Gastonwxman Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The next band to the south of the Charlotte region is really looking nasty as it continues turning toward the north. Lots of severe weather associated with that and will need to be monitored closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Kinda shocking really........I mean these are tornado warnings in the Charlotte metro area....... Yeah...I don't understand it either. I like Eric and the folks at channel 3 but they have never done a live stream. Brad does his through U-stream and not on the WCNC website. That's the one thing that Fisch and WRAL has over any TV station in the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down here in the east all the local mets are on whenever we get a tornado warning. Guess the NWS isnt to impressed they let all tornado warnings drop....

downeastnc Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Wouldnt this be enough along with the couplet for the NWS to issue a tornado warning? I cant seem to see where they have one out for this area.... Surprised this isnt issued for a tornado warning with this look and reports of funnels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrips27 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm not trying to take away from the current situation in NC, but I was wondering if somebody could help me out. Do you guys think they will get the NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway in at 11 AM tomorrow? Thinking about going down there. By the way...

marino13882 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Brad isnt in right now at the studio, its that girl that normally does the broadcast during the weekends. I believe Brad and his wife just had their second baby last week so thats why he isnt in and they arent doing a live stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperNET Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Chased that cell....I believe it was on the ground near the intersection of Secret Shortcut and West of Ronanoke Church road. Never did see it on the ground after it crossed Lawyers Road....but it may have been on ground for just a minute or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneTracker Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 After a break...the gates have opened up on the escarpment. And notice the lack of precip in eastern GA and western SC. My best bet, after looking at radar and the latest RUC, is that the heavy rains may fall this evening and then we begin to taper off significantly. Tomorrow could be quite a bit drier than currently forecast as well. I've got 0.52" storm total. My guess is that I won't top 1". It might even be worth canceling or at least trimming the FFW early.

LOL killer, couplet looks weaker on radar now so I suspect it is either recycling or done period. On the second or third to last frame I thought I saw some higher reflectivity mixing in kinda like debris but its hard to say for sure. It was fairly close to the radar so the scan was prolly getting pretty low as well but I just have the TDWR Nexrad stuff so its prolly nothing.
