Shawn Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 About the picture that was obviously ripped off, they were actually "interviewing" the person who supposedly took it on the phone and he was some nerd saying how he was "about to go shoot a music video" or something. Haha. WIS is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWGNKITTEN Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 We've had the strong gusty winds all day, cloudy for a good portion of the day...had raindrops and a quick downpour at 11:45 this morning that lasted all of 45 seconds. Temp started out at 72, now down in the low 60's and the wind still going on with bright blue sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Still no precip even though radar shows me under it. Very dark though north and west. Peepers singing up a storm down by the creek. A little worried about the line just into southern Alamance on WeatherNC's map posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0160 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0345 PM CST FRI FEB 24 2012 AREAS AFFECTED...ERN SC...CNTRL/ERN NC...SERN VA...SERN MD CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 38... VALID 242145Z - 242315Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 38 CONTINUES. LATEST SFC MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING ALONG THE SRN DE BORDER AND ACROSS SERN MD AND NRN VA...WITH A SUBSYNOPTIC-SCALE LOW CENTERED ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT NEAR THE VA/MD BORDER. THE STATIONARY FRONT INTERSECTS A COLD FRONT AT A TRIPLE POINT NEAR THE WV/VA BORDER...WHILE THE COLD FRONT TRAILS SSWWD INTO THE WRN CAROLINAS. CONVERGENCE ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND A PREFRONTAL TROUGH EXTENDING SW OF THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW HAS SUPPORTED A BROKEN CONVECTIVE LINE FROM S-CNTRL VA TO CNTRL NC WITH MORE ISOLATED STORMS FARTHER NE TOWARD THE LOW. THIS LINE IS FORECAST TO TRANSLATE EWD ACROSS THE MARGINALLY UNSTABLE SECTOR /AIDED BY EARLIER DIABATIC HEATING ASSOCIATED WITH INSOLATION/...WITH THE STORMS LIKELY REACHING THE COAST AFTER 23Z. AND...WITH 100 KT OF FLOW AROUND 5 KM AGL PER RALEIGH VWP...VERY STRONG DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE STRUCTURES TOWARD THE COAST DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES OF 300-400 M2/S2 WILL SUPPORT EMBEDDED MESOVORTICES WITH LEWP STRUCTURES /AS INDICATED BY RALEIGH WSR-88D DATA/ ALONG WITH ATTENDANT THREATS FOR SWATHS OF WIND DAMAGE AND PERHAPS A FEW TORNADOES. FARTHER SOUTH...INSTABILITY WILL BE SOMEWHAT LOWER OWING TO PERSISTENT CLOUDS AND STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION ACROSS PORTIONS OF ERN/SERN NC AND NERN SC WITHIN 40 MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM NEAR FLORENCE SC TO 35 MILES N OF CAPE HATTERAS. IN THIS REGION...THE SVR THREAT MAY BE MITIGATED BY THE ABSENCE OF STEEPER LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES DESPITE THE APPROACHING FRONTAL CONVERGENCE. HOWEVER...FARTHER SOUTH INTO ERN SC...POCKETS OF MARGINALLY GREATER INSTABILITY MAY BOLSTER THE SVR THREAT WITH STORMS CURRENTLY APPROACHING FROM THE WSW. ..COHEN.. 02/24/2012 ATTN...WFO...AKQ...MHX...LWX...RAH...ILM...RNK...CAE...

Solak Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 WeatherNC - a while back you noted that our DP here in Smithfield was down to 55°, but it seems to have been reading low all day compared to surrounding areas. It only maxed out at 57, while points E & W were in the low-mid 60's most of the day. Maybe we've be in a dry channel all day, but it's sure felt plenty muggy, despite the wind.

Likely an error Solak, not sure but my best guess. If you look around at obs not just during this event but as of late, you will find discontinuity between near-by stations and suspect readings givens the obs around, <30-50 miles. Maybe the AWOS are in need of calibration.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
