Crapper Jim Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Anemic and stationary storms on the look-see-dar. Not holding much hopeium here. 84. Some juiciness in the air. BTW - Killed a Black Widow Spider, fully an inch in diameter! Beauty of a specimen. They are all over the place... this year, and last. No... it was not my wife.

sparklecity Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Storms moving at a snails pace with convection following no discernible direction, although the overall flow is southeast. Hoping to get under one of these later....I'm way to hungover to water today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 There is some convection firing around the mountains and looks to be sliding southeast. We get some pretty decent storms when the come rolling down the mountains ! 83/63, little muggy out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If you are in the western upstate of SC and need rain, the radar is looking sexy!!! A complex of storms is forming and been going for awhile and looks to be drifting east and holding together! 84 and cloudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they'll move into our area... though they appear to be on the prowl. Maybe... I should go out and do a provocative dance? Edit: There's "thunder in the air!" It's not just my morning bowel movement echos. Storms are forming, SW of me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Looks like this is gonna be another miss for Spartanburg. Storms accelerating southward. Might get fringed if I'm lucky. Maybe something will fire northwest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Sunny and light rain. Tornado warning for the extreme SE part of the county. People here think it is for us because it's all over the TV lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crapper Jim Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Nice stuff coming through. Moderate rain, heavy at times... a lot of lightning! A few close strikes. Nice to see!!! "It's been a while since I had a 'sexy storm'." Edit: Winds 40-50 (gusts near 60), very heavy rain. Edit: Tree down on the 418, MBY. 60+mph gust not out of question. Over an inch of rain in less than an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wind and rain subsiding... local flooding. Lightning picking up again. Mostly east. Loud, frequent. Look out... E, SE of me. These storms were more potent than they appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Over 10 drops of rain in less than an hour here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Excessive lightning and thunder. The storm is right there. It better rain. Edit: The complex of storms split. They find a new solution every time to jump over Waycross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Picked up 1.27 inches with yesterday's storms! Have high hopes for this weeks storm chances due to the fact Sunday was suppose to be the least active day out of the next 4 or 5, so we are ahead of the game!

They find a new solution every time to jump over Waycross. Sounds like the old Spartanburg split. Did they reform the next county over? Picked up 1.27 inches with yesterday's storms! Have high hopes for this weeks storm chances due to the fact Sunday was suppose to be the least active day out of the next 4 or 5, so we are ahead of the game! I'm hoping we can pick up an inch over the next few days. Chance of storms on the grids through this friday. Some storms in Georgia moving east right now that looks like they may have a decent chance of hitting the upstate. I'm gonna go broke having to water. Already received an almost $200 water bill last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Sounds like the Spartanburg split. Did they reform the next county over?Lol yeah they did. We only got an epic lightning show. Then picked up 0.05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Storms firing along the Blue Ridge escarpment in Caldwell and Wilkes Counties, NC. I'm hoping they'll drift SE and give us some much-needed rainfall here in Hickory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Radar looking less impressive as the storms approach. Definite weakening trend as they approach Spartanburg County. Still holding out hope though. The cycle will be broken sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharonA Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The afternoon has been one of those where there is intermittent darkening of the sky and rumbling to the NNE as cells form and move on. Then we had a lovely blast of outflow, followed shortly by rain triggered by the outflow. (I'll admit I wasn't too upset to have an excuse not to continue with the chainsawing of deadfall). The jury's still out on whether the post-rain atmosphere outside will be refreshing, or too gooey to finish the yardwork that the rain interrupted.

sparklecity Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Oh my...we just had our cycle breaker. Witnessed 3 trees falling and just dumped rain. Sirens everywhere right now. Prob sustained 50-60mph wind for 2 minutes gusting upwards of 70-80mph when the trees came down. Just took a drive around and the damage was pretty much limited to our neighborhood. A large mature pine tree at our neighbor's house just snapped 4 or 5 feet up. Was lucky and missed the house and cars. Another full sized Silver Maple was pretty much shredded and destroyed. It lost probably 75% of its limbs. This had to have been a microburst to be limited to such a small area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 87 with a dew point of 73 and dry right now. We need rain. We have only had 1.40 inches so far this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Another nice storm today and another direct hit. Picked up about .75" today and 1" yesterday. The miss streak is officially over! Some more nice winds today as well. A little bit stronger and another pine tree would be down. One was bending about 35-40 degrees and I thought for sure it was going. The winds yesterday were the strongest I've witnessed in a very long time, and that storm wasn't even warned. Another neighbor had a dogwood uproot and hit their house.
