Anyone have a TV news stream from the area?

 

Cant find one Brick.  Pretty sorry that there is no coverage in this area of the country but I guess the population there is pretty small.  The best I can find is Winston Co. MS scanner feed which is next in line to be tornado warned if the rotation continues.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1132 PM CDT THU APR 24 2014

VALID 251200Z - 261200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST

VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA...

...WEAK TO MODERATE

DESTABILIZATION /LESS THAN 1800 J PER KG MUCAPE/ WILL OCCUR AS

TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S F AND SFC DEW POINTS

CLIMB INTO THE LOW...TO LOCALLY MID 60S F. MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL

STEEPEN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS COOLING ALOFT OCCURS WITH THE

APPROACH OF THE UPPER IMPULSE. STRONG SHEAR COINCIDENT WITH THE EXIT

REGION OF THE MIDLEVEL JET WILL OVERSPREAD THE SLIGHT RISK AREA AND

AID IN ORGANIZATION OF THUNDERSTORM UPDRAFTS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS

INDICATE CYCLONICALLY CURVED...ALBEIT SMALL...LOW LEVEL HODOGRAPHS.

THIS WILL MAINLY SUPPORT INSTANCES OF LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY

DAMAGING WINDS. HOWEVER...A TORNADO OR TWO IS POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS

NE NC INTO EXTREME SE VA

That line in NE central TN is getting better organized which will be where the storms come from later today. Hope it holds together would be nice to see some storms this afternoon. The thing that concerns me is the coolness and clouds are presisting. Need the sun to come out in full force to destablize the atmosphere.

 

Looking on radar there is a few isolated shower cells showing up over Caswell, Person and Pittsylvania counties atm.

Sunny here in north Raleigh right now. I know usually the sun being out beforehand can stir things up, but the last two times we had severe storms here it was coudy and rainy all day.

Ahoskie looks like a good "home base" for storms this afternoon.

 

Me and Shaggy are going to head north sometime this afternoon maybe Oak Cityish and then wait to see what goes down, hell might even try to drag Bozart with us.... however with the latest updated SPC meso info it might be a bit more widespread and we might not have to go far at all.

oh hai 10% shaded tornado probs on 1630 OTLK

 

Yeah oh oh lol, rather bullish

 

   TWO MODES OF CONVECTIVE INITIATION ARE EXPECTED TODAY - A FEW

   DISCRETE CELLS IN THE DESTABILIZING WARM SECTOR BY EARLY-MID

   AFTERNOON...AND A BAND OF STORMS ALONG THE CONSOLIDATING COLD

   FRONT/LEE TROUGH BY MID-LATE AFTERNOON INVOF CENTRAL NC.  IN

   CONJUNCTION WITH THE WARM SECTOR DESTABILIZATION...VERTICAL SHEAR

   WILL ALSO BECOME FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS.  THE SEASONABLY RICH

   MOISTURE AND MODERATE BUOYANCY...ALONG WITH EFFECTIVE SRH OF 200-300

   M2/S2...WILL SUPPORT A RISK FOR SEVERAL TORNADOES...INCLUDING AN

   ISOLATED STRONG TORNADO THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING

TOR Watch coming soon -- http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0402.html

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0402   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK   1146 AM CDT FRI APR 25 2014   AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF CNTRL/ERN NC...SRN VA   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY    VALID 251646Z - 251915Z   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT   SUMMARY...THE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING TORNADOES WILL   INCREASE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND A TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY   BE ISSUED DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS OR SO.   DISCUSSION...SFC OBS INDICATE LOWER/MIDDLE 60S SFC DEWPOINTS   SPREADING NWD OVER THE NC/VA PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN IN ADVANCE   OF A POTENT MID/UPPER PV MAX CROSSING THE CNTRL/SRN APPALACHIANS.   DIURNAL HEATING HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MLCAPE AROUND 1500 J/KG S OF A   NWD-RETREATING WARM FRONT ANALYZED FROM SRN VA TO NERN NC.   INCREASINGLY AGITATED BOUNDARY-LAYER CU AND INCIPIENT CONVECTION   OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN SUGGEST THAT WARM-SECTOR INHIBITION IS   LIMITED...AND STORMS SHOULD INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY   ACROSS THE AREA AS DEEP ASCENT PRECEDING THE PV MAX AND ITS   ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA. FURTHERMORE...   STRENGTHENING MID-LEVEL FLOW/DEEP SHEAR -- E.G. AROUND 50 KT 0-6-KM   BULK SHEAR PER FCX VWP -- WILL SUPPORT ORGANIZED STORM   MODES...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS/BOWING SEGMENTS   WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. LONG/CURVED LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS   ENCOURAGED BY RELATIVELY BACKED SFC WINDS -- PARTICULARLY ALONG/E OF   A DEVELOPING LEE TROUGH OVER THE PIEDMONT -- WILL YIELD THE RISK FOR   TORNADOES.   ..COHEN/THOMPSON.. 04/25/2014   ATTN...WFO...AKQ...MHX...RAH...ILM...RNK...
