Well, that deescalated rapidly.  Went from looking like there were going to be widespread storms (some severe) to basically nothing now but stratiform rain in the upstate.  95% of rain events in mby have been stratiform this summer.  Everything started going to hell as soon as we got put under a watch and 80% pops.  Only damp pavement and a temp of 77° so we have most likely missed our chance once again.

Stratoform rain is the best, so your lucky! I had a deluge for about 10 minutes, and it mostly ran off, it was so hard. Stratoform soaks in much better!

I'm pretty sure there wasn't even enough to get past the leaves of plants.  Weather station isn't even registering any rainfall.  This is the most pathetic spring/summer for storms I can remember for mby.  I haven't even had a window rattling rumble of thunder since last year.

 

NAM not even close again.  I don't know why I even still bother looking at that model.

Overall the line at this time looks kinda garden variety, no big bowing segments or strong areas of rotation right now just a few areas that are worst than a average storm, dcape is high though so I am sure in the heavier rain areas there are some decently high gust maybe 40-60 mph in the worst of them......Durham looks to get a good one so anxious to hear from them guys...then down say Southern Pines towards Red Springs that section of the line has some decently high and expansive velocities so good wind there.

Storm damage reports are starting to roll in. Check out that boundary moving in from the SE just ahead of the line

 

Yeah could be good or bad., if its to marine layery( made up a word sorry)  it will shut it off.....of course it could also cause it to go nuts and might spin up a few rotations as well.......I leave for home in 10 mins and it take 15 to get hme so I will miss it hitting

Well between today and last Saturday, we managed to finally get some appreciable rain here in my area of Lexington, SC.  Taking anything we can get lately since most the storms have been falling apart this season.

 

The line is really meaning business towards the coast judging by radar earlier.  It filled in nicely per usual in the Eastern Midlands. Eastern NC could still have some good stuff going on now/soon.

 

Is it just me or are the models doing absolutely horrible lately on the simulated radar/precipitation amount end?
