downeastnc Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Lame blanket warnings all over NC, in some places well out in front of what can at best be described as an average squall line, and I am being generous. Counties to my north are warned 50 miles out in front of the line thats the kinda stuff that causes complacency in warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Couple trees down and a power pole for the entire CLT area with this FROPA but it was hyped up well again.Hope everyone is OK east of here where the real action was. Barely any rain here only .28'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Counting your chickens before the eggs hatch. We don't know how the situation will evolve this far out but I won't rule out eastern NC or SC seeing a Moderate risk. You first say how do I get severe wx out of this but in the very next post say slight risk? Most severe wx around here comes with Slight Risk.Interestingly today was more active than both of the moderate risk days. You were off with location as NC and SC weren't the only areas.

It feels like just about every thunderstorm with gusty winds gets warned these days. I know it's probably not the case, as all it takes is a localized pocket of severe winds for a warning to verify, I guess. But I have been under numerous warnings over the past 2-3 years and have yet to see any damage around my area at all, save for a few Bradford Pear branches down.

Well we live in an area that sees a substantial number of severe thunderstorms throughout the year. I would imagine most things easily damaged by a 60mph wind gust are long gone.

Cold Rain Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Well we live in an area that sees a substantial number of severe thunderstorms throughout the year. I would imagine most things easily damaged by a 60mph wind gust are long gone. Out of the square miles warned yesterday, I wonder how many square miles actually saw gusts over 58 mph? There may have been a lot. I haven't looked at the wind reports yet. The apex of the bow in the line went right over my house and I was expecting some decent wind with that. We got maybe a 35 mph gust. I wonder how windy it was in other locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 A little disappointed in the severe event Friday. Got some good straight line winds with the squal line but there just was not enough energy ahead of the line to produce. The energy that did get ahead of the line and didn't shear out made it to the boarder of VA/NC and that was the tornado. Really wish more storms got ahead of this line, with the hodographs from yesterday valid around 5pm it could have been something. CAPE stayed around 1000+ for the majority of the event for central NC. I drove up to the area of the line with the strongest wind and man it was strong. A station near me read 70+ mph as the line moved through, I estimated at least 50+, these winds were not messing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Lol cool video but those didn't look like hurricane force winds. If those were hurricane force winds I think there would be more than just one tree down. Those winds look about the same to what we saw here with that wake low thing a week ago. The video was amazing at the beginning then got lame because they act like they have never seen wind before and sound dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That tornado-warned cell entering Chatam appears to be on a b-line for me here in west Downtown Durham. Also, here's the scene from a couple of hours ago outside my school(Cedar Ridge) just south of Hillsborough: my stepson goes to cedar ridge. He's a junior and on the varsity lacrosse team.

Brick Tamland Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Had 10 minutes of rain and wind with the last severe event. Saw some severe weather is going down today in New Orleans. Would love to keep having the weather like today, but instead it looks like we're going to turn cooler and rainy for a while starting this weekend. Boring.

calculus1 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Nice line of storms came through around 6:45 PM here. I was in the midst of a severe-warned cell. Heavy downpours produced over half an inch of rain in about 20 minutes. I've now reached 0.70 inch with the steady, but calm, rains that followed the original cell. Nice!

Well at least someone got some action, I am still waiting to hear some real thunder and this "line" is going to be 3-5 hrs later than progged so I doubt it happens tonight as well.

Brick Tamland Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 There has been a real lack of sever weather around here this spring. The tornadoes in Texas were a rare exception. I don't remember a spring with so few thunderstorms around my neck of the woods. I'll take the dry weather, but if we are going to get rain I'd rather have some storms with it to make it at least a little bit exciting to follow.

metalicwx366 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Huh? He is saying that there hasn't been that much severe weather across the nation so far this spring. I don't know what he means by rare. Probably that without the tornadoes that just happened in Texas, its been a very quiet year. Sure there has been a lack of severe weather, but not a lack of rain even though this past week featured no rain. The cutoff at the beginning of the month gave us our months worth of rain.

I'll take the rain as long as we can get it. Although it looks like once again, the lion's share of it will fall north and west of our area.

Brick Tamland Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Yes, I was talking about the lack of severe storms around here. There has been plenty of rain. This week has been the exception. And I never understood why someone would want rain and to not be able to go out and enjoy the sun and warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
