Brunswick County tornado got upgrade to 165mph EF3 yesterday making it the strongest NC tornado since an F4 in 1998. Still not final as far as I can tell. EF4 probably not likely but may not be out of the question.

"Continuing northeastward, the tornado crossed Saw Pit Swamp and entered the Ocean Ridge Plantation community. Here the tornado became exceptionally powerful as it damaged or destroyed a large number of well-built brick homes. Wind speeds of at least 165 mph are inferred to have occurred as several homes suffered complete destruction of all walls. Debris from one home was swept completely clear of the foundation. Multiple fatalities and injuries occurred."

 
Damn that South Georgia temp gradient. 72/66 is pretty ripe for cold szn svr

Latest model forecast data show a high amplitude trough of low
pressure moving across the central CONUS and toward the east coast
today with strong jet level winds. While trough steepness decreases
toward the coast, plenty of strong dynamics (low level speed shear,
vort maxes, etc.) associated with height falls will bring chances
for thunderstorm development with a possible development of a
tornado, especially near the coast sometime this evening.
