Overall it’s been a very pleasant spring. I know whats coming in about a month, so every good front feels like such gift right now

Can’t beat that!

Crazy the difference between our homes sometimes. We picked up over an inch and a half between yesterday and today

Good storm, nothing severe. Kinda trained over us. 1.19” in about 45 minutes. Might get another shower but that was probably the end of the heavy rain, cool outside now

0.42” yesterday

Yea it’s the same in all the Carolina’s. NC has more issues with wedge fronts in the springtime and many times tornadoes set up along the wedge front which bolsters activity in the Triad area in some events though those are rarely strong tornadoes. Really I think the limiting factors are storm track is usually west of the mountains and a lot of energy is lost coming over terrain and we being further from the actual low centers then In the Deep South/Mississippi valley.

One of the wildest tornado videos in history was that Myrtle Beach tornado that developed along a sea breeze front and roared directly down the beach in front of the high rises for miles. I think that was EF-2. Coastal fronts 9 times out of 10 wreck havoc on storms as they approach the beach and almost always cause them to be undercut and become outflow dominant. However, violent tornadoes and outbreaks like yesterday are exceptionally rare and the setup for discrete super cells like we saw yesterday out in the clear rarely materializes in that area. Really was likely a historic day yesterday but thank the lord it hit some of the least populated areas in the southeast. A really really close call with Columbia as well.

Video from the Pembroke, Ga tornado indicates likely EF-3 in my opinion

Interested to see the storm surveys from yesterday. Seems we had several violent tornadoes based on radar imagery and videos. I haven’t seen any ridiculous damage images yet, thank god, but it’s likely bc they mostly hit rural areas This afternoon will be interesting. Parameters for significant tornadoes are there but CAPE seems limited where they exist (northern Georgia). If we can get the sun out and more heating to capitalize on this, today could be another dangerous day. Tricky forecast though given the stable air from yesterdays event and remaining boundaries. Hi-res has backed off today on a widespread severe threat but I definitely think an few isolated tornadoes will happen (nothing close to yesterday) but a few could be strong given the shear profiles noted on NAM and HRRR modeling in central Georgia

The super cell that produced the above tornado is an absolute beast. Not everyday you see that structure in the low country. Terrifying

Significant outbreak underway. Multiple PDS warnings and a tornado emergency already. Wow

NWS confirmed EF1 from yesterday’s storm in RTP.

1.06” of rain to end the month with a monthly total of 7.37.” Happy for a wet month when we need it before the furnace

Brick id tell them to take cover soon. Looks like it lifted but it’s headed that direction

They got the warning up… after it touched down

Definitely otg now. Classic debris ball showing on CC

Shocked there’s no warning! Debris signature showing up now

Looks like a TOG NW of morrisville!!

Yep, severe T-storm just posted for these. One thing I do know is that’s quite the slug of moisture incoming for the triangle. Commute is going to be a mess, at a minimum

Active day with warnings so far but I have not seen anything indicating a touchdown yet

Went directly over my cousins office in Lakeside! They took cover under desks and said there was a visible funnel/lowering after it passed!

Tornado watch southern piedmont into SC. Going to be an interesting afternoon. Stay safe all

It may miss me to the east but the southernmost cell has a nasty look to it

Severe thunderstorm warning now

Storm west of Fort Bragg has actually developed some rotation. Seems like a day a spin up could happen quickly
