1000-2000 J/KG WITH UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR PROFILES. TSTM ACTIVITY
OVER MS WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AS FORCING FOR LARGE SCALE
ASCENT SPREADS ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH

WX247, you found my local news station Channel 5 WCSC here in CHS!!!.
That building is only 3 miles from where I work!.

Incidentally, where the Summerville area (dot), I'm located just south of that by only a couple of miles.

Some cells developing in extreme E GA moving into SC now. A possible rocky afternoon for my area in about 3-5 hours.

Bigtime bow echoes

Check the loop out. Looks like an MCS to me.

Not only that...seems like you'd see a signature tornado on that outflow, but its racing at a good clip!

Cool Stormsfury!

Yes...some strong winds in there.

Jacksonville, Florida about to get pounded ...

Take heed, HG!!!

lol yeah its draping SE so it'll hang a little longer farther south....just what they need...more water!

Look at the composite radar reflectivity ... that baby just WEST of JAX just developed and I KNOW that's producing some hail!...Look at how deep the purple shows! 65-75 DBZ

Yeah the reflectivity within a few of those must have alot of frozen garbage within...hopefully no rotation before the coastline.

Yeah...definite hail. I was also looking back into Alabama. Looks like some wind potential there this afternoon.

Interesting situation just to my north/quite a bit more to my north until this evening. I have been in Melbourne, Florida the last several days.
