cbmclean Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Highway 64 train is really producing tonight. Can't wait to see the rainfall map for this tomorrow... nothing is dipping south.... a straight train west to east. Interesting and impressive radar imagery tonight. I happen to be on the southern edge of that train, and I am getting a nice storm tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You know, facing an obnoxious heat-wave ridge during the day is so much easier when you have some nice evening rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Finally bout to get some rain! We will not get good rain here for months it seems. You know when 2 storms get within 3 miles and hit the same spots and leave your area dry that you aren't getting rain anytime soon. Even a hurricane taking the path hugo took would find someway to split around here I bet, leaving this area bone dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Besides continuing to develop at the western end, does it mean that the eastern end kind of disintegrate as it goes? No not really, if I had a radar loop to show you it would help but imagine a line of storms the form just to your east and start moving east and you think dang missed me again but then the western edge starts to move west and then you get also get hit, that's more what back building is.....

NRVwxfan. Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hang in there, we all know that feeling. I definitely know how he feels. Been weeks since i have had measurable rain, and everything misses us in every direction. I have lost all hope of ever seeing rain here again.

Isopycnic Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 1.66" yesterday. Had 1.22" in 15 minutes around 10-10:15pm. Saw some flooding in west durham while driving home from downtown durham. Look at the ridiculous Davis vp rain rates... +11" per hour? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Pardon my newbie-ness, but what exactly is back-building?Backbuilding can occur in a number of different scenarios such as the dryline "zippering" with a sagging cold front, but in this situation a stationary cell not associated with a front the storm likely produced a strong outflow boundary that propagated west due to a downburst. This fired new cells since southerly flow was in place at the surface and that brought moist inflow into the new perturbations. As these cells fired, they followed a similar path as the one before itdue to the consistent upper level steering currents. Keep in mind that once rain hits the ground, the wind(downburst) spreads out in all directions. This is where the outflow boundary developed from that produced the new cells and when it collided with the southerly surface flow, things exploded again. Here is a graphic that does a pretty good job of explaining it. I hope that helps explain and welcome to the board!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF0602 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Anything that fires in the NE portion of South Carolina has the ability to go bonkers, there is a pocket of 6000 sb cape per mesoanalysis that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Had a whopping 0.05" last night from stratiform rain after the storm fell apart. Things are firing up early today in Oconee County and along the SC/NC border so maybe today will be my day to get something decent. HRRR and Hi-Res NAM both look pretty blah for mby though.

downeastnc Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 NAM 4k and HRRR suggest this afternoon and evening will play out very similar to last night in NC so expect to see slow moving storm clusters earlier out west and later in the central and eastern parts of the state.....also I would think if anything fires along the SC coast they will quickly go severe...parameters there are insanely high...Dcape is high again today and PWATS are really high so wet downburst will be likely with any storm...

We finally got some rain last night. Probably ended up between .5-1.0". The lightening intensity was on the decline when they fired over my house, but it was nice to get some rain. The leaves on my dogwoods and redbuds were starting to wilt. The river birches have dropped a ton of leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
