Actually have some stratoform rain that's wetting the pavement ! Winning

 

My pavenment isn't quite wet, kind of that blotchy look bc it is still hot.  I'm going to start measuring rainfall in drops instead of inches.  Strataform rain is the only saving grace so far this summer.  I think we have only had 2 (maybe 1) legit storms all spring and summer.  Maybe I can pick up a tenth or 2 of rain from that.

The slight risk for tomorrow in SC and NC can safely be removed. One or two storms at best tomorrow with temps right back to 95-100. Bet on it.

 

No, this time the rain is going to affect a large number of members on our forum. As far as removing the slight risk for NC and SC, .... not a good idea. Give me a reason why you think the risk of severe storms is over.

For 1, just look at the radar tonight. There is not anywhere close to the number and intensity of storms in Tenn or Kentucky that was expected. Another one is that no severe weather forecast has panned out anywhere like it has been forecast. There has always been something to go wrong with it. GSP has already hinted that the front with be late getting here and that is why I say temps will go back up to 95-100. This also makes for bad timing for the front coming through. So yes, the slight risk can safely be removed.

From GSP:

 

THERE ARE SEVERAL POTENTIAL AREAS FOR
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS PERIOD. FOLLOWING TONIGHTS
ACTIVITY...WHICH MODELS TRAIL OFF AROUND 6Z...A MAJOR COLD WILL PASS
THROUGH THE AREA AROUND SATURDAY AFTERNOON CARRYING WITH IT A HIGH
PROBABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE. LATEST NAM
TIMING HAS FRONT ENTERING THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA AROUND 11AM
ON SATURDAY...AND EXITING SOUTHEAST AROUND 6PM. TOTAL RAINFALL
THROUGH SATURDAY IS AROUND 3/4 OF AN INCH...THOUGH AMOUNTS WILL BE
HIGHLY VARIABLE FROM PLACE TO PLACE.

 

Highly variable, as in some places will get several inches while some get nothing.  Guarantee mby gets almost nothing.  Prob end up getting fringed by some decaying cell.  I've seen this story too many times to not know the ending.

That made me laugh... oh the memories. But you are right haha we have been getting lucky here in Jville with some crazy storms recently; if we get the instability like we have had the past few days over eastern nc I can see a lot of us getting in the game for some severe tomorrow. I hope we can get some decent heating going early in the day and not have a lot of crapvection left over from tonight's storms.

Well we had at least 3 tornado warned storms in the Ohio Valley today so I guess the risk the SPC expressed was warranted. Wind profiles look favorable for supecell development tomorrow that congeals into an MCS. You give no scientific analysis to why it is safe to drop the risk, similar to how you give no reasoning behind most of your bold statements. I know I call you out the most, but it is because I get sick and tired of your ridiculous know it all attitude. Just the other day you said rain chances needed to be dropped for today around the upstate but yet today most of GSP area got decent rain. The Jonesville desert didn't get any but really who gives a crap about yby. You were wrong all winter long, remember back when you call for no snow anywhere when we got our big winter storm last winter? Oh and how you called for no snow on the V-day storm of last year. Dont make me go pull posts to show you how ridiculous of statements you have made in the past only to be wrong. It is almost as though you are doing this to get under peoples skin but there are people who read this board and take your posts seriously. How many times are you going to say "looks like 1993"? I have never seen anyone on this board other then wilkesborodude push their agenda so they are right so far. Once again, you have been wrong this week, wrong this year, and wrong last year.. Please stop posting and belittling others who actually get their forecasts right every once in a while. Anyone can say ehhhh its gonna be dry, you have no special skill. #rantover

Two items of interest from RAH this morning...

