Areas Affected...va...de...nc

Concerning...severe Potential...watch Likely

Valid 151607z - 151700z

Large Scale Forcing Is Gradually Spreading Across The Cntrl
Appalachians With Leading Edge Of Primary Ascent Now Identified By
Shallow Line Of Convection From Augusta County Va...swwd Into
Caldwell County Nc. This Activity Should Gradually Increase In Both
Depth And Intensity As Updrafts Encounter Slightly Higher Buoyancy
And Considerably Greater Low Level Moisture...sfc Dew Points In The
Mid 60s. Although Instability Will Remain Somewhat Marginal Across
The Middle Atlantic...large Scale Kinematic Fields Certainly Support
Storm Rotation And Organization. Isolated Tornadoes Are Possible
But The Primary Severe Threat Will Be Damaging Winds In Association
With Forced Squall Line. With Time Severe Threat Will Spread Into
Sern Pa And Nrn Nj And This Area Will Be Addressed Accordingly.
Tornado Watch Will Likely Be Required By 18z.

Satellite just went out. Normally the first sign of a big storm coming. Wind is light. Clouds are getting darker.

Actually, it's all over. Sky is blue to the south, rain stopped, satellite is back! We're still technically in a tornado watch area.

Take this one seriously, folks! A friend of ours down in Smithfield, NC had several houses around her leveled last night with this system, and several of her horse fence gates and parts of her barn were torn to hell. We're heading down there here shortly to help her out. Don't take chances if you don't have to.
