Hvward Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 tons of wicked lightning in these cells here in the east also rained so hard I couldn't see 100ft in front of the truck coming home from the store. Yeah those cells are beastly. Bath looks to be getting hammered in just a second. Lots of embeded rotation in the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Well that's great news! Now you can get outside and don't have to worry about rain. Huge win for you!indeed. Exactly what he was wishing for the other day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yeah those cells are beastly. Bath looks to be getting hammered in just a second. Lots of embeded rotation in the line. I was at a river house between Bath and Belhaven all week last week and couldn't get a storm like these all week.....these things are awesome to watch on the big water down there. Pretty sure there is a stout wind gust on the leading edge with that storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sun is out now. Maybe it'll heat things up for the storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there is a stout wind gust on the leading edge with that storm. Yeah I bet! The cell South of Cove City is note worth as of the last scan. Just popped an appendage way South. Might not have enough shear present to get these going today, but if there were to be rotation develop it will head right for New Bern. Interesting day to watch the radar.

Cold Rain Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sun is out now. Maybe it'll heat things up for the storms. Don't sound so unsure because you're right on the money. The sun will DEFINITELY heat things up. It's a pretty efficient warming mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 well the sun is coming out....it was already oppressive enough with the high DP now we get to add the sun to the mix......maybe we will see some more storms though I cant imagine this atmosphere being able to take to much sun in before storms re-fire.

shaggy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 As we came down highway 13 we had to go through the path of the delay storm/tornado. Tree damage was moderate with mostly just large branches and partially broken trees. Had to be one heck of a hail core because the hail fog was thick. We had to go down to one lane to get around that tractor tailer that was flipped over. Didn't seem like severe damage but when a tornado hits a RV and camper campground it doesn't take much.

Brick Tamland Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That is a bad thing about staying at an RV park like that. We stay at one when we go to Myrtle Beach. There isn't really anywhere to go if a tornado comes except the bathhouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 WRAL saying the storms are still on the way. WRAL Mike Maze 3 mins · There's not much on the radar right now, but we do expect that to change in the next couple of hours. We are tracking a cold front to our west that is moving closer to us that will trigger greater growth of showers and storms through the afternoon and evening commute. Watch out for localized flooding and gusty winds for the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 looks like you got another chance Brick. In other news, the cell South of Petersburg, Va is pretty wrapped up and has a classic supercell look. Edit: just got warned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Props to the NWS. Two warnings were issued here about two hours ago. One just to my north and one just to my south. A county line runs through my yard. The warning boxes almost touched right over me but not quite. When I zoomed in on my GR radar I was exactly between both. Well less than a mile between them. Now I know this was almost certainly just a graphics limitation, but I called my wife over to show her that we weren't in the warning but most of our neighbors were. We enjoyed a chuckle.....but then. The solid line of storms that were approaching showed a tiny gap opening up as it approached my location. And then it was on us, 50+dbz just to the south, 50+dbz just to the north. My storm total......0.03". Pretty damn cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