FLASH FLOOD WATCH: GIVEN DEEP MOISTURE (PWAT 1.75-2.00") AND SEVERAL ROUNDS OF WIDESPREAD CONVECTION EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL NC TODAY/ TONIGHT...THE FIRST ALONG/AHEAD OF A SFC-H85 WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH TOWARD THE VA BORDER THIS MORNING AND THE SECOND ALONG/AHEAD OF AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD FRONT PROGRESSING THROUGH THE AREA FROM NW-SE THIS AFT/EVE...HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NC IN EFFECT THROUGH MIDNIGHT (WEST OF HWY 1) AND SUNRISE SUNDAY (EAST OF HWY 1).SEVERE THREAT: STRENGTHENING MID-LEVEL FLOW/DPVA IN ADVANCE OF THE UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC...IN THE PRESENCE OF FAVORABLE DIURNAL TIMING AND MODERATE DESTABILIZATION...SHOULD INTRODUCE THE NECESSARY FORCING/KINEMATICS FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... ESPECIALLY W/REGARD TO DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN MODERATE INSTABILITY (STRONG UPDRAFTS)...HIGH PWAT VALUES (PRECIP-LOADING)...HIGH DCAPE (EVAP COOLING)...AND UNSEASONABLY STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW (MOMENTUM TRANSPORT). THOUGH MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE MARGINAL (5.5-6.0 C/KM)...GIVEN MODERATE INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS THIS AFT/EVE...LARGE HAIL (QUARTER TO GOLFBALL) CANNOT NOT BE RULED OUT. A TORNADO CAN NEVER BE RULED OUT WITH CONVECTION...ORGANIZED OR NOT...HOWEVER...IN THIS CASE THE BEST TOR POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF CENTRAL NC...IN CLOSER VICINITY TO THE SYNOPTIC LOW /WARM FRONT/ OVER NORTHERN VA/MD AND DELMARVA. -VINCENT

Glad that the slight risk was safely removed..  Wind profiles around the Greenville, NC area still looking favorable for slight tornadic development and if I hadn't had a shoulder injury Thursday night.. I would be on my way there right now.  I see little if any veer-back-veer so if a supercell can pop up in that environment, it will likely put down a weak end tornado.  The WRF-ARW shows this happening around the Rocky Mount area but really it is difficult to pin something that this down exactly.  If you live within this vicinity, watch the radar and check back here later this afternoon when cells pop.

Not everyone is going to get something severe out of this, but the atmosphere is ripe for development and those that do get under cells are going to get pounded.  We may not see a single drop of rain in Jonesville, but Spartanburg could see wind damage.  That is how these things work.  With the cold front overhead, lapse rates will cause cumulonimbus to soar and downburst cape will be very high.  Stay on guard today and watch the radar blow up this afternoon.

Guess we'll see if we actually get a storm in Wake Forest when we are under a greater threat. Once again last night we got a pretty big storm when there was no watch, and nothing during the watch. It seems the weather here likes to do the opposite of what the threat is at the time.

Your last two sentences are based on a false premise.

Not really. I have not had any severe storms this year during a watch. Not even any impressive storms at all. The times I have had a big storm, which are probably about three big ones and one actual severe, I was not under a watch. It is just funny how that has worked out this year, but that is the way it has been.

Not saying the threats have not been real and the watches have not been warranted. Just saying they have not produced anything big here when there is a threat and a watch. Maybe today will be different.

There's a flood watch in effect for Wake as well. I can't WAIT to hear you complain about getting too much rain.

Just because you didn't get anything bad out of the watch doesn't mean the watch failed. There were numerous reports of severe weather within the watch area. 7 reports of 1" hail in the Clayton area alone, yet all I had was a 10 minute sprinkle from the same storm. That doesn't mean nothing happened during the watch. It just didn't happen here. 

 

As to your last part, there are plenty of times when you can get a 'big storm' with out having to have a watch ahead of time. More often than not, most summertime 'big storms' occur without any kind of watch being in place.

AND why in the world should a non-severe storm necessitate a watch? As you said, this is an extremely common occurrence.

I never said the watches failed. I said they were warranted at the time. Just that I have not had a severe storm personally during a watch this year. Just thought it was funny that I have had the biggest storms without a watch. I would think the big storms would come during a watch, when the conditions are supposed to be favorable for them, even if they are not severe. But that has not been the case so far for me personally. Not dogging the forecasters, I just think it is funny it has turned out that way. I feel like I am not explaining it well or something, so I will just drop it and see what today brings.
