Our best chances seem to be when it's 20%-30% like today. Pretty sure that was what I had yesterday and it was pouring in south Forsyth.

Yeah it did the classic "split and then develop just south of you" trick. Maybe I'll see something but I'm not too hopeful.

Looks like some storms developed north of me. Did you get anything?
Edit: Getting lightning here now. Should be here soon.

It did nothing more than a short heavy few drops. Just a mile or two too far north.

Insane heat and humidity 95° (113°HX officially at KCHS) fueled violent thunderstorms this afternoon which produced significant lightning, wind, large hail and significant flooding in the area.
A daycare just up the road had to be evacuated due to flooding today along with Old Trolley Rd and Dorchester Rds completely shutdown due to flooding. Also many trees were brought down by wet microbursts.
Video below is mine ... Intense lightning heralds the start of a long afternoon. The microbursts begin after 12 minutes to about 15 minutes in...with peak winds in excess of 60mph.

Had another nice storm tonight. Nice to get one to cool things off.
There's another thread for general thunderstorms. This one is for severe weather!

Landspouting Yesterday, barely visible but there at the middle of the screen (white funnel) , it went poof in the matter of minutes, there was several boundaries around that probably helped SFC vorticity, and there was still solid 0-3km MLcape around
