WilkesboroDude Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 The severe thunderstorm warnings on the southern end of that derecho are for wind only... with no actual convective cells Convective cells firing up as far south-west as West Liberty, Kentucky now. Could still fall short a county or three from the NC border though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Outflow heading SSE.... radar estimated at 80mph. The severe tstorm warning boxes are for wind only on the south end. Should they not be High Wind Warnings not Tstorm warnings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Outflow heading SSE.... radar estimated at 80mph. The severe tstorm warning boxes are for wind only on the south end. Should they not be High Wind Warnings not Tstorm warnings? High Wind Warning= long fused warning product Severe Thunderstorm Warning= short fused warning product That said...it will be interesting to see if the Morristown office puts out warnings when the gust front reaches their CWA.

Marion_NC_WX Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I know we got several members on here that live close to where this gust front is coming through...be curious as to any reports Looking at the Blacksburg radar, we might have a developing wind threat here over the next hour from near Boone east to Winston-Salem.

jds015 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm in the Triad and getting a little concerned about these storms coming down from VA. If I wasn't on this site I wouldn't even know about it and it appears to be quite damaging, even now, just up the road in southern VA. Is this something all of us in central and eastern NC need to be concerned about? Local media has nothing other than warnings coming out of Blacksburg.

WilkesboroDude Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Watching and waiting. I can assure you 80mph winds will not occur here in north-west North Carolina. Looking at some data...saw Mount Airy speed up to around 20mph....Stuart,Va appeared to went over 40mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Probably topped out around 30mph along the tree lines...still blowing. Recorded some audio but nothing special so not going to upload it...no visual with it being dark. Reidsville to Yanceyville is about to get hammered.

BIG FROSTY Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Strongest wind gust I've seen in a long time. Blowed a tree over on a car at wal-mart in Mount Airy my cousin was there and saw it... I would be willing to bet I had a gust between 60-70mph easy.... No rain just wind!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard thunder but when I checked the radar that was the only storm within distance of Wilkes. Guess it's 30+mph no storm...60-70+ with storm for those of you further south-east.

Busick Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Amazing!! Had gusts in the 40-50mph range, Lights went off between 7-9 times, tree broke off half way up beside my house, limbs also came down. You could see the classic roll up in the clouds when the gust front came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ridge Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 10-20 MPH is the general consensus from the remnant gust front in the Tri-Cities. Otherwise, it's...well, warm. And dry. Speaking of dry, June will likely end with just 2.42" of rain IMBY, the driest month this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
