Isopycnic Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A storm survey team will be visiting portions of Franklin County today and adjacent areas to survey possible tornado damage from yesterday's storm. There were several reports of damage and multiple trained spotters who observed a funnel cloud/tornado. In addition, NWS meteorologists have identified what appears to be a Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) on the newly upgraded dual-polarization radar system. The TDS is indicative of non-meteorological items (leaves, grass, shingles, etc.) being detected by the radar that are associated with a tornado. The image below shows the TDS on the NWS radar at 631 PM EDT or 2231 UTC. By definition, a TDS exists when there is an area of high reflectivity coinciding with a tight rotational signature, a localized area of lower correlation coefficient (typically below 0., and usually differential reflectivity near 0.

Isopycnic Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 US National Weather Service Raleigh NC Here are some recent observations from the survey team... Leaving the intersection of Quail Drive and Sid Eaves Road. Lots of tree damage. Eyewitness here saw funnel but said it only descended to tree tops - consistent w/damage here. Examining damage at Hwy 401 and Thompson Lane. While we are still trying to find a possible "touchdown" location, we estimate that wind speeds w/damage so far was as high as 75 mph.

Just saw that..... pretty cool to get instant updates from the NWS survey team like that! Looking right now like an EF0 but wonder once the structural damage to any residence is surveyed will push it to weak EF1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Received 0.24 yesterday. There were 3 rounds of storms, but the first one is the only one that gave us some rain. The rural areas to the S picked up 1-2 inches of rain. We had some rain about an hour ago. Currently just drizzle now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 This year's March-April-May period bucked the recent trend of warm springs. The previous three springs all ranked among the top 20 warmest on record, including the spring of 2012 that was the warmest on record for North Carolina and much of the country. As the table below shows, most locations were 6 to 8 degrees cooler this spring compared to the spring of 2012. http://nc-climate.ncsu.edu/climateblog?id=25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 86 with heavy rain. Looks like we maxed out today at 86 which was the forecast high. Loving this cool and wet start to summer so far. Edit: Sunny and 88 two hours later. Probably going to reach 90 soon. Highs has been 2-4 degrees above forecast highs for most of the month.

cbmclean Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 A nice steady light rain, excellent for the garden. June hasn't been bad at all here in eastern NC; mild and moist. Of course, last June was also mild and moist and then in July, the RIDGE OF DEATH set up shop. Hopefully that doesn't happen this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 This is the wettest and coolest Spring and start to Summer that I can ever remember. Pouring rain again.

Unsettled weather looks to continue for the foreseeable future. This is fantastic.Pshhht... more like warmest and wettest, well not warmest. Last year was much cooler here. We had a -3 departure. This year we have a +3 departure so far. Last year we probably would have been -4 or -5 but that heatwave at the end of the month. This year we might have been +4, but that 75 degree from Andrea brought it down. We have had lots of rain though this month. Last year was wet also but not as wet as this year.Look at the next 6-14 days. Very wet. I'm shooting for 10 inches of rain in my backyard. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610prcp.new.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814prcp.new.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at the departures from normal vs. last year for my neck of the woods. Maybe the lack of hot makes it seem cooler than it really is. All I know is that it has felt great and we've had more days in the 70s and less days in the 90s to this point than I anectodally ever remember.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 This has by no means been a cool June. Temps are running 0.3 above normal in Atlanta this month, so pretty much just your typical June weather. Not sure why everyone thinks this month has been so much cooler than usual. Maybe because the last few summers were so hot it has skewed people's perception on what a normal summer is like in the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
