EmersonGA Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Ive been getting pounded. 1.15" and counting with hail mixed in at times. We tried to cut across the lake into emerson to get home but trees are blocking the road. 75 is a zoo with people driving witht their flashers on. That drives me crazy.

MotoWeatherman Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 got .30 from first storm to come through in Dahlonega. Second line hitting now... I'm at .31" total so far. Did manage to measure a 35mph gust though. Was driving up GA400 thru Alpharetta when the best of that line was going thru at around 9pm. WOW. Had to drive 20mph and had pea size hail. Not fun!

SharonA Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 OK, I gotta admit - that outflow heading SW from the Atlanta storm complex ... and leaving a trail of popup storms behind it ... is one of the coolest radar sequences I've seen lately. It would make a great accompaniment to a lecture. (meanwhile, we're getting continual rumbling thunder, some reflected lightning flashes, lots of windy bursts, but overall the bulk seems to be passing north of us again ...)

Glad you asked! here is the lecture.... This was an FFC boogle!!! Let me tell you about my last hour....at 10:20pm hear rush of wind...then a bzzzt...then more wind....and another bzzt...wham bang bam...no power(incidently the only two times this year we lost power was with non-thuderstorm winds)....Immediately I cked radar..since I didn't hear any thunder....the only thing between me and Atlanta was an outflow boundary....WE got NAILED with a gravity wave! then...after 45 minutes FFC issues a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the counties below me!!! There were not even any thunderstorms there!! Then as that was being issued, a tiny thunderstorm developed on top of me....I'm on the north end of the county.....no where near their warning polygon!! That was a bunch of whooie! Troup County should have had a high wind warning....We had trees down confirmed by Diverse power....That little SVR warning in Harris county below us was a cop out! Storms had not even developed in that area yet....The only thing in the warning polygons were the outflow/gravity wave. In the event I am wrong about this, I will gladly issue my apologies. End rant.

Turner Team Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wow that's one heck of a bow echo south of Charleston, SC. It's gotta be producing 70-80 mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 You are likely one of the few in Georgia given this radar image. We got some rain now so I'm happy. Looks like almost everyone in GA will get at least some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 after 45 minutes FFC issues a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the counties below me!!! There were not even any thunderstorms there!! As far as non-met me can tell, the reason they got the warning down south was because that's where the boundary was, and it was generating some SVR-level winds. I noticed the warning pop up enclosing that gust line and out of curiousity pulled up the warning text to see just what was going on (since the closest storms were the ones firing off in the counties behind the line): AT 1101 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A LINE OF DAMAGING WINDS UP TO 60 MPH. THESE WINDS ARE WELL AHEAD OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT PRODUCED THEM...SO THE DAMAGING WINDS WILL OCCUR WITHOUT LIGHTNING OR RAIN IN THE AREA. I don't know if it's normal to issue a SVR in this case, or if some other warning type is traditionally issued. It makes sense to warn people "hey, you've got really strong winds coming, and it's going to be with no advance notice such as you'd expect - approaching thunder, lightning, and so on". Those guys got the type of warning you might have wanted for that wave. The thunderstorms sure popped from "tiny" to "boomer" quickly, in a couple of frames. It didn't take much once the wave (or boundary elsewhere) hit. *pop* *pop* *pop* green-then-red everywhere all over my screen. We just finished up with the current round in western Douglas County. About 30 minutes ago it finally moved south enough to hit us. Nearly the perfect spring thunderstorm: enough lightning and thunder to be a cool show (without doing real damage), a good soaking rain (hopefully not heavy enough to mess up the driveway), and winds to clear things up and out (but not strong enough to do real tree damage). (No hail, and nothing wind-otherwise that was reportable to NWS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The rejuvenation of the squall line in the southern portion of SC was a bit unexpected, considering the SPC didn't include this region under the slight risk at 20z. However, tonight represents a great case example of how sea-breeze convergence can help rejuvenate a decaying MCC. Here is an IR loop below of the MCS and I've highlighted a few features so it can be easier to see what happened. Storms didn't fire further north in SC and into NC mainly because there was no substantial CAPE into NE South Carolina or North Carolina. The combination of high CAPE (+3000 J/Kg) in addition to a pre-exiting convergence zone was sufficient to re-energize the MCC and thus we saw another round of high winds with several bowing segments. Very cool severe weather day for the southeast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
november rain Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Had 1 1/2 inch of water in the gauge after the storm passed yesterday, very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 .39" storm total here on my side of Dahlonega. At least I won't have to water the grass for a day or two. LOL That's a great sat loop Phil. Awesome watching the sea breeze collide with the MCC and that illustrates it perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Down the road from me. 20 - 25 homes damaged with 4 injuries. 9550 people without power in Jackson County. Wicked storm to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I ended up with around 1.4" which is the most I've had in over 2 months. Apparently we lost power last night for several hours. I woke up and my thermostat was set on 85 which tipped me off. I'm glad it came back on before work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 What an epic day of storms. I had four distinct rounds of storms. The last one being derecho type bow echo. The lightning last night was extreme in every sense of the word. The power went down after round two. During round three I was lookinjg out my front door when a CG bolt hit mere feet in front of me. I said oh **** and then BAM, so, so close it was petrifying. Then less than five seconds after the bolt we smelt something burning. No fire started but that gives you an idea of how close it was. The intensity of the storms yesterday was epic and I will not soon forget!!!!! Probably approached three inches of rain with all these storms yesterday. POwer came back on after five hours lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wooo Hoooo!

NEGa Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 mby didnt get as much rain as i wanted (about .75 which is the most in a long time) but the storms were amazing. multiple rounds, basically storming all evening through when i went to bed. it was an amazing light show, to say the least. glad that a lot of peeps at least got a little rain.

Heard there were lots of trees down & no power in the Canon Bridge Rd area. The road going into my best friend's neighborhood was blocked by lots of downed trees. The wind was ferocious here!

FoothillsNC Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Glad you guys in Al, Tn Ga and SC got a nice round of storms and much needed rain. I got .36" , barely clipped but not complaining. The first 2 weeks of June have already brought me more than I got last June, July and August combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The boundary left behind from last night's storms is already hard at work creating severe thunderstorms. We've had one roll through Troup and Harris Counties this AM and with more developing to our west it could be an active afternoon here around Columbus and points south. It's interesting to note that our CAPE isn't the greatest around the storms at this time and yet they are still producing nickle to quarter sized hail. With the heating of the day and that boundary pushing south, southeast Alabama and southern Georgia might get even more much needed rain! They certainly need it too as the new drought index shows and exceptional drought for the folks in southwest Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up .41 last night There is nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of rain and the occasional low rumble of thunder I hope Tony woke up to find something measurable in the gauge this morning Well, thank you, ma'am I did in fact see some rain...if I stretch things a bit I can say I got a quarter inch. Of much more import was the wind. I got in the car to move it under shelter, and the night was calm and serene. When I got out of the car a minute later. the wind was howling, limbs were cracking and lightening was flashing. I was standing out there watching..dumbfounded! I thought I'd entered the Twilight Zone, lol. Once again I got lots of lightening and thunder but little rain, though it did drip for hours, if wasn't dripping into the bucket so I could measure it Glad you got some more. Maybe I can emulate your success and build on this little dab going forward! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
