metalicwx366 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Had a very fast moving storm come thru about 30 minutes ago. No lightning but had 30 to 40 mph winds with intense rain. picked up .48" in about 15 minutes. Sun is back out.That storm has a Severe Thunderstorm warning on it now.

Brick Tamland Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Had some rain come through. Maybe it will create more instability once it clears and if the sun can come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 DISCUSSION...AS A LARGE-SCALE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES THE ERN U.S. FROM THE W...FORCING FOR ASCENT IS LIKEWISE INCREASING ACROSS THE MCD AREA. THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS UNDERWAY WITHIN A NARROW WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT FROM THE W. THIS AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY SFC TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER FROM EARLIER CONVECTION SHOULD ALLOW FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS OF DESTABILIZATION...AND MLCAPE HAS GENERALLY INCREASED TO 500-1000 J/KG GIVEN POOR MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAINING OVER THE REGION. ACROSS NRN NC AND S-CNTRL/SERN VA...LOW-LEVEL WINDS HAVE MOSTLY VEERED TO THE SW...AND ARE NOW GENERALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL WITH HEIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THIS REGION MAY BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ISOLATED INSTANCES OF STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...MAINLY OWING TO STEEPENING LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND CONVECTIVE DOWNDRAFT PROCESSES. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR VALUES AROUND 35-45 KT SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. ACROSS THE SRN DELMARVA PENINSULA...LOW-LEVEL WINDS REMAIN GENERALLY FROM THE SE IN THE VICINITY OF A SFC WARM FRONT...AND A VEERING/STRENGTHENING WIND FIELD WITH HEIGHT PER RECENT KDOX VWP SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A SHORT-TERM ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT ACROSS THIS AREA IN ADDITION TO SOME WIND THREAT. HOWEVER...THE MARGINAL THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY POOR MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 6 DEG C/KM WILL LIKELY LIMIT UPDRAFT STRENGTH AND THE RESULTING SEVERE THREAT OVER BOTH OF THESE REGIONS. THEREFORE...WW ISSUANCE REMAINS UNLIKELY THOUGH THE AFTERNOON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 2 sprinkles here so far ---- .02" in the gauge. Just enough wetness to clog up the mower if I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Although I wouldn't mind a nice thunderstorm, I would happily settle for some nice rain. Not looking good right now. Everything to the northwest moving northeast. Nothing to the southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Cloudy with on and off light rain now. Dew point has dropped down to 69. Temp is at 77. Looks like our chance for severe weather has dropped to not much of a chance now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWeather Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Wow, total fail on the rain in south Cary. In fact, we've missed almost every storm over the last month. Watching them endlessly sail north and south is getting very frustrating. Less than 1" since late July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
