We broke out around 10am in the coastal plains and the temp jumped up fast. Still under mostly full sun with a few high clouds at times. HRRR has cone around to showi g a better line of storms so we will see if these inhibiting factors can be overcome.

Yeah I was forecast for .50 and all I've had is 10 minutes of sprinkles. Quite an underperformer for my backyard.

It's been raining pretty hard in greenville for the last hour.

Seeing the shad fishing do ok right now and had tons of fun today catching a bunch.

Veronica is looking nasty and it's amazing how well trevor held together. He should reorganize quickly once he is away from land.

This is supposedly the Arkansas tornado from earlier. Doesn't "look" super violent bt fairly nice wedge.

The start and end times matched with miles traveled shows most of these tornados were just flat out hauling ass.

Me and downeastnc have a bet riding that we wouldnt see any more winter weather. He is all happy that the models are trending wetter. I still say it will be hard to get accum snow north of highway 70 in the coastal plains unless the models really blow up the precip on the NW side.

Damp cold 43 degrees here this morning. River is really close to over running the sidewalk at the town commons in greenville.

This guy basically drove right into the back of the circulation. Later in the video you can see the massive size of this tornado.

The trend all year was for storms to cut and I know it's not scientific but some years we see snow every couple weeks or like this year it seems to rain every Saturday. Repetitive patterns dont seem to break easily. Another example is the year DC had 3 to 4 huge storms. That year the pattern was repetitive relative to storm track. This year is the same just with a much further northwest track.

Doesnt look as good as it did 36 hours ago but still lots of time for things to shift and change

Temps gone from 55 to 41 over last couple hours.

Rain dumping here and the wind has ramped up quite a bit over the last 30 minutes as the rain shield back edge is appro approaching.

Currently sitting at 52 here in Greenville while 45 miles away in New Bern they are sitting at 73. warm front is moving north and we just cleared out and went slight sun so i suspect the temps are coming just late day. Kinston went from 54 to 61 in one obs.

Yeah the temps are not good enough but like CR says we need precip to even worry about any chance at all. Just sucks the euro and fv3 showed some good hits a few days ago and now we may get the storm but be too warm.

Not sure temps would be good enough even if we do get the precip to work in on the Monday storm for the coastal plains.

The kid is saying he was befriended by a purple bear for 2 days while he was out there or so it's been leaked. Story gets stranger by the hour.

See for us eastern guys those members showing snow that far west are probably killers for us east of 95 but I havent seen them. Sadly when we see our biggest storms the precip rarely gets west of rdu

Anyone else questioning the story of the missing 3yr old boy in craven county? I know 2 guys that went down to help search. They both said their were hundreds of people looking. Multiple helicopters including 2 state trooper ones with FLIR and 6 trained dogs that never struck his scent. He was found only 1/4 mile from his yard. Seems that many people,dogs and helicopters would have seen or heard him. Add that he was found following a "tip" it all seems odd. He went missing Tuesday wearing just a jacket and was missing for 55 hours? 12 of those hours were below freezing with 4 hours in the teens. A 30lb 3 year old surviving that is either the most incredible story or there is something amiss here.

Us eastern guys need a big dog. We havent had more than 8 inches in one storm since back on the boxing day storm in 2010. This one could pop and surprise us but we dont need too much popping here east of 95. I measured 17 inches in the dec 3rd 2000 storm and that's sort the benchmark I would love to see again.

I prefer suppression for us coastal guys until just a couple days out. We never fair well when we are shown to get hammered early. The nw shift always kills us. I remember a storm several years back that was suppose to give the immediate coast a inch or so. Very tight gradient in qpf and it shifted nw by 50 miles and they got 7 or 8 inches right on the beach. As weird as it sounds for us coastal guys I'm 100% happy with where we are. Not expecting anything and if it does work NW maybe just maybe I'll see some snow if temps are good. Nothing to lose.

Just went through this heavier shower and it was almost surprising how rough it got. Wind was gusty Into the 30s but the rain was blinding.

Man from around 530 or 6 until 8 it just dumped here in pitt county. Plenty of poor drainage flooding ongoing.
