Cold Rain 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. I've never understood why someone would not enjoy the sound of rain falling, seeing the drops falling through the air, making puddles bigger and bigger, watching the little streams of water that rush down the streets,....and oh yeah, the life that rain nourishes. You could always move to Seti Alpha 5. It's always sunny and warm there...it's a little windy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Tor warning for Limestone Co. AL with tog just south of Athens moving northward reported by emergency management. This one ended up being an EF-0, and the same cell dropped another EF-0 a few minutes later. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/hun/?n=hunsur_2013-05-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 The cell firing just west of Columbia looks like it might be trying to rotate weakly, it should get choked off by the storm to the south but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Took these yesterday of the lesser half of the shelf set up south of Wake County. If I was a little more south and had my $600 camera instead of my iphone I would have done a little better. Edited them in lightbox because the iphone camera has little to no contrast, could barely see the cloud just the scud in the first pic. Click for full resolution!

NCsandhills Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just got put under a tornado watch. As did Fayettenam...CAPE at 3,000 j/kg 73 dew point, shear not too impressive though. So with the high instability and all that moisture, but low shear (25 kts), how is the realistic outlook for a tornado or 2 in crl NC? What other ingredients are there that one could look at?
