dsaur Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Twc overexaggerates these severe weather events. A week of deadly weather? There was only one death from a tornado. They all do. It is the new dejour. Fearmongering weather. There is no modulation. Every weak squall line with a few embedded hail producing thunderstorms is a deadly outbreak. They are producing a nation of quavering pantywaists, where every child will fear the weather, and cry at the sound of thunder, instead of thrill. It is a terrible precedent , and all in the name of making money. Breaking into the program with breathless reports of quarter sized hail 100 miles away. I've lived with spring weather for over 60 years and I'm sure they are not saving any more people from the quarter sized hail, than they did 50 years ago, when no one knew there was quarter sized hail within a thousand miles, or a possible rotation in that cloud that tore off part of grandmaw's shed roof. Some modulation please!!! Stop making money scaring the crap out of people. A Zenia outbreak does not occur every spring, much as they'd like it to. Not every death is preventable, no matter how you cower the public. There is such a thing as personal responsibility, and when the wind begins to howl, and the sky turns green, the power is likely out, and a siren will do much more good that the tv, for those too ignorant to look outside. We live in the south. Storms happen. Nut up!!! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if little Eric Rudolph had one of these. Save that coupon kids, to claim your radioactive isotope replacements when your original reaches its half life. Those are two examples of why you young guys better not mess with grandpa. He grew up tougher. Oh, and there is also this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 We are in a tornado watch until 10:00. They are acting like it's an emergency or something lol. It's on all the tv channels. So much hype for a watch that is not even really for our area. Our county is weirdly shaped lol that why we are included and we have the biggest county in GA. The watch is mainly for the rural areas.

WilkesboroDude Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 IT WON"T RAIN TOMORROW THEN Looking at the radar it looks like those tornado watch areas are stealing our moisture. Hopefully just a midnight sprinkle and that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Stealing your moisture? It was modeled like this. Models weren't showing more than half an inch up there. Anyway it hasn't been raining for the past 3 hours. Our rain shield here has activated. Don't know how we are missing all this rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 From GSP this evening, regarding metalicwx's question above: AS OF 730 PM EDT SUNDAY...A WELL DEFINED WAKE LOW HAS DEVELOPEDOVER SOUTHWEST GEORGIA. THIS FEATURE APPEARS TO BE DISRUPTINGMOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE REGION...RESULTING IN LESS PCPN THANEXPECTED. THE SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL STILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OVERTHE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN SOME SHOWERDEVELOPMENT OVER THE IN SITU COLD AIR DAMMING THAT HAS STARTED TODEVELOP. STILL...I CUT BACK POPS A LITTLE EARLY ON. AS FOR THAT WAKELOW...IT SHOULD MOVE NORTHEAST...BUT IS EXPECTED TO STAY TO THESOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. IF THE FEATURE IS ACTUALLY MORE OF AHYBRID BETWEEN A WAKE LOW AND GRAVITY WAVE...THEN WE WOULD HAVE ALITTLE MORE TO WORRY ABOUT FROM A WIND STANDPOINT. I DON/T EVEN KNOWIF SUCH A THING EXISTS. I/LL ASSUME NOT AND THAT THE WINDS WILL NOTINCREASE INTO THE ADVISORY CATEGORY OVERNIGHT...BUT IT WILL BESOMETHING TO WATCH. "I don't have a clue what we're looking at here, guys!" Actually, honest admission when someone doesn't know the answer is quite refreshing. I admire the willingness to put that in print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Very interesting indeed. I have never seen anything like that.There are definitely gravity waves on the trailing "front" from the wake low. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 That wake low or gravity wave was ****ing amazing. Strongest winds I have seen in a while. Near the end of the storm, the winds shifted direction and came back the other way. It's like we are in a hurricanes eye with clear skies and clouds surrounding the entire sky. Still windy out.
