FoothillsNC Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Still loaded to the north. I got .1 when the tall end dragged through. The next line looks like it has a shield south of Atl. but who knows what it will look like when it gets here My whole county is drying up. A friend on the far eastern border of Spalding Co. has just .3 for June and I'm on the west side and I have 30 drops over .3 now. I think I'm the new Foothills/Lookout this year, lol. Tony It sounds like it, our friends in eastern sections aren't doing good either. Huge turnaround here , so I'm not complaining at all. Summer after Summer missed me for 2003 and 2005 really , and the last 3 were unbelievable, with nary a drop in June or July at my house with serious heat waves and downslope. I remember it all too well, and will never forget. With a sw flow though, we all have a shot to do better, but like when in a drought, its hard to really bust out of it, but it can happen . Really we need an influx of real tropical air, the drenching airmass that delivers widespread southerly flow and dewpoints in mid 70s. Remember those?

eyewall Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Robert I hope you get a good one up there out of this MCS (assuming you want that). Looks to remain west of I-77 until it gets north of CLT. Don't know if it will hold for this long but it should end up in the Triad tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpstateSCBud Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This line heading up I85 looks to be a on collision course with my place. I'll take the lightning and rain...but Im afraid this is gonna be a high wind event too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burrel2 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I just got slammed by the line moving through the upstate. The wind was pretty impressive but nothing crazy; maybe 45 to 50mph. The clouds looked awesome as line the approached. Very little thunder with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossthread Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I guess all my hard work drumming and dancing to the rain gods finally paid off last night Constant lightning, house shaking thunder, from not just one............but THREE separate cells that moved directly over my house, giving me a grand total of .83 in the bucket Maybe they just got tired of hearing me whine......

FoothillsNC Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 we could use some rain as well here too Unusual for you to be wanting rain? In the winter you had enough! I firmly believe you'll never go into too dry a period for too long, unless its ultra-extreme like 2007 or 1988...theres just too many factors that eventually lead to rain and convergence there. A few months of dry maybe, but I'm sure your area will be ok soon. Looks like the line near GSP is weakening some now. I have cirrus but not much cumulus. Not a developing cumulmus field like yesterday so I have my doubts it will be too severe here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Unbelievable. I just had 65 mph gusts! and wasn't expecting that . The cell over the souther part of the county is extremely strong and it was another wave of wind coming that you could hear in the distance. Lights are flickering now, and the wind won't die....extremely heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the lack of red on the base or composite reflectivity fool you as this moves northeast... That's certainly true enough. Havent been much red at all with the line but the outflow boundary had lots of wind in it. Suprised my power is still on. Not a drop of rain so far today, but did get .50 last evening.

FoothillsNC Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I hope it's just tree damage and not your house I'm sad for your tree not my house, I was just getting back in when the winds began. I grabbed teh cam and looked toward the neighbors first, since he's south. I heard the cracking of his tree, and over it went. I then looked at my woods and good grief I know some came down there again. The winds switched direction after a few minutes when the heavy rain began.

Scary too since we have at least a dozen trees within easy range of hitting our house if they were to fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 yeah no doubt the speed of it is what helped push that strong outflow with high winds. A normal pop up doesnt' do this much. We've had a TON of extremely fast moving waves of convection this year, not much rain though. Its partly cloudy now. Still pretty scary to go from calm to 60mph in just a few seconds.
