downeastnc Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ahh yeah my favorite thread.......saw the cape building with the decent shear and thought we might see some fireworks, unfortunately I was at work the entire time although the plant got clipped by the tail end of the warned cell in Pitt Co.....do any of you guys got a way to look at the velocity scans when it was over north Pitt Co....I want to time it to the pic my wife got and see what the rotation looked like around that time the pic was taken at 5:19 I am guessing it was pretty ragged and broad....

LithiaWx Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Had some pretty good storms just south of the ATL today. Lots of cool storm cloud formations abound today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Wooohooo marginal lol ...PIEDMONT INTO COASTAL PLAINS OF THE CAROLINAS... MID/UPPER FORCING TO SUPPORT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT REMAINS A BIT UNCLEAR...AND MAY NOT BE PARTICULARLY STRONG. FURTHERMORE... WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL TEND TO LIMIT THE DEGREE OF CAPE FOR MOIST LIFTED PARCELS. HOWEVER...GUIDANCE DOES APPEAR TO SUGGEST THAT...AS COLD SURFACE RIDGING SHIFTS OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST...A WEAKENING/REMNANT LOW-LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE MAY BECOME THE FOCUS FOR THE MOST SUBSTANTIVE BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON /CAPE ON THE ORDER OF 500 J PER KG MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION/. ROUGHLY ALIGNED WITH A LINGERING BELT OF 30-50 KT LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC FLOW...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE ENVIRONMENT COULD BECOME CONDUCIVE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF GENERATING LOCALIZED STRONG SURFACE GUSTS APPROACHING OR BRIEFLY EXCEEDING SEVERE LIMITS.

LithiaWx Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 ATL proper should get a squall line around 9-10PM tonight... It should remain below severe limits but we shall see, would not shock me to see some wind damage from individual cells imbedded in the main line.

A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM THE RED RIVER VALLEY OF TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA EASTWARD ACROSS PARTS OF ARKANSAS...MISSISSIPPI...AND ALABAMA. ...SYNOPSIS... THE LARGE-SCALE PATTERN IS BECOMING MORE PROGRESSIVE AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES INLAND OVER THE PAC NW...AND THE DOWNSTREAM SHORTWAVE RIDGE DEVELOPS EWD TOWARD THE NRN PLAINS. A MUCH WEAKER SRN STREAM PERSISTS OVER MEXICO/TX...WITH AN EMBEDDED TROUGH OVER THE BAJA PENINSULA. ...RED RIVER VALLEY EWD TO MS/AL TODAY INTO TONIGHT... A SERIES OF SUBTLE SPEED MAXIMA...ONE OVER N CENTRAL OK AND ANOTHER NEAR THE CO/NEB BORDER AS OF 12Z...WILL MOVE ESEWD/SEWD ON THE SRN PERIPHERY OF THE STRONGER NRN STREAM FLOW.

BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW-MID 60S ARE RETURNING NWD/NEWD BENEATH THE LAPSE RATE PLUME...SUCH THAT MODERATE-STRONG BUOYANCY IS EXPECTED WITH SURFACE HEATING FROM THE RED RIVER VALLEY TO THE ARK-LA-MISS. A DIFFUSE SURFACE PATTERN MAKES FOR A DIFFICULT CONVECTIVE INITIATION FORECAST TODAY. THE ERN EXTENT OF THE SEVERE THREAT IN MS/AL WILL LIKELY BE RELATED TO WEAKENING CONVECTIVE INHIBITION AND NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT ON THE SW FRINGE OF THE WEAK MORNING WAA SHOWERS/CONVECTION. FARTHER W...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WEAK ASCENT PRECEDING THE SUBTLE WAVE OVER N CENTRAL OK COULD CONTRIBUTE TO A SMALL INCREASE IN THE RISK FOR STORM FORMATION THIS AFTERNOON FROM SE OK INTO WRN AR. CONTINUING W ALONG THE RED RIVER VALLEY...THERE IS NO CLEAR SYNOPTIC FORCING FOR ASCENT. HOWEVER...A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH/WARM FRONT STRUCTURE SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY INVOF THE RED RIVER...JUST E OF A WEAK LEE/THERMAL LOW NEAR CDS. AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE CORRIDOR ALONG AND JUST N OF THIS TROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON /ACROSS SRN AND POTENTIALLY INTO CENTRAL OK/.

DESPITE WEAK LOW-LEVEL FLOW...DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED STORM STRUCTURES...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS...FROM SW OK EWD INTO AR/MS/AL. THE CONDITIONAL HAIL RISK APPEARS TO BE GREATEST ACROSS THE OK/AR PORTION OF THE SLIGHT RISK AREA WHERE BUOYANCY WILL BE LARGEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. ONE OR MORE CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO TONIGHT IN THE SLIGHT RISK AREA AS A RESULT OF STORM/OUTFLOW INTERACTIONS. ..THOMPSON/MOSIER.. 03/31/2015 CLICK TO GET WUUS01 PTSDY1 PRODUCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 SPC talking up Friday ...MID-ATLANTIC REGION SWWD ACROSS THE CAROLINAS... SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD BE ONGOING NEAR AND W OF THE APPALACHIANS AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...WITH THE CONVECTION -- AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT -- TO CROSS THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE DAY. DEPENDING UPON THE SPEED OF THE ADVANCE OF THE CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION INTO THE E COAST STATES...SOME AFTERNOON DESTABILIZATION SHOULD OCCUR...SUPPORTING AN INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE/INTENSITY. WHILE VEERED FLOW THROUGH A DEEP LAYER SUGGESTS QUASI-UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW WITH HEIGHT...MID-LEVEL FLOW ON THE ORDER OF 40 TO 50 KT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR ORGANIZED STORMS...AND ATTENDANT RISKS FOR HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

Solak Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 US National Weather Service Eastern Region HQ 13 mins · ...Severe Thunderstorm Threat Moving East During the Rest of the Week...A west-east oriented frontal boundary will push a little bit south today, and begin to move back north tonight and Thursday. On Friday and Friday night a storm system and the accompanying cold front will move across the Eastern US and off the coast by Saturday morning. These frontal boundaries will be the focus for thunderstorms over the next few days, with the threat for strong storms with large hail...

VeronicaCorningstone Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks like a strobe light going, nonstop here. still pouring but hail is over. I saw quite a bit of marble sized hail as it was tapering off, but I am sure there was some larger at the peak of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It's been quite the lightning maker. Been steadily lighting up our sky since about 8:00, and we're well West of the track of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Moon Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Don't worry about the truck, get some pics!!! Once the lightening calmed down I was able to grab a couple of hail stones, but they had been melting for at least 15-20 minutes. Still the size close to a golf ball. Checked my truck out and don't think I have any damage. But NWS indicates damage did occur to homes and vehicles in Franklin Co. where I'm located. FEW IF ANY REPORTS OF WIND BUT NUMEROUS REPORTS OF HAIL WITH DESTRUCTIVE HAIL OCCURRING OVER SECTIONS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO HOMES AND VEHICLES. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=RAH&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0&highlight=off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 A friend of mine to the north of me in Franklington had a lot of damage from the hail. Busted window on his house, busted window on one car, and both cars had dents from the hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
