As stated above, the storms trained along and N of 85, then as one was heading S of 85 , in a NE direction, it all of a sudden , dove SE and fringed me! I wanted hail! So is life in the snowhole and severe hole! Enjoying all the rain from this week though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I got absolutely destroyed today...it was so awesome. Seriously best severe weather i've had in a long while. First storm sort of came out of nowhere as a light shower suddenly turned into a huge wind storm. Gusts of easily 60mph. I was seriously concerned with the trees breaking or getting blown over in the yard. Very fast mover though. So fast in fact, It was still raining pretty hard with the storm itself long gone and perfectly clear sky overhead. Second storm saw a roaring rain storm across the road for about 10 minutes before a drop fell here. But right when it was starting suddenly some of the most wicked lightning i've ever seen started. What's odd about it is it kept hitting in the same general area and it went from 0 to 100 for about 4 or 5 minutes then just stopped. It was fooking unreal and strange to be honest. Every strike was probably within a mile or two of the house. You could hear the sizzle with each one. Then the sky opened up and it came an absolute flood. After it stopped raining and it looked like it was over..it started hailing..marble size or maybe even a little bigger. Had a break then had yet another storm..with very strong winds and another flood. All in all about 2.25 inches. This is combined with the inch plus the other day and the couple of inches before that and i've had around 5.5 plus inches in the last week.

sparklecity Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 46° for the low this morning. Got a little chilly while I was sleeping last night. Total for the 4/13-4/20 was 5.95". Total for April so far is 7.40". That should have caught us up and maybe put us ahead for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, wish I could say I was able to witness the same level of excitement with the weather yesterday. Every supercell that developed to my west went well north of me. Including the supercell that went TOR Warned around Marietta. Hell the 3-4 hour power outage my neighborhood went through that was non-weather related was more exciting. At the end of the day I didn't get any rainfall or thunderstorms. It was mainly just clouds/sun all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I dont care what anyone says, the weather does not get anymore perfect than this. 70 degrees and dewpoints near 30 is pure heaven I agree. It wasn't quite that comfy in SAV but it was ~77 with a dewpoint near 45. This made for some of the best walking weather in quite awhile. The sweat level was way down. I could do quite well with this through October, but alas, these types of days will be very few and far between before we know it. So, enjoy them while we have them.

mackerel_sky Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Bone chilling 40 degrees, and the tornado pic from wyff 4 was a verified fake, and the damage the was a roof blown off near Townville, was straighline wind damage, per NWS survey team. Said they were around 80-90 mph ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish dewpoints would stay low all summer. I can't stand dewpoints in the 70s. Even dewpoints in the 60s is pushing it. One day I will live out west and won't have to deal with the horrible summer humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 64 and bonus heavy rain shower! No mention of rain in the forecast! Local 6 o'clock news said no rain outside the mtns because it would dry up coming out of the mtns and showed the humidity in the 20% range all across the upstate! It's pouring now! Awesome! Good to bust on the wet side for a change! Picked up .27 last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
