WilkesboroDude Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Storms are erupting in north-west North Carolina. The Sun is periodically breaking through the clouds here in Wilkes with a strong storm moving to my north-east now. More to the south-west firing up. Things are about to get interesting...

metalicwx366 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Looks like its done here. Saw a little bit of rain and a rumble of thunder. The Severe Thunderstorm Watch goes until 7pm. They are most likely going to trim the watch further to the east. I really don't see anything else on radar and it the skies are about to be clear here. Half of the sky is blue. Bigger threat looks to be in North and South Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 CAE said they got some sprinkles today that added up to .05 A total 100% screwjob here. I didn't even get 0.05, simply a trace. I had about 2 minutes of the lightest sprinkles you could have. This after the nam and gfs showed an inch or more here for several runs and ffc had 100, 90, and 80% percent pops per period, respectfully. One of the worst busts I've ever seen to be honest.

Solak Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 DISCUSSION...SUPERCELL TORNADO POTENTIAL MAY INCREASE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SRN VA AND THE NC PIEDMONT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS LARGE UPPER STORM SYSTEM SPREADS EAST AND COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION. MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WAS ALREADY SUPPORTING SEVERE STORMS AND LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE WATCH AREA HAS BACKED TO MORE ELY COMPONENT APPARENTLY IN RESPONSE TO 1) SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS OVER WRN NC/VA...AND 2) WARM FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY BCMG BETTER DEFINED FROM NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER SEWD TO THE NC COASTAL PLAIN. STORMS MOVING NEAR THIS BOUNDARY WHERE LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL BE ENHANCED WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ACQUIRE STRONG LOW LEVEL ROTATION. STORMS TRACKING NEAR OR ALONG THE BOUNDARY FOR ANY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME WILL ALSO POSE A THREAT FOR A FEW TORNADOES. VERY LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH SUPERCELLS...ALONG WITH SCATTERED DAMAGING WINDS. AVIATION...TORNADOES AND A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT TO 2.5 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60 KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 450. MEAN STORM MOTION VECTOR 24030. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It looks so odd outside right now. A strong thunderstorm just popped up. Half of the sky is clear with no clouds and the other is an ominous red/black. The thunder is just booming outside too. Yeah now they wanna start when the watch gets cancelled.

dsaur Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Like clockwork Goofy has 30's showing up for the Masters. I'm inclined to belive this mistyland prediction, as history says it happens at least one day during the tourney. We'll see.... I'm hoping..it'd be nice to see 30's again.

buckeyefan1 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I've got a solid .1 for the last few days! After a rollicking first of the month, the pickings have been exceedingly, near invisibly, thin the last few weeks. Oh, well, you haven't gotten to rollick yet, so I have to count my blessings Tony After the past few days of just getting sideswiped, this evening featured heavy rain, strong winds, constant lightning/thunder, pea sized hail, and the inability to watch my basketball game due to the satallite going out Not sure how much I ended up with, but my part of my shed is up against some trees next to my house I'll post pictures tomorrow A total 100% screwjob here. I didn't even get 0.05, simply a trace. I had about 2 minutes of the lightest sprinkles you could have. This after the nam and gfs showed an inch or more here for several runs and ffc had 100, 90, and 80% percent pops per period, respectfully. One of the worst busts I've ever seen to be honest. I know that feeling all too well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_hailstorm Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Incredible sight here,I have 1''-2'' of hail on the ground,Mostly pea to dime size. Never seen anything like this just a pure hailstorm in progress.Temps plummeting down in the low 40's. 1.48'' in the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Last night was easily a top 10 weather moment. Hail is still out in the yard,piled up deeper close to the house where the wind blowed it in.Some bushes and trees looked stripped a little with blooms/leaves gone but not too bad. You would'nt believe how cold the temps dropped in the height of it,it was down in the low 40's.Still cold out there with a heavy fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Folks...not often do you get a closed low park itself over the region...its now moving into South Carolina which puts Western North Carolina on the Northwest quad...a deformation band has setup just east of the escarpment... BTW, winds here are very gusty this morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 .70" yesterday, 1.29" for the weekend so far, and a new modem. A close by lightning strike got it last evening. At least the computers themselves were unplugged. Thanks goodness Time Warner makes Sunday service calls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 No...temps not even close. 850's are around +6. I have been checking the surface temps every now and then...seen it at 34 degrees at 8am. I wonder if any colder spots nearby had any icing on elevated surfaces then?
