weatherpsycho Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Pretty Standard Downpour with gusty winds. NO lightning yet EDIT: Just seen lightning Yeah I have now seen a few flashes too. Heard some thunder. Nothing close or crashing but better than a total miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The SPC seems to think otherwise. And the radar is showing otherwise as these things are just wimpering out. The SPC is simply saying there's a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpsycho Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Line sorta broke apart and fizzled around AA here, just straight up rain now, not heavy. Wow that is rare to see AA miss. You are normally the t-storm magnet of Detroit area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Wow that is rare to see AA miss. You are normally the t-storm magnet of Detroit area! Hoping I'll get to witness that before I go home in late april Current pattern says chances are I will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathergy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 And the radar is showing otherwise as these things are just wimpering out. The SPC is simply saying there's a chance Bingo. Nothing is over until the cold front passes. Edit: I'll admit that the tornado threat has likely diminished. I wouldn't rule out the threat 100% but winds are still in play.

Powerball Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Oh I thought you meant penny size hail was the best you've ever seen. Yeah springs haven't been too kind to us lately but maybe this year will be different. Yeah, but my point was that's all it took for me to get just that (the storm took place in an atmosphere with temps in the low 80s and dewpoints in the low 60s during peak heating after full morning sunshine in late March). The variables with this event hardly compare to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Saw and heard lightning and thunder for the first time since last year. I'm satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Saw and heard lightning and thunder for the first time since last year. I'm satisfied. I have seen like 4 storms already this year, but that's part of the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You going to the bar? No my friend, Im saving my liver for Saturday. Pitchers of Guiness FTW. Long nite = Looking at the radar we will have convection around well through midnight it appears. Splitting weak low tops and small hailers. Maybe a spin up to get the sirens blasting. Shear is still kicking a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpsycho Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Saw and heard lightning and thunder for the first time since last year. I'm satisfied. I feel the same way. I was never sold on anything major here. Just to see lightning and here thunder has been very nice. Any t-storm activity in March is pure bonus material IMBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoof Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just got back from an hour drive, the damage reports for the Coleman area are vastly understated... Sorry no pics cause the road was so full of people gawking. I followed an 8 mile long track of damage that went from a roof blown off and barn blown down next door to my ex business partner's house to a mile and a half from my house at a gas station with the awning blown partly off. Hundreds upon hundreds of trees down along the storm path, power lines twisted all around. One house had insulation wrapped in a treetop laying in their yard. Several flipped campers and boats and trees thru campers. Debris in the farmers fields and sheet metal wrapped around trees. Some 60ft or so pine trees were blown down that I used to climb at my friends parents house years ago. Edit: DTX now says it was an EF1 confirmed tornado (duh).
