and no sun. The flood gates are open, however.
 
Looking at the RADAR trends.. You can see the MCV that is near Macon, ramping up the echoes from Dublin to near Monroe GA.. Have some concerns as this moves into the unstable air to the NE
 
Really strong storms back to my west in parts of Spartanburg Laurens and Greenwood counties. The SPC should get that tornado watch out soon.

Do anyone think Charleston could see some tornadic storms? Sun still out and temperature of 77 degrees.

Should take a while for this thing to get to you as it pivots. Maybe just before midnight. Temps should have a chance to drop but you are still in the enhanced area at the coast
 
Man if this line would have been just an hour later we could have really got crushed IMBY (just south of I85). Winter Spring Summer, timing is always more of a factor than storm dynamics

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 52
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1215 PM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of
East Georgia
Western North Carolina
South Carolina
Far southern Virginia
Coastal Waters

* Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 1215 PM until
700 PM EDT.

* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes likely
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely

SUMMARY...Bands of storms will continue to intensify and race
northeastward through the afternoon and early evening. A highly
sheared environment will support the possibility of line-embedded
circulations capable of tornadoes aside from wind damage, especially
with the more prominent bowing segments.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 50 statute miles
east and west of a line from 75 miles north northeast of Hickory NC
to 75 miles south southeast of Augusta GA. For a complete depiction
of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
WOU2).
 
This is a strange setup. The old “once the initial line moves through you should be in the clear” saying doesn’t really apply here since this thing is pivoting and moisture is moving almost due north. Curious to see how this thing plays out...
 
Lol the storms are taking forever to get to right "here". It's finally gotten to where it's a stone's throw away even though it was looking like it was two hours away in the morning..
