jrips27 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EWD FROM APPALACHIANS INTO LOWER ELEVATIONS WHERE A MDTLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS RESIDES. WHILE SHEAR IS AROUND 30KT...COLD POOL DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED TO LEAD TO CLUSTERS/SHORT LINES SEGMENTS MOVING EWD ENHANCING POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE INTO THE EVENING.

ryan1234 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 This system is like most others this year. Looks wet then dries up. Will be lucky to see .25 here this weekend into next week. Unless things change this will be another hot and dry summer here in the Southeast. Speak for yourself..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD_Wedge_NC Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 wow thanks to everybody on the nice compliments. Means a lot (boosts me on an otherwise dreary Friday).

I know how you feel since I've had the same thing happen here with storms before. We somehow managed to get .48 here around 8 pm tonight from a nice little storm. Hoping for more tomorrow.

phil882 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I had a little bit of free time today, so I decided to go up to the parkway and watch the storms come in with a buddy. Boy was that sure a good decision, as we had some awesome cloud views, and got caught in a hailstorm at Mt. Mitchell State park that produced pea sized hail. Really fun day overall. Here are a few photos! Ended with about .25" at the house today. Not bad, but I thought I'd be coming back to more considering two storms went right over my location.

SN_Lover Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Storms were not that bad in downtown Charlotte. Moderate rain and blustery conditions were observed. I did see some intracloud lightning to the North though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Nice pics Phil! Had a couple move overhead here but were not that impressive. About .24 total with very little lightning. I also notice the chances are looking down today hopefully we can get some good storms going this after noon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Pretty good downpour yesterday afternoon at the north end of lake lanier. Saw a small waterspout beforehand-there were surprisingly strong gusts right before the rain began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Front about to go through, no rain here at all. After a wet start, May is turning out very dry, and I am not sure we will get all that much coming up either. Boo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Front about to go through, no rain here at all. After a wet start, May is turning out very dry, and I am not sure we will get all that much coming up either. Boo.... Yeah I'm pretty disgusted. It hasn't rained much here for quite a while. The top soil has completely dried out and the grass is dying or is dead everywhere. I cut grass..i mean weeds, yesterday and I had to use a damn mask because of all the dust. I was afraid of this since the models kept getting drier and drier, despite FFC giving us high pops which I didn't understand giving the dry model output. Now we will have to wait at least another week for any. Sucks big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 A Flash Flood Watch has been issued here like everyday.
