WilkesboroDude Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 One discrete hail storm came up just east of the line south of Lenoir. Could become more severe if the convection west does not interfere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsross Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Wonderful TS and still lightly raining here in the ATL. This picture was taken from the fifth floor at my office. Not the greatest with my cell phone but you get the idea -- really low hanging clouds and a great vantage point for watching the storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think that's the same one that formed just North of Robert. It passed just to my west. I can currently hear the rumbles of thunder from it and see the clouds associated with it.

FoothillsNC Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 this line developing from eastern GA and the Upstate to the foothills of NC looks eerily similar to the big derecho event early April. Not sure what to expect here, but the line is starting to get that filled in look as it comes east of the mountains. I guess time will tell, but I certainly don't want any more 70 mph winds again...already had several episodes of that this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forward speed doesn't seem all that great remains to be seen if it can hold together further east. You can definitely see the inflow off the Atlantic even on radar.

ATL_Militarypolice Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Had a heavy thunderstorm roll through earlier in Lawrenceville. Heavy rains and pretty windy, I was in indoor batting cages, so couldn't verify, but thought I heard some small hail pelting the metal roof of the building. Needless to say a much welcomed and needed rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Fantastic rain event so far in N GA. .98" so far here in Dahlonega. Much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can definitely see the inflow off the Atlantic even on radar. true. The southern end seems to moving faster, now the models hada slight neg. tilt...so it may begin putting on the brakes more, but also they handle the mountains' effects terribly here. Many times, lines outrun the RUC by over 200 miles, just a couple hours away from prog. Already has done this in fact. Its always amazing to see that occurence, I try to incorporate it in my fx.

Looks like solid yellows, went fromlight greens, so north GA is getting it good. Hopefully we can get into something that widespread either tonight or tomorrow.

FoothillsNC Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Sitting on the back porch waiting for the line to come into eastern Rutherford County. Winds are picking up a touch. Lots of CG lighting... I think you may get clocked. the southern edge is racing faster than your area, so you'll probably get both a good line with high winds, then the training rain event tonight. Each 6 minute increment of the nexrad has the line getting well formed, much like the early April event, but not that forward propgating speed, still a big deal though. The upstate is about to get clocked in the central sections as well below Spartanburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Im closing in on .5". Less than I wanted but I will take it. Im finally over 1" for May. I saw a cool shelf cloud earlier too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ohhhhweeee, talk about your straight line winds! Man, when that line come through it was gusting 70 easy, and the biggest might have been more. That was like that derecho a few years back, only stronger. Man...not much rain, maybe a 1/4, but got the wind in spades!! T Nice to see you adding to your May total, even if it was a little breezy Woooo HOOOOOO!!!!!! I just get mega-slammed. Best storm I've ever experience imby. 10 straight minutes of hail, with the biggest stones falling at the tail end; around golf ball size. Enough to coat the ground!!!! The winds when the storm arrived were 60+ easy. numerous limbs down in my yard and a tree across the road about 100 yds away. It's about time!

Trambo Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 that line is rocketing from Spartanburg....will be here soon. Just got off the phone with my brother in southern Sptg county...heck of a storm there. Winds, hail, rain...the whole nine yards. Just had a siren go off here in Fallston. Why, I have no idea, according to the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 the line is intensifying and getting wider as it spreads out of Spartanburg. Uggg don't like the looks of that line, esp. with reports of trees down in Spartanburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
