FLweather Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 So go figure... splitsville here. One to the east and one to the NW and alot of thunder and ligthning in the back ground. Neighbors must think Im wack. I put 5 good thick padded blankets on the car to prevent hail damage and they go around. That cell east of Danville over top of South Boston looks very ominous. Sky is pitch black with a tint of blue and green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Look like the storm near Dunn is going to ride I-95 through Johnston County. That's little too close to home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I need the one near Fayetteville to maintain that's the one I am going to chase if it holds up assuming nothing better forms in the next hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Look like the storm near Dunn is going to ride I-95 through Johnston County. That's little too close to home... Looks to be ingesting some southerly flow as it cycles. Could kill it or blow it up. I bet it blows it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 67dbz storms near Dunn, also near Durham. Those have got to be thundering! Pretty decent size hail estimated on Level3 data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Look like the storm near Dunn is going to ride I-95 through Johnston County. That's little too close to home... Looks like it's going to ride up or to the East of 95. Clayton's gonna miss out on this round, I think. Four Oaks & Smithfield might catch it.

With PWATS around 1.3"/Decent lapse rates...I wouldn't be surprised to see some interesting hail reports from this event (IE. covering the ground) there are some reports of that already not so much large hail just lots of pea to nickel size stuff but the slow movement is letting it pile up....

FLweather Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Im surprised to see more storms firing up west of here back towards GSO and south considering the storm band of storms that came through earlier. Usually the atmosphere stablizes after a strong band. But they're strenghtening because more and more thunder is popping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I saw nickel-sized hail in Chapel Hill about 40 minutes ago. That's what I saw at my house 30 minutes ago. Covered the ground. Lots of leaves and branches everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALID 251922Z - 252045Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 91 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...THE TORNADO POTENTIAL IS INCREASING ACROSS PARTS OF THE PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN OF NORTH CAROLINA AND SRN VIRGINIA. DISCUSSION...SFC MESOANALYSIS REVELS A WWD-ADVANCING AGGREGATE OUTFLOW/SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY RUNNING ROUGHLY FROM HALIFAX TO CUMBERLAND COUNTY. AS ONGOING DISCRETE/SEMI-DISCRETE SUPERCELLS EVOLVING OVER THE PIEDMONT SPREAD E INTO THE MOISTER/MODERATELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT EAST OF THIS BOUNDARY...THEY WILL ENCOUNTER RELATIVELY BACKED SFC WINDS TO BOOST EFFECTIVE SRH TO AROUND 200 M2/S2. LOW-LEVEL HELICITY WILL FURTHER INCREASE AS STRONGER DEEP FLOW ARRIVES IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN ACCOMPANYING PV MAX AND LOW-LEVEL FLOW RESPONDS. TRENDS IN RAX VWP DATA ALREADY REFLECT THIS RESPONSE. AS SUCH...THE RISK FOR TORNADOES WILL INCREASE IN THE NEAR-TERM...PARTICULARLY IN ERN NC AND SERN VA. A STRONG TORNADO RISK WILL EXIST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
