Evening wrap-up....

The showers and storms that raced well out ahead of the cold front and into our area early this afternoon effectively ended any severe weather chances in the western Piedmont. I don't think many folks are complaining.

Looks like that early afternoon activity was driven eastward by outflow boundaries from earlier intense storms over Tennessee and Alabama. Had that activity hung back in the mountains, our atmosphere would probably have been unstable enough for severe weather when the dynamics arrived at mid to late afternoon.

Like I said though...no complaints with the lack of severe weather...would have liked to see more in the way of rain though.
