Most this week was between 85 and 96 and sunny. Yet Thursday it was windy and rainy part of the day, as well as cloudy and only about 64 degrees out. Friday was warmer, and sunnier, but then we had a rainshower for about 30 minutes about 6PM. Today it was back to 80s out but cloudy in morning. Then around 12PM, we had heavy rainstorm with some severe lightning. Then that passed and now it sunny and beautiful out. So lots of weather this week here. They're saying tornado risk again tomorrow, like the pattern of last Sunday.

(a setup like the forecasts show pretty much says there will be tornadoes...lets hope it just stays as the weak EF-0/EF-1 ones) --------- Storm outlook maps for today are attached below.

They're calling for heavy rain and thunderstorms here tomorrow. No chance of tornadoes this time but we might get some heavy downpours and gusty winds tomorrow. On Saturday, we might get some isolated severe thunderstorms with hail possible. I guess the nice April weather wasn't going to last forever. Definitely the time of year for some of our wildest weather.

When I looked at the weather in the morning & seeing the storm outlooks for yesterday, I'm not surprised there was tornadoes. Everytime I looked at radar (random times during the day til about midnight) there was atleast one tornado-warned storm somewhere. .. .looks like storms probably went on all night too.  Saw a few tornado warnings on radar this morning & looking just now there's 2 in GA. ---------- @CEB1993: Not sure where in SC you are, but part of your state is in the convective outlook highlighted area (and tornado outlook as well)

We have forecast of rain storms late tonight, although I haven't heard any yet, through tomorrow morning. Then more coming in afternoon to about 4PM. Possibly Friday night/early Saturday morning as well and then again later Saturday afternoon. Probably cloudy for the weekend. So lots of thunderstorms, and up to 3" of rain predicted, and possibility of tornadoes tomorrow morning, and high winds. Seems now to fit the pattern of storms coming each weekend.

@Lumex120, here's a video that isn't as good, of the same Oklahoma tornado. It's a compilation. Main reason why I bring this up is because the first video in the compilation has a different angle of the area in Pecos Hanks video. Pecos Hanks car was in that video shot. Unfortunately the person filming stopped filming very quickly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tebnW3dyEcc

I got SLAMMED with severe thunderstorms today  We had three storms in a row “train” trough northwest SC each with gusty winds and heavy rain. The final storm that struck at about 9:10 p.m. produced dime sized hail, two tornadoes and a blast of heavy rain. We had marble sized hail and at least 2 confirmed tornadoes in my county. We had to seek shelter at work tonight and anxiously wait for the storms to pass. Fortunately they were fast moving. We sheltered for about 15 min and the power went out. Ended up going home from work a few minutes early and having to detour on my way home because the roads were a mess and power was out everywhere. Many trees down and several car wrecks. Thank the Lord my car didn’t get hail damage! Scary thing about today’s storms is how suddenly they struck. I’ll be excited to see the news reports to see how strong the tornadoes were. It’s been a remarkable April for the South so far with many tornadoes and unfortunately a few deaths. Check out below for the radar images in my area.

@CEB1993: I was radar-watching some of those tornado-warned storms in SC earlier tonight. A couple interesting city names I saw on the map: Travlers Rest, & Welcome . sometimes its fun just to go looking at names of all the little towns in an area when checking out storms...

Yeah those might've been weaker Supercells @CEB1993. They definitely have that Supercell look to them. Seems like individual Supercells pack the bigger punch most of the time compared to embedded Supercells within Squall-Lines. Luckily they weren't quite at that strength though, but they could've gotten there from what I see on that radar. Glad you're ok! Nice Drone in that advertisement at the bottom of the screen btw. haha

Nice Drone in that advertisement at the bottom of the screen btw. haha Thanks Suzukir122! Definitely ready for some calmer weather today. Yeah, these were super cells. They weren’t part of a big squall line or a cold front. The damage around my workplace was the most severe in town. Below is a picture of the tornado that touched down on Laurens Road about 5 miles away from where I was yesterday  This picture was submitted to our local news company. Really a beautiful example of a swirling funnel cloud! @ Xmaslightguy, we do indeed have some unique town names in my region  Travelers Rest in the north part of the county was one of the hardest hit yesterday with quarter sized hail and tons of wind damage. Wade Hampton blvd. is a major road through the middle of my town. Many familiar stores on that road were torn up by wind damage. Was not expecting to ride out a tornado yesterday, but I survived

@CEB1993,  Yeah that is definitely a Supercell, dropping a tornado in this case. Definitely a dangerous situation right there. You lucked out man because of course, that situation would've been much worse had that storm been stronger. But that was Supercell storms that went over you. I wonder what that tornado strength was? Definitely not F4 or higher, but I'm betting it was at least an F2 or maybe F3. I'm also glad you didn't get a direct hit from it!

@CEB1993: To me unique city names are a good thing. That's quite an impressive looking supercell (honestly -disregarding the damage they do- they're beautiful clouds) Glad you're ok I shoulda did radar screengrabs of the velocity & hail-core on that thing. @suzukir122: Yep be interesting to see what its rated after they do the DI
