MotoWeatherman Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hope all goes well Moto. Batten down the hatches! Southeast of Dahlonega I'm getting many reports of trees and power lines down and the reports form a path that track with the center of that circulation. I will check it out in the morning.

That same cell was headed my way...looked like a hook formation so it surprised me and I looked at base velocity and saw no rotation throughout the storms life...oh well!

Jon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Per the 4z RAP, the LI is progged around -5 for Central NC (4am)...not bad for an overnight storm, at all. Sounding looks good valid at 7am, hodograph...look at that low level shear!!! 15kts at the surface, 50+ kts at 600m that thing is rolling. I'll be sure to look up on the way to my exam tomorrow morning if I'm not getting dumped on...exam is at 7:30am! Sounding for Central NC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Another waste of SC time. I'm done with severe/snow in this state. 100% moving now. I think Northern Arkansas seems best. Pretty sick and tired of my location always being gone around or a storm splitting in half, then reforming to the east. I think they put some experimental crap in Lake Murray when they lowered it to test weather control. We used to get pretty good storms until they "built the new backup dam". I asked NOAA and no response. I asked various others and meteorologists and still, nothing. Pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 2.10 in Lincolnton 1.50 in Gastonia 0.38 in Charlotte Huge difference in a few miles . CLT and Gastonia got in on a little prefrontal complex tha barely swiped CLT I guess. It developed in the upstate and moved NNE. That padded the Lincolnton and Gastonia totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Very interesting indeed. Continue... I mean, does anyone know what would be causing most storms throughout the whole year (not just severe) to basically split and go around the lake just to reform towards Forest Acres/Sumter? Last night a cell or two was like 10 miles away, died out a bit.. reformed right after it passed. Then another cell from the South came through southern Lexington and died the closer to the lake it got again. I have a few weather buff friends that notice the same thing. The only thing that has changed with the lake since they lowered it to build the new backup dam... is less vegetation. Before they lowered it, storms used to amplify over it.
