Another storm with strong rotation off of the coast, heading on the same path, if it holds together we can expect another tornado warning for the same areas in about 45 mins.

By far a better looking storm than the last one, really nasty looking couplet with it. They are having trouble holding together though once the get to land as the warm front hasnt really moved west that much yet. Still only 50 here but it does look as if the warm front is really starting to move so there could be a 1-3 hr window where from say Greenville down to Fayetteville maybe and then points SE that get these cells forming like we currently have offshore.

I took video of the suspect circulation low hanging cloud just now as it is heading towards Maysville, I had clear sight with a open field and the rain stopped I'll try and upload. They just confirmed it dropped a waterspout on the new river , I should've went chasing lol, maybe next cell I will since it looks quite a bit stronger.

Saw pictures on WITN of a low hanging wall cloud/tornado as that cell was coming in North Topsail Beach, hard to tell if it was on the water but it was ugly looking.
