Oh god. Okay, so, look up "Joro spider", cause it may be that. They're a large orb-weaver type spider (makes giant-ass webs, but harmless) that was brought over to the US from Japan and very recently was classed as an invasive species.

Alternatively, it might not be, can't really tell the exact characteristics and coloration because of the angle and lighting though. I can almost 100% guarantee to you it's some type of orb weaver though.

Last update, think I was half-right. Like I said, almost guarantee it's a type of orb-weaver, but look up the "black and yellow garden spider". Leg pattern seems to match up quite well. Can't 100% confirm this cause your photo seems to be the backside, so I don't see that much yellow lol.
