Nope. Don't ask me why, but I have a feeling that Sunday may turn out to be rough if timing is right. 40-50KTS of shear

is hard to ignore

 

It may end up that way but the evening models are not too excited about it for my neck of the woods right now.

It never works out! It'll be coming through in the early morning, and the line ignites in Gaffney. We are barely in the slight risk for Sunday. Then dry for 7-10 days.

This is true  :lol:    

 

I'm not expecting much imby, but those to my north/northeast should be in a much better environment   ;)

Need a lot of things to go just right for severe on Sunday. Morning to midday rain could be a mess in Virginia with the lead short-wave / left front (exit) quad of the speed max. Big question is whether some clearing can occur between waves for North Carolina. One would look for lift in the right rear (entrance) of the speed max to rescue the afternoon. That is tough in the Plains, and I would say it is a long shot back East.

 

However, some things are going in favor should the above pan out. Sunday an outflow boundary may be near the NC/VA border. Apps lee tough will be a focus well ahead of the cold front, a much better mechanism than a cold front. Above outflow boundary should intersect with the lee trough. Chasers would look there. It is a low probability deal in my opinion, but at least a chase target exists if someone wants to try.

Looks like we are going the opposite way from what folks were thinking yesterday. Mike Maze at WRAL said we might be in the moderate risk tomorrow, and now we are barely in the enhanced risk. Seems whenever there is talk of severe weather more than 24 hours out the last two to three years it ends up being nothing.

There hasn't been any mention of a moderate risk, as far as I know. We were barely in the enhanced risk area yesterday an the day before as well.

The moderate talk was just that talk, and the enhanced area isnt that much different, there is a lot of factors as usual in play for us tomorrow.

Maze said that yesterday. Of course things can change. Just seems since we had the last big tornado outbreak in 2011 that whenever there is talk of a severe risk more than 24 hours out it usually ends up not doing much here, but we end up getting some good storms when there isn't much talk at all. Looks like a big batch of storms out west to Charlotte and the Triad are headed this way, though. So, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Two questions.

 

1. Hey, has anyone else noticed that the little location listing is no longer there underneath the poster pictures?

 

2. What the heck happened to Frank Strait over at Accuweather?  His last post appears to have been on April 16th.

1. Everything is turned off......they are trying to repair the board  :yikes:

 

2. No clue because I don't frequent Accuweather  :P   ;)

Eastern NC already over 3000 cape at surface and 2000 mcape....LI-6, temp is 85 with a 75 DP the air is primed for sure.....question is now the timing and how many discrete supercells fire out in front of the "line" of storms expected after 5pm....if we do get a lot of storms out in front they might be the main show and should have the best chance of popping of tornado....

 

edit: the one thing that might make this a less severe event would be that is is so unstable we end up with a lot of unorganized trashy mess that choke out each other and prevent anything more organized forming....if that happens then the best shot at severe type stuff will be the "line" the models have crossing between 5-10pm tonight.

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING... WITHA PRIMARY THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OVER 60 MPH. LARGE HAIL OFONE AND A HALF INCH DIAMETER IS ALSO POSSIBLE. VERY HEAVY RAINFALLAND FREQUENT LIGHTNING CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED.

91 over 72 right now.....air is primed the next 2-3 hrs will be rough for some folks if the stuff down south can get moving, otherwise we wait for the "line" that is forming up out in the Triad but it will be later so it wont be during peak heating, if that energy was crossing central and eastern NC right now it would be bad.

I don't know why, but it feels like it's going to be a bust on the whole severe weather thing.

It's been that way more often than not around our area ever since the outbreak in 2011. For some reason whenever there is talk of severe weather more than 24 hours out, we usually end up not getting anything severe, and often no storm at all. Then we get pretty good storms when there is hardly any talk of anything severe.

Maybe this will be different, though. Starting to get dark here and looks like a storm might be brewing.

The radar indicates some activity inbound, but it is a mess and looks to be below severe limits. So sign of any squall line forming.
