Poimen Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Looks like all the activity is going to miss Wake wide right. I wonder if anything will form west or if they'll have to cut the watch down soon? I was wondering the same. I am noticing more storms developing in SC...and they may track toward the region, so I don't think this is over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I believe this will be an I 95 event.. storms moving sw to ne firing up near fayetteville.. Goldsboro to rocky mount looks to be in the spot for thunderstorms WRAL just said the front is going to come north and put the Triangle into play.

Dunkman Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Newer couplet western Wilson Co could be big trouble track would take it into the greater Wilson area..... They just warned it. Also I'm not sure I would have pulled the warning for the first storm considering the public reported a tornado like 15 minutes before they yanked the warning. And they just had to put the warning back up for the first storm around Wilson because there's a tornado on the ground. Come on KRAX, give the people some warning.

Dunkman Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wonder...is it the low shear values that are keeping these NC storms from really wrapping up? Seems like we've had lots of broad circulation with very brief spinups so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Wedge holding firm across the triad. Not our day here (thankfully) but tomorrow has potential. I agree with the I-95 east assessment for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Look at the cell moving almost north over Snow Hill, NC. Remember last week when two boundaries collided over Fayetteville? Looks like Eastern NC is in for a long night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDUBRDU Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0480 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0338 PM CDT TUE APR 29 2014 AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL AND ERN NC CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 117... VALID 292038Z - 292215Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 117 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...A TORNADO THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE ACROSS WW 117 THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. WIND DAMAGE AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD MOVE NEWD ACROSS THE NERN THIRD OF THE WATCH OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 3 HOURS. DISCUSSION...THE LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A WARM FRONT MOVING NWD ACROSS ERN NC JUST TO THE EAST OF RALEIGH. THE STORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WHERE SFC DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE LOWER 70S F AND MODERATE INSTABILITY IS PRESENT. IN ADDITION...THE WSR-88D VWP AT RALEIGH SHOWS 0-6 KM SHEAR NEAR 40 KT WITH DIRECTIONAL SHEAR FROM THE SFC TO 3 KM. THIS IS HELPING TO CREATE 0-3 STORM RELATIVE HELICITY OF 375 M2/S2. THE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES ESPECIALLY WITH CELLS THAT INTERACT WITH THE BOUNDARY. THIS THREAT SHOULD PERSIST FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS DUE TO THE FAVORABLE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. THE MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD ALSO BE FAVORABLE FOR LARGE HAIL. WIND DAMAGE MAY ALSO OCCUR AND SHOULD BE ENHANCED NEAR SHORT-LINE SEGMENTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 We're about 9 miles west of I-95 straight out Hwy 70. All the activity has been up or just East of 95 so far. Did see some low level clouds a little earlier (4:30 +/-) racing in from the North, so one of those cells apparently had a very broad low level circulation. Currently 70/68. Really muggy out.

Hvward Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah even the little ones are rotating quickly that one will be closer only 15 miles west of me.... Will be interesting to see if it all turns into one storm with a strong hook headed towards or just north (Bethel area) of Greenville. Fun to watch on radar but scary for you guys in the path.

Hvward Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 More discrete cells popping up around Lumberton. Cell south of Rock Fish could turn nasty for Fayetteville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I looking for something to fire south of Goldsboro and head NE that airmass hasnt been worked over yet and as the storms shift east that has the biggest threat for Greenville IMO unless this storm dropping out of Wilson does something odd.

downeastnc Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Storm over far western Pitt Co trying to tornado before it runs into the main cell over Wilson and Edgecombe, most likely doesnt have time unless it merges and keeps its rotation.

mackerel_sky Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm thinking this whole system is underperforming for mby. Been under a flood watch since Monday , and only had a few sprinkles! Don't want tornadoes, but a nice thunderstorm wouldn't be too bad? All local media was touting flooding and 4-6 inches of rain, and we have about a day to get all that rain, and nothing within about 300 miles of here on the radar! Need rain for the garden!

Brick Tamland Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Looks like the sun is trying to break through here in Wake Forest, it or sure it will have time to do much now. 95 looks to be where th action is today. Looking forward to tomorrow, I wonder if the warm front will come further north and more of NC will be under the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
