Cool, what is its identifier?....I will look it up or get vortex95 to look into it. The Chesterfield County airport finally came online about this time last year.

I believe this one just reports sky condiiton....not the weather type. http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KFCI.html By the way, if we know what the three letter identifier is for the HR executive airport, you can use the link above, but just change the three letters after "K".

Billabong Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 HR is reminded once again of the dreadful wildfire smoke smell. Suffolk down to 3 miles visibility and it reeks outside. KFAF has been down to 4 miles with an appropriate FU (smoke).

Billabong Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Really busy days so far this week. Especially yesterday with those downburst winds. 78mph at the mesonet site at the CBBT (over the open water) and 70 mph at KNTU! Wow! Measured 58 mph at WAVY next to the Ntelos Pavilion, which has ripped once again. Oh, and ORF tied the record yesterday at 92°F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, Had to immediatly shut down computer at work and move away from the window I sit right next too. The tree outside my window looked like it was about to come right through and the lightning flashes and hail was enough to say, i'll get back to work after the storm passes. The boss agreed. haha.

WeSuck Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hey all, It has been a while. I finally found some time to edit and post my video of the May 24, 2011 Severe Thunderstorm to Youtube. I had an epic moment with a lightning bolt literally in front of me caught on camera. Check it out here and let me know what you guys think.

Billabong Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 great video. hopefully we will have dry weather ahead. So we can fall further into a drought? We are -6.59" below normal for the year at Norfolk. -7.33" at Elizabeth City, which is now considered to be in a severe drought. I talked to one of my friends dad recently, who is a farmer in Suffolk. He's really praying for some rain. Nice vid Coastal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climo says it's either tropical rainforest wet or desert dry in the Southeast/Southern Mid-Atlantic during the summer, usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeSuck Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Nice... sounds like it was about 0.1-0.2 miles away! Yeah, the main bolt was exactly up the street as I have pics of the tree it demolished. The bolt in my front yard was likely a branching out of the main one. Crazy moment for me with respect to lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 A nice surprise rainstorm blew threw this morning. Looks like a good inch or two for most of the area. I needed the rain too.

I have to disagree as when I slow it down to multiple frames per second you can see the bolt entirely from the sky to the yard. In any case, the video has over 60 views on youtube! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billabong Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thursday looking fairly interesting. Shear looks good. Instability looks questionable, but so far looks okay. Triple point low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Still questioning instability. The big question will be how many breaks in the cloud cover will we get tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
