WilkesboroDude Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Clouds are rapidly growing tall here in Wilkes County...just heard thunder. Radar should respond soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 My backyard is a tropical rain forest. I believe all this moisture is drawing out all the frogs at night which is very annoying here. As glad as I am that y'all have been enjoying a stellar severe storm season it still pains me to watch all those great storms never move this way. I'll try to take a few pics or videos of how brown everything is turning here. no pops higher than 30% for the next 7 days either so its only gonna get worse.

1234snow Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Radar is starting to light up, here is the latest discussion out of Morristown: DISCUSSION...12Z OHX SOUNDING UNSTABLE WITH LI VALUES AT -9 ANDCAPES RUNNING CLOSE TO 4500 J/KG AND HIGHER PWAT VALUES TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. LATEST 13Z SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT MID-UPPER 60S DEW POINTS ARE ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. WATCHING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER INDIANA/OHIO CONVECTION...PUSHING SOUTHEAST THROUGH EASTERN KENTUCKY. BASED UPON RADAR/SATELLITE TRENDING...THIS SHOULD PUT THE BOUNDARY INTO SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA BY AROUND 17Z. WILL BE MONITORING SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA/NORTHEAST TENNESSEE FOR EXPECTED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FOR THE EARLY-MID AFTERNOON. WILL UP POPS FROM SLIGHT TO CHANCE CATEGORY FOR SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST TENNESSEE COUNTIES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 the tops are almost 45k feet in northern Wilkes and Surry Co. already, which is impressive so early. This earlier than usual start is a pretty good sign coverage will be good, so all is on target for east Tn, much of n. half of GA and western to central Carolinas. Even well after dark the convection could linger due to so many outflows and rich moisture, which is a little unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 This could turn out to be a record breaking hot summer unless things start to cool off. As of now, Atlanta has had 15 days of 90+, compared to only 2 days of 90+ as of June 9 last year. Last year, Atlanta ended up with 90 days of 90+, which I believe was the 2nd most ever. So they are way ahead of their pace last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 MD # 1153 A WW IS NOT ANTICIPATED. MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL AND DOWNBURSTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN RATHER LOCALIZED WITH PULSING STORMS...BUT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A MORE ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED VIGOROUS THUNDERSTORMS AS INSOLATION WEAKENED INHIBITION FOR BOUNDARY LAYER PARCELS. MIXED LAYER CAPE IS SIZABLE...IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG...ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...AND AS LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES CONTINUE TO STEEPEN...THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES WILL LIKELY BE FAVORABLE FOR LOCALIZED DOWNBURSTS...PERHAPS MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. HOWEVER...DEEP LAYER FLOW FIELDS AND SHEAR ARE VERY WEAK WITHIN THE CENTER OF LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC RIDGING. A SLOW PROPAGATION OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN INTO THE PIEDMONT OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTHERN GEORGIA APPEARS POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...IT CURRENTLY APPEARS THAT POTENTIAL IS LOW FOR COLD POOL CONSOLIDATION AND UPSCALE GROWTH INTO A STORM CLUSTER CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A BROADER SCALE DAMAGING WIND THREAT.

1234snow Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Now under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Thunder is growing louder and sun has gone away with numerous cumulonimbus clouds popping up. Edit: Some nice wind gusts opened the front door, no rain yet. Edit 2: Still no rain and the storm is refusing to drift south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherlover Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Looks like Hickory area is getting slammed right now.. Looks as if a few of the storms are now trying to drift into the Piedmont of NC.. Hope EVERYONE cashes in on at least some rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Severe thunderstorm warning for the Hickory area. The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Warning for... Alexander County in the Piedmont of North Carolina... western Catawba County in the Piedmont of North Carolina... eastern Caldwell County in western North Carolina... southeastern Burke County in western North Carolina... * until 400 PM EDT * at 302 PM EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated a severe thunderstorm capable of producing quarter size hail... and damaging winds in excess of 60 mph. This storm was located near Longview... or 3 miles southwest of Hickory... moving east at 5 mph. Another severe storm was located 4 miles southeast of Kings Creek. * Locations impacted include... Ellendale... Lake Hickory... Hickory... Bethlehem... St. Stephens... Conover... Newton and Claremont... Beginning to finally see some convection pop into the piedmont area. Good timing on its part since it's only after 3pm now. We could potentially get Southern NC and Upstate SC on the action later today if this can keep up. Catawba County, NC Severe Thunderstorm 64 dBZ Severe Hail: 70% Chance Max Hail Size: 1.75" Top: 41,000 ft. VIL: 59 kg/m² EDIT(3:35pm): Charlotte is in the process of getting slammed as I type, as well as northern Cleveland county. One lone shower has popped literally right on top of me and putting down some raindrops; your typical lone cloud shower type of deal. The cell from Mecklenburg appears as though it wants to migrate westward into my area and intensifying a bit as it does so. We'll see. http://gwxmanblog.bl...orms-today.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Quite a storm slammed into Downtown Marion in the past hour...Bev Perdue was at the Marion Depot for a big announcement on job expansion when the storm came crashing down. The lights flashed while she was speaking...is that a sign from above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Unbelievable. No rain since May 27th other than a few drops. Rain is on the east end of town and not mine - probably get +0.25. Happy for them, but frustrating business. Well, time to pull out the hose to water the garden again. Maybe we'll steal a shower yet. Storms have a very slow southern movement. Maybe since it is still early in the afternoon, the instability will be around for round two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
