mackerel_sky Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 .14 here. Flood advisory 4 miles to my N, for 1-3 inches already and another inch on the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Same here --- flood advisory starts about 4 miles from here. We're watching all the lightning down over Smithfield tonight, but enjoying the cooler temps the outflow brought with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thundering and lightning pretty good here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Barely got any rain here at all today and am looking for at least 3 more hot and dry days despite what forecasts say. Think you can add 4-6 degree to forecast temp through sat. and make chances for rain 20% or less for ALL of upstate SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherwx Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Check out that outflow boundary on radar! It spawned a tiny cell right on top of my house in Durham, now it's pouring with constant thunder and lightning. We really needed this rain!

Brick Tamland Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Had some good rain here with the storm. Also had a lot of intense thunder and lightning. Had two strikes very close to the house that scared the mess out of everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Waycrossed tonight! We got a few hundredths, over 2" along the Interstate from Smithfield to Selma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I finally got under a nice thunderstorm while not at work! There was a ton of close CGs with loud thunder. We easily picked up over 2.5" of rain in just under an hour and a half. I loved it!!! The fiancé... Not so much. Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Now stuck under a rogue storm with some of the most rattling thunder we've had in years! GR3 shows it dumping at 1.63"/hr. It's intense enough it's blocking the dish TV signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I got nada again....well it rained for 2 mins and was barely as able to get the road wet enough to tell.....just north of me got it good though.....maybe since chances are lower this afternoon I will see some rain.

Solak Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 .87" yesterday --- most of it coming from that bedtime thunderstorm. 1.72" in the last 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDa-wx Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 slow moving, back building storms in Charlotte between around 6:30-8:00pm yesterday caused probably the most intense thunder and lightning of the season. Guage about a mile from my house in Plaza Midwood reported 3 inches. Lightning struck so close at one point that it actually made me jump while I was making dinner and was immediately followed by thunder. surprisingly, the pup kept on playing as if nothing happened.

downeastnc Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Better parameters setting up east of I-95 today maybe just maybe we can see better coverage of storms today in this part of the state.....yesterday was close half the county got hammered the other half not so much......actually all things considered its pretty unstable out just no shear to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 A lot more popcorn storms showing up earlier today than previous days. Boundaries don't look as easily defined today as they were yesterday, but current radar seems to indicate more action in the piedmont and coastal plain/coast - at least for the near term.

MLcape of 1500 for pretty much everyone. LIs are -5 from the Triangle east, and Cape in the -10 - -30 zone is 400 over Wake county and east. Lapse rates are sucking it up, and there is not much Dcape until you get toward the coast. All in all, not too bad for 12:00 pm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictwister00 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It's almost 1pm and were still in the upper 70s. The clouds are hanging in tough right now. Eventhough the humidity/dewpoint is still high, it doesn't feel too bad. I think the NWS forecast of 87 is probably not gonna happen unless we get a lot more sunshine this afternoon.

Cold Rain Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 86/73 at RDU at 1:00 pm. 3000 SBcape creeping west and 2000 MLcape over a good portion of the area. It's a bit steamy out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit steamy out. yeah if we had any kinda shear today it would be rough, instead we will get slow moving pulse storms that bubble their way across the landscape. Good for those that get them bad for those that dont. Also the sea breeze is a player today......I live in eastern Pitt Co that bodes well for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Looks like all the action today is across the north and moving north. Wonder if we'll get any development farther south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsandhills Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Looking out my west facing window, storm clouds are definitely building. Very yuck outside too. Step outside and it feels like a damn sauna. Nothing on the radar down here at all, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Had a whopping .07" earlier today. Currently 87 with a 75 dew point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Had a whopping .07" earlier today. Currently 87 with a 75 dew point. Yeah for the 3rd day in a row I can hear constant thunder and nary a drop gonna fall here...hoping something pops south and drifts this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Looks like all the action today is across the north and moving north. Wonder if we'll get any development farther south? Don't see much happening unless something forms with that outflow pushing N from down around Newton Grove, or the weaker one dropping down from the former Hillsborough cluster.

weatherfide Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Very close to 2" of rain in today's storm. Very good start to September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 What's going to happen when those two outflows smack each other right over the KRAX RADAR site? It sure is fun to watch, even if nothing evolves. Yeah---- life is boring... it's either pulling weeds with mosquitoes, or watching radar scans in the comfort of the AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get done pulling weeds, come over here and help me pull some. I'll feed you some Bojangles and we can sit on the porch and watch the mosquitos after!

Cold Rain Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It is amazing to me how the exact same spot on the Wake/Johnston Co line can get a storm 3 days in a row...5 miles from me, and I get nothing. 3 days in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
