That aint no joke. They're getting organized quickly and moving NE towards my area. Hard to say but the converging bands may come right over top of here or slightly east.

downeastnc Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Most likely going to see first tornado warning of the day on the cell east of Greensboro its getting together quick and they could pull the trigger on a tor warning soon if it continues.

downeastnc Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not really seeing much there, if there is anything, it's very broad. Yeah it tried to get tighter for a scan or two but its not so much to see now......a lot of close storms there could make it tough for one to get going there.... Might need to watch the ones SW of the triangle they are more discrete and might have a better shot and unfortunately they are headed for Raleigh metro so would have a bigger impact if they can get spun up.

FLweather Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Its about to get nasty. Storms coming in from the S/W and alot of thunder off in the distance. That cell near Graham and Burlington damn... 65-75 dbz hail city. If the trajectory is right as Im think the worse part of that cell may come pretty close tp mby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-lemonade Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The worst of it may be just south of Roxboro, Timberlake? The cell just north of fayetteville seems to be picking up quick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 So far nothing has been able to get organized rotation wise, lots of trash and storms cutting each other off, have seen some impressive dbz in a few cells some big hail reports would not be surprising.
