Severe Severe Threat April 5th-7th

Main event underway. I think these things are going to ramp up with a quickness.

Again I wouldn't call the PDS tornado watch a full on bust in Georgia/South Carolina but the rain that developed near Macon has helped hold it down somewhat.

Boy would it look bad for that other Tornado Watch that was JUST issued to have NO thunderstorms develop at all in some of it though.

Is a High Risk area the same as a PDS now? I haven't seen a PDS issued today, but perhaps the SPC has changed their nomenclature and I wasn't aware of the change.

18z NAM has several clusters of storms going through the Triangle later tonight/tomorrow morning.
 
Been sitting at between 57 and 58 degrees here in Dahlonega, Ga all day. Dewpoint fixed at 56. This is the kind of strong wedge that we would kill for in winter.
