Brick Tamland Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Maybe I jumped the gun on the winter storm next week, but it does look like there is a legit threat for severe storms in the southeast tomorrow and Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 You jumped the gun on the dates too. 2/20 - 2/21 would work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Good deal. If we get some instability, look out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Might as well make it official. 1. Brick starts all storm threads. 2. Stevie Wonder starts all obs threads. 3. Pastor Fred Phelps starts all banter threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Timing doesn't look great for a lot of the area except for eastern parts of the Carolinas where instability appears to be greatest. 18z NAM has CAPE values around 1500j/kg at 15z with surface temps pushing into the 70s with plenty of moisture to work with.

gritsnc Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Local news said we would get storms between 7 and 9am. So far, we've had nothing, so it may skip mby. Radar is blocked on my work computer. NEVERMIND. I'm a dork. Wrong day. It's no wonder all of my patients have looked at me weird when I've said "Let's hurry and get you out of here before it starts storming". I need a day off. Bad.

deltadog03 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 RAP and HRRR (3KM) are showing more and more CAPE with each run over GA. I still dont' think we (MCN area) has too much to worry about, but signs are little stronger a few could pull down some nice wind gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 BTW guys joint he party here if you're watching radar for the TN Valley threat today: http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/42964-tennessee-valley-severe-weather-feb20/?p=2818617 It's so quiet you could hear a pin drop in there, strange as there's 7 tornado warnings up.

Disc Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Cell is SW Alabama is looking pretty good as well. It's out by itself right now and a good candidate for putting something down -- Interested in what it does in the next few scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 The Columbia storm is now near Sumrall MS, still big velocity signature, lots of them today but not many strong tornadoes due to conditions preventing their formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 One bolt of lightning in downtown winston as the band blew through. Sounded like a cannon went off. One huge bang but almost no rolling thunder. Mother Nature is signalling the start of spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
