calculus1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That parking lot floods all the time, though not usually that bad. Yeah, I remember it flooding several times when I was up at ASU for grad school. I love that town and the location in general, but there are a lot of creeks that run through the town. Flooding can be a problem quite often up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteoutWX Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So did anyone actually see severe wind with the line in the carolinas? Reports were pretty scarce on the SPC page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The setup for severe wind must not have been as impressive as progged, because that line in SC and NErn GA looks pretty stout, and I don't see many reports on the SPC page. Maybe they haven't come in yet, or maybe it's just not going to be a widespread wind event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye, see those kinks around Saluda Edgefield? I think those are coming our way here soon. May be a bit more wind than other areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just need the campus down here to delay now...Wilkes campus is prone to flooding too...with enhanced moisture flow off the Brushy Mountains. Wilkes Community College Ashe Campus will open at 10 A.M. on Thursday, January 31. Check for updates should conditions worsen.

Brick Tamland Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, I remember it flooding several times when I was up at ASU for grad school. I love that town and the location in general, but there are a lot of creeks that run through the town. Flooding can be a problem quite often up there. It sure is along River St and going towards Blowing Rock from Boone. Mike Maze from WRAL shared a tweet that said there were four water rescuses in Boone in one hour.

I'm not betting on a bow echo for mby, I'll be lucky to get some rain , but a friend in Saluda(at the fire dept) said those winds with that echo meant business.

VALID 310056Z - 310230Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 21...23...CONTINUES. SUMMARY...TORNADO WATCHES 21/23 CONTINUE...WITH A PERSISTENT RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES FROM PARTS OF NORTH FL/EAST-SOUTHEAST GA INTO SC/NC. AN ADDITIONAL WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED BY AROUND MID-EVENING FOR PORTIONS OF THE NC PIEDMONT INTO SOUTHEAST VA.

AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE...NEAR 60/LOWER 60S F SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE COMMON AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN MILD /NEAR 70 F AT 00Z/ IN THE WARM SECTOR...COINCIDENT WITH 2-3 MB/2-HR PRESSURE FALLS. AS HEIGHT FALLS STEADILY OCCUR ESPECIALLY OVER THE CAROLINAS/VA IN CONCERT WITH THE ADVANCING UPPER TROUGH...A VERY STRONG DEEP LAYER WIND FIELD WILL BE FURTHER ACCENTUATED BY STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL WINDS /LOWEST 1-3 KM/ TO/ABOVE 70 KT ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CAROLINAS/VA...A TREND ALREADY NOTED PER REGIONAL WSR-88D VWPS AND 00Z OBSERVED SOUNDINGS.

Busick Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The most impressive winds I have seen in my area in awhile. Several limbs down and our trampoline went airborne over 60 feet and is now destroyed. Wondering what people are seeing with that line going threw Winston-Salem and area around it? I would have to estimate gusts around 50mph several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
