Shawn Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I got some sprinkles with a little breeze as expected The rain looked like a mini tornado up here by the lake prob a 40mph gust brought down at the most, or are you just saying it wasnt much of an event there as in not even that much?

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That line is looking mighty ragged to my west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well, the mountaintops are about to turn over to snow. Grandfather is almost at freezing now. Nice to finish off 4+ inches of rain with a couple of inches of snow on top of the frozen water. I can't imagine how horrible roads will be in the high country tomorrow morning.

calculus1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 1.71 inches of rainfall for the day (and, it's still raining cats and dogs, per my Vantage Vue) as I head off to bed. Catch ya'll later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I'd be able to go to bed at 10:30PM with snow on the horizon. /endhalfwaybantertalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Squall line passage right now at my locale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 FAIL in Carrboro. The winds were stronger well before the line. Nothing impressive at all. Definitely a letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 FAIL in Carrboro. The winds were stronger well before the line. Nothing impressive at all. Definitely a letdown. Same here. Winds are picking up again now here. The actual passage of the front is turning out to be the least windy part of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwagner88 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 2.17 inches of rain for this event. The monthly total is somewhere near 11 inches. Total since December 25 is well over a foot. The strong south winds never really materialized here. Our strongest winds so far have actually come out of the west in the past hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strong south winds never really materialized here. Our strongest winds so far have actually come out of the west in the past hour. Pretty much accurate. I think the sustained winds after the front totally passes will be more impressive. Hurricane Sandy'ish per say while it was way up North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Main line about to hit move through area....pretty decent winds. BTW, there was a fire in Lillington/Buies Creek that should be on most Raleigh news channels tomorrow AM...it was a pretty huge brush fire caused by someone...get this...playing with fireworks in 20+mph winds. It got within 100 feet or so of homes, my friends house was pretty close. I got a video I'll post probably later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The secondary arctic front blew through a bit earlier. It's winds were stronger than when the T-Storms came through this morning. The temp went from 48 to 36 in about an hour and the rain switched to light snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQPublic Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 After the rains, the winds became much stronger. My lawn chair on my balcony just blew over. It hasn't do that at all the entire day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wow! Definitely saw some 50+ gusts...recorded a video with the iPhone, some of the wind scared the crap out of me while I was on my patio! lol...also my patio chairs are MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely saw some 50+ gusts...recorded a video with the iPhone, some of the wind scared the crap out of me while I was on my patio! lol...also my patio chairs are MIA. Going to wait and see what we get, for the last couple of hrs every update of obs at PGV has had a gust over 40 and most to 45-46, I am at work and plan to take my "lunch" right before the line gets here and head out to the parking lot which is nice and open. The last Meso Disco from SPC stated the LLJ was 75-90KNTS so if any of that can get mixed down it would be intense but so far the line doesnt seem to have been able to really tap into the LL wind field and mix it down very well.

downeastnc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just had a light pole blow down in the parking lot at work, luckily it missed the vehicles parked near it ( mine included lol) , I will try to get a picture in the morning when the sun is up but the wind has to be pushing 50-55 here in gust.

AJF0602 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm in Greenville to at North Campus and the wind is definitely howling, looks like that squall line is trying to get its act together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont hold your breath for it guys, its windier behind the main front than the squall line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Dont hold your breath for it guys, its windier behind the main front than the squall line. Dunno we have been gusting 40-50 mph for several hrs now, but so far I agree reports with the actual squall line are pretty blah wind wise. I havent seen wind like this since April 16th 2011 where the winds infront of the line were gusting mid 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen wind like this since April 16th 2011 where the winds infront of the line were gusting mid 50's. Definitely hit me up in PM etc if they get stronger afterwards (if you have power) pretty much all reports today were marginal at best as the line passed. Most I saw from others and myself were that the squall was basically a heavy heavy rain brining down a little wind with it. I went outside about 10 mins ago, and was cold as ice (expected after 70s to 40s) and heard wind almost breaking trees.\ Edit: you may have gotten into a mini bow type echo in the squal line.

Squall hasnt really gotten here yet prolly in the next 30 mins or so, going on lunch to sit out in the parking lot just to see, I would be impressed if we end up with 40-50 mph gust on the backside as well.....all our wind so far has just been pre frontal SW winds, I have a buddy in Wilson to the west that said the squall line was decent but nothing earth shattering so my expectations are low. http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KPGV.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to have 50 mph winds/gusts for the duration of the front/cold air moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHurricane Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just got here in Williamston. Strongest winds yet. Guessing 50-55. Will have to check the Highway Patrol station weather gauge to see what it received. It looks like the worst may have passed just north - which would have hit there. Now just got a very strong gust.

AJF0602 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Not even sure but it def put the 50+ mph gust we've been having to shame, it was like sustained for a good 4-5 minutes, made the apt building shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
