downeastnc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 What mph would you guestimate? 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. At PGV last obs recorded a gust to 54 sustained at 40 and I was about 1.5 miles from the airport at a Sheetz ( I will post short video in morning) and it was easy 50-60 there. 31 01:35 S 40 G 54 10.00 Overcast and Windy SCT027 BKN041 OVC048 70 64 83% NA NA 29.45 NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wind out here close to CAE is no joke with the actual front passage. I'm hearing at least 40mph+ gusts in my home. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic 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. During the large tornado outbreak a few years past the same thing happened here in Orange county. The actual front with the thunderstorms was calm compared to the winds before and after the storm.

Isopycnic Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 0.38" rain from this system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ended up with 1.50" of rain from the storm & .5" of snow for the cherry on top! For the month I am up to 6.28" usually I would probably get around 2". Very windy here this am....much more so than when the actual line itself came thru yesterday afternoon.

Cold Rain Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We gusted to 50, at least, last night just ahead and during the squall line. Lots of small/medium sized limbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Here is a video of the squall line as it passed through Pitt Co at 1:30 in the morning, the airport which was just 1.5 miles up the road recorded sustained 40 with gust to 55.

audioguy3107 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 FFC has another great storm summary of yesterday's event. They just updated as well with the survey of the Adairsville tornado. They noted some areas that had high end EF-3 damage. Amazing tornado path. Kudos for their event writeups, they've been excellent lately, hope they keep it up! http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ffc/?n=tornadoevent_013013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isohume Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'd like to see that! :-) I tried to find the video, but it's not on their page. They didn't interview anyone and they probably just used it as a backdrop to a story. We were kinda shocked to see them show up...shocked that management allowed them in on such a busy event.
