Very interesting indeed. Saw all day that there were warnings up but just got home to see that sig and it looks very legit. Hope and pray everyone in its path is ok.

Hvward Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Very strong couplet southwest of Heidelberg, MS moving NE. Nothing on Brett Adair's cam just yet but this one could produce also after it cycles. Also small circulation down near the Laurel, MS area.

I have doubts we'll see any strong storms here even once the warm front sweeps north of us overnight, but I guess we'll see... idk for what its worth, Covington, GA reported quarter size hail this morning in like 43 degrees, with stronger dynamics in play and warmer temps I expect to see something decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Franklin said "yawn"earlier today regarding the severe threat. That comment has since been deleted, I'm sure by him.. I bet the familes of the people who died don't agree. That should be a warning to everyone to not let your guard down or dismiss severe weather as it can be dangerous anytime of year.

NavarreDon Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Thoughts & Prayers to those affected by the storms. Down here we didn't have any tornadoes to deal with thankfully. Wave after wave of dynamic storms though. Over 5" of rain from discreet cells & the main line. The volume of lightning strikes is just amazing when these systems move thru. On & off sheets of wind whipped rain with some est. wind gusts to around 40 mph. Was quite a day & night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISCUSSION...LONG-LOOP RADAR IMAGERY SUGGESTS REMNANT MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION HAS MIGRATED ACROSS WRN NC/VA INTO THE NRN CHESAPEAKE BAY REGION. AN EXPANSIVE REGION OF LIGHTNING-FREE CONVECTION/PRECIPITATION IS NOTED WITH THIS FEATURE EXTENDING SWD TO NEAR ILM WHERE DEEP CONVECTION AND LIGHTNING IS NOTED. IT APPEARS SRN INFLUENCE OF THIS FEATURE MAY BE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR RECENT UPWARD GROWTH OF TSTM ACTIVITY ALONG THE NC COAST WHERE SFC DEW POINTS ARE NOW RISING THROUGH THE UPPER 60S. STRONG SHEAR SUPPORTS DEEP ROTATION AS EVIDENT BY EVOLVING SUPERCELLS OVER BRUNSWICK COUNTY NC. THERE IS INCREASING CONCERN THAT A COUPLE OF TORNADOES COULD EVOLVE WITHIN THIS ACTIVITY AS TAIL END OF STRONGER FORCING/CONVERGENCE TRANSLATE TOWARD THE OUTER BANKS REGION. ..DARROW/CORFIDI.. 12/24/2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
