metwannabe Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Euro pops a low right off Florida in the 8-9 day range on the tail of a washed out front, that is climo wise a way we see early season storms in the SE.... Andrea giving us some decent gust into the mid to upper 30's, if the center keeps sliding up the way it is some of the harder hit spots rain wise are looking to get another round of heavier returns. It definitely wobbled north earlier but seems to be moving more ne now.... 4.2 inches thus far and now the sun is out (muggy!!)....it's current path looks to bring that solid shield of heavy rain back in here in a few hours if it holds together. Not too mention with the sun out and instability on the rise some of those cells that are starting to pop could become severe briefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 According my dad in Havelock, NC, wind has been strong enough to topple a few trees and knock out power for a time during the intense squall lines. Looks like Raleigh is about to get pounded with some rain shortly. We've had a break for a while. Looks dark again, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Center seems to be moving way more east in the last few frames of the radar be interesting to see what it does when it gets further east, the airmass here is pretty nasty, can hardly breathe outside its so humid, one would think at the very least it will keep the current band of heavy rain going on the western side of the rotation.

jburns Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Winding down rapidly here now. Rain shield moving east. Ended up with a bit over 2" without any significant wind, so it was a good event here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 From WxSouth on Facebook: Strong instability (CAPE) of 3000 now in southeast Virginia, and eastern NC where the tornado watch is in effect. Another area to watch is the strong disturbance churning through Alabama and soon to be in Georgia and the western Carolinas this evening and overnight. Enough breaks in the clouds could occur there and there's enough reason to believe that line could get strong as it approaches the southern Apps.
