WeatherNC Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wind has really picked up here in the last 30 minutes or so, several gusts that have rattled the windows/doors, maybe close to 40. Big pines outback have a low pitched roar so that is usually my sign of sustained 25+, which is likely considering they are 80'+ up. Went to Walmart around 11, sunny, muggy, came out of the store at 1 and ovc with -RN. SPC mentio Ed they were unsure of the effect from high clouds over the central and eastern Carolina's, the current line seems content on training to the ene over here, while the actual front should not be in for a couple more hours. Would not be surprised, in fact expecting power outages from the wind here. Easily gusting to 35-40 ATM, with RN. Just saw a 4 engine jetliner pass overhead under the deck, crazy to watch, almost never see that here with traffic into RDU, which I guess it was headed to.

lj0109 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm at lunch (at work) here in Orangeburg, my son is freaking at home with his G'ma. Could someone please post a GR vel shot of the area as I'm getting reports that one has been spotted between Gaston and Swansea. TIA! Sorry Buckeye, was on the phone with my folks at home getting them to a safe place as a possible tornado just moved through Saint Matthews.

audioguy3107 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hard to really tell on my phone, but the cell NE of Orangeburg looks to be taking on a more classic supercell structure. Be safe if you're in central SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched a 60 ft hardwood go over in the treeline across the road, its getting the wind off a large field and I bet gust are peaking 40-50 and they are not quick hitters but long steady build ups. SPC does seem to think we are not going to be "saved" by the rain but these heavier showers seem to do well at getting the wind to the surface I imagine any bonafide squall line that gets going and heads this way is gonna be accompianed by widespread wind damage reports.

Thrasher Fan Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Anyone else noticing the NOAA weather website is doing a very poor job of adding and dropping warnings on their maps? Monroeville, AL has had that Tornado Warning box for several hours now. SC has nothing marked in their area when we know they have active warnings going. Edit: Just as i posted their maps updated.

WeatherNC Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Did the aircraft look commercial or military? If commercial, it was either a 747 or A340. If military, C-17 or C-5. Almost positive it was a 747 going to RDU, around 5k'. Normally they are a cruising level when they pass over. Also saw a couple f-15's from Seymour Johnson earlier at about the same level. Nothing that big goes into PGV so I can only assume it was RDU. Just watched a 60 ft hardwood go over in the treeline across the road, its getting the wind off a large field and I bet gust are peaking 40-50 and they are not quick hitters but long steady build ups. SPC does seem to think we are not going to be "saved" by the rain but these heavier showers seem to do well at getting the wind to the surface I imagine any bonafide squall line that gets going and heads this way is gonna be accompianed by widespread wind damage reports. Last hour has reminded me of a weak tropical storm, sustained around 25 gusting to 40, just constant with no lull. Pines are holding up, nothing across the scanner for GUC yet, so all is well. Just looping RAH over the last 90 minutes, I do not see us getting out of this line for awhile, backbuilding some sw of FAY and seems content atm on training from there through here. Any chance we have for svr is likely to come from the stuff between CLT-HKY-GSP, and that may not be for awhile, like 5-6pm later. We'll see, convection firing sw of CLT looks great compared to this pre-frontal crap we have overhead and inbound for the next hour or two. I hope this cloud cover will keep things less explosive here. keep us posted Edit for obs: 64/61 sw 26 G37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormsfury Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 SF! Be safe down there Will do, kind of already prepped for the potentials. temperatures yesterday were 83 here, and already about 82-83'ish again, filtered high cloud sun, windy. The atmosphere just has that right feel. The vertical development of low cumulus extremely tilted. I've been eyeballing this setup since Monday when SPC had the region in a Day 4 Outlook of 30% (slight) that far in advance, kind of unheard of around here.

It's possible they might have been on the way to investigate the broadcast media's reports in Augusta, which might be part of the reason such a quick response in that area.
