The prior TDS supercell that went through Conyers in Rockdale County appears to be cycling at the moment but it's still has a strong low-level circulation.  Those in southern Walton County towards Monroe needs to be watching this closely. 

Also the storm hitting the South side of Greater Birmingham is also intensifying as well! It's set to cross I-65 in moments with a strong TDS as well!

They’ve just increased the tornado threat level somewhat for tomorrow for E NC/far SE VA/far NE SC from 2-5% to 5-10%.

Thanks and I will be amending it

 Regarding just GA/NC/SC/FL:

 Look out for potential tornadoes tonight in much of GA, especially W portion, as well as in the W portions of NC/SC/N FL. The overall threat is higher than it appeared on Sunday when I last posted about this.

 

Eastern AL/western GA overnight...
   In response to the amplifying midlevel trough/deepening cyclone over
   the MS/OH Valleys, deep-layer flow and low-level moisture advection
   will increase tonight across AL/GA.  A surge of upper 60s
   boundary-layer dewpoints and strengthening low-level shear both
   appear supportive of supercells/tornadoes overnight in a broken band
   ahead of the synoptic cold front.  An isolated strong tornado or two
   will be possible.

There's a thread for it where all of the storms and potential tornadoes related to this event should be posted: 

Secondary tornado threat on 04/03 for the Virginia Tidewaters including the Hampton Roads (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Hampton, and Newport News) metro, Greater Richmond, The Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill), Fayetteville, the NC Outer Banks in North Carolina, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Jacksonville, Savannah, and Greater Orlando and the Tampa Bay area in Florida.

Well, it's the first significant threat of severe weather for the regional forum coverage for the 2024 season.  This looks to be a late day and potential nocturnal event so let's get to posting here versus the random observations thread.  

Major population areas within the tornado threat includes Greater Birmingham, Metro Atlanta, Metro Charlotte, Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson, and the Piedmont Triad area (Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point), and Columbia.

There is a boatload of supercells coming off the Atlantic into Southeastern NC near Wilmington.  These storms need to be watched very closely over the next few hours because the instability is increasing in that region

Catawba Cty tornado crossed I40.  Panovich tweeted 1 dead, 2 critical.  Sad.

I feel like the inability to pick up these type of quick spin-ups is the NexRad Level II radar void in coverage in the Charlotte Metropolitan area counties including Catawba County and the counties areas west of  Winston-Salem right outside of Metropolitan Charlotte near Wilkesboro. This is like the third time a quick spin up has been below the RAH, GSP, & CAE NWS radar scans thus no Tornado Warning issued prior to the storm. 

Likely tornado on the ground in Iredell County near Mooresville 

2 significant tornadoes were spun in West Palm Beach and Virginia Beach yesterday yet nothing about either nor the severe weather threats in the Southeast subforum. Can we please reconfigure the line up of geography from that Southeast subforum retitled to only eastern North Carolina  as the most posters seem to not post relevant anything except snow and bizarre IMBY observations in that particular area? We need a more centrally located subforum for the all forms weather across the South outside of the Triangle and Eastern parts of North Carolina. 

Columbia is in its path
