jshetley Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I don't like the trajectory of these storms. Looks like they are getting pulled N and E by Bills remnants and not building that far S or W? I'm gonna say S of 85 stays dry and Shetleys house gets that precious 1/2 inch he's always talking about! We already have .20 of rain today from 2 small showers.

I dunno I would be pretty excited if I lived where you do based on the radar loop I am watching, the upstate currently looks primed to get at least some rain....a for some a lot of rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping I can pick up a quick half inch before the weather turns even more miserable next week. That line of convection is flying though so it may be tough.

downeastnc Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Here we got 4000 scape, 3000 mcape, 1100 dcape, LI is -7/-8, the last few days have been similar but all our action has been after 9pm so we haven't really been able to tap this extreme instability and today looks to be the same.......if we could get something to trigger the storms right now they would be epic.....

sparklecity Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What a joke. The line splits has soon as it gets to me and I get about 30 seconds of heavy rain. I really think mby is cursed or something. This happens way to often. As soon as I saw that cell fire out ahead of the line I knew exactly what was going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 We ended up with .33 for the day here, but still can not get a direct hit from any real storms. Places less than 5 miles away have gotten around .75 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I cant seem to get one in the afternoon when I really need it, its always later at night and I am sure we will see some lines move through at 10-11 tonight but dammit I wanna chill on the porch and drink some brews during a storm at a decent hr like 6-8 lol.

I like the night ones. About 6-7 years ago, there was a storm just south of us. It was late June, around 10:00 pm. The lightening was the most prolific I have ever seen. We turned all the lights in the house off and raised all of the blinds. You would have been able to read a book. The lightening was continuous and so amazingly bright. I'll never forget that. It must have been something, being underneath that storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thunder is back. I assume the storms would be stronger if they fired up before the sun went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had that last night for 30 mins it was like living in a strobe light, but to me the best is the leading edge of that shelf cloud coming in around 5pm and then getting a kick ass storm and then being able to see the sun set on the back of the thunderhead as it moves east... I once saw a storm with tons of lightning in the top of it on the horizon and looked on radar and it was just offshore of Hatteras which is exactly 100 miles east of me...its cool to see those on days where they are really isolated and far off as the sun sets and the tops flicker....

That sounds awesome. It's amazing sometimes how far away storms are that seem much closer. Maybe one day, we can sit on the porch and watch one. I drag the wife out when I know one is coming. She's like "meh". Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha over the years my wife has gotten pretty cool about it and now she sends me cloud pics if there is a tower going up near her at work etc......and she is totally about sitting on the porch drinking a beer during a storm....it took 15 yrs to get to this point though.

featherwx Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Maybe it's my imagination, but looking at the radar trends over the past 30 minutes to an hour it appears as though the cells over the mountains and Piedmont of NC jumped north pretty quickly and in some ways became less organized, rather than continuing to move on a more easterly, squall-like trajectory like they had been. Does anyone know why this might be? (I'm looking at you downeast!) Edit: I also noticed the storms on the coastal plain seemed to diminish fairly quickly as well.
