QLCS weakened considerably over the last few hours.  What came through here was eventful but not much to write about.  Better luck to you guys in SE GA and the Eastern Carolinas if you like severe.  It was a super under-performer in the slight risk area.  

We are in the dead of night and they are moving quicker, no surprise

The Carolinas will likely get some help from the trough tilting negative on Friday. The dynamics are just sick over central/Eastern NC by 2pm.

it was hyped up pretty decently.  Midnight isn’t exactly the dead of night either,  it’s not like it’s 5am.  Jmo,  hopefully for those who like severe things will crank up farther east into eastern NC tomorrow with some heat and less north to south orientation of the dynamics.

Yeah if ever there was a setup for widespread straight line wind damage this is it....to add to that this last frame from the last HRRR run has a lot of small semi discrete cells right where you dont wanna see them...

Widspread straight line wind event hopefully is an overstatement.  I’m seeing wind damage as well but more being drawn down in the stronger cells as opposed to a derecho event.  I haven’t seen guidance showing a derecho but that doesn't mean it isn’t there either.

The LLJ is literally record setting over NC tomorrow for this time of the year especially the eastern half of the state with 925 winds 50-60 knts and 850's over 70-75 knts......a strong rain shower will mix that down so I think it is possible to see winds at least 40-50 along the line even where the storms are weakest...with plenty of 55-75 reports mixed in.

The latest HRRR is rough, semi discrete line with a following squall line....the timing sucks too would put it around 4-8pm on a Friday when it is crossing central/eastern NC.....

Where can records be found for these LLJ winds?

 

Wind is very hard to estimate but the line that came through here was whipping would not have been surprised if it was 40-45mph for a brief time.

The second round has been organizing itself for the last couple of hours and finally develops callable circulation right before it passes me by ... (in S Forsyth County)

 

We've had thunder and light rain for some time, now it's just much louder, much windier, and much heavier rain.

I was within a mile of one of the tornadoes back in April of 2011.  I could hear it very well (loud roar) and found paperwork in my yard from a house that was 30 miles away.  Several homes were wiped off their fondation.  Hopefully nothing like that day materializes today.  I usually keep up with the weather but that day I was not, and had no clue what was going on.  My first clue that something bad was near was the changing wind direction as the storm progressed.

Moral of the story, keep an eye on things today, surprises can pop up fast.
