sparklecity Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Maybe I'll get something out of this....right now everything is to my south, north, east, and west again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The radar presentation just went from a bunch of sorta-lined-up-blobs into a lovely *click* straight and narrow line. (This is west of Atlanta) Line is only about 1-2 miles away, the sky just went dark as I typed this and the breeze took a turn from cool-and-damp to chilly-and-wet. Looking forward to rain. ...aaaaand the wind's just hit the treetops, time to go close the west-facing windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Finally got dumped on with very nice wind gusts as well. Picked up somewhere b/w .3 and .4" in a span of 10-15 minute. I'll take it! No watering the yard or garden today or tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What a "tease"! Thin line... pay attention. Normally, yeah, I'd be watching it like a hawk. But this line was weak when it started and didn't have much to work with. The CAPES and shear to support SVR just weren't there. We had a couple of minutes of moderate-almost-heavy rain, then it settled into moderate-to-light since. A few gusts, but I doubt any of them topped 35-40mph. A couple of thunderbooms. I can tell the windspeeds were low by the fact that the one west-facing window I left open never got enough rain blown in to annoy the cat sitting on the sill. South of us they had a bit heavier activity, still well below SVR from what I could tell. The real misery from this line will be that it was perfectly timed to totally screw up Atlanta's rush hour for the west and northbound traffic, and on a Friday at the beginning of serious travel season, too. ugly ugly ugly.

FallsLake Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Just had a heavy shower. RDU made it up to 89 degrees for a second day, so officially still no 90 degree day this year. But still warm enough for me to have the AC on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The line of storms is falling apart as it hits the W Carolinas! Getting that sinking feeling that it's gonna be 2012 summer part deux!? Don't have much hope for tomorrow and the 3-4 more days of upper 80s, very close to starting to toss around the "D" word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Got a nice little storm yesterday with some good downpours. Short lived though.. only got 0.17" at the house but it blew through with quite a roar. Watch 6 workers at the Sam's Club run out to catch a canopy that was just about to fly away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I caught all of it and then some!!! Nickel-quarter sized hail for about 5-10 minutes!! It was awesome, some were smoothe and some were spiky like starfish! 2nd biggest hail I've seen in person in my life! I was running around outside like it was snowing and have two bowls of the bigger and neater looking ones in the freezer!# nerd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pretty dull storm with a few claps of thunder and decent rain, maybe 1/4 of an inch and I heard it start hitting the window, then ran around like a 5 year old! I wish I could post pics, I got alot on my phone . Against edges of house and beds, it collected like sleet! I'm going to look at the hail in the bowls atleast once a week and show them to everyone that visits!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 May is actually our driest month. I thought it was April. We average 2.75 in April, and 2.3 in May. It hasn't rained in 9 days. Lame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Got up to 88 here, but humidity dropped down to 29% mid afternoon with a 52 DP. Been a long time since I've seen the birdbath evaporate so quickly like it has over the last 2 days! Outflow boundary came through and quickly dropped the temp down to 75 at that time.
