Sitting and waiting to see what will unfold. Tornado watch in effect for the Charlotte metro and up as far north as Davie county in the Triad market.

Temps and dewpoints slowly creeping up. In fact, Columbia, SC now has a dp of 64 as of 10pm.

Based on a quick look at the temp and dewpoint trends combined with the progress of the cold front, I really think the severe weather potential will mainly be east of I-85...I am thinking GSP-CLT-GSO and points eastward.

Stormcast showing healthy development once the front clears the NC mountains, mainly in the midnight-2am time-frame.

Damaging winds and an isolated tornado remain the biggest threats.

About time to bust out the Chips Ahoy!
