Timing doesn't look great for a lot of the area except for eastern parts of the Carolinas where instability appears to be greatest. 18z NAM has CAPE values around 1500j/kg at 15z with surface temps pushing into the 70s with plenty of moisture to work with.

Local news said we would get storms between 7 and 9am. So far, we've had nothing, so it may skip mby. Radar is blocked on my work computer. :rolleyes:

 

NEVERMIND. I'm a dork. Wrong day. :nerdsmiley:  It's no wonder all of my patients have looked at me weird when I've said "Let's hurry and get you out of here before it starts storming". I need a day off. Bad.
