Cold Rain Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 RAH loves issuing severe thunderstorm warnings...... Just about every county in central NC will be warned. Be interesting to see how many damage reports come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Yeah big fat blanket warning....MHX went with this for us, notice all the warnings stop at the RAH/MHX border...that cell pulsing south into northern Pitt Co might pull a warning if it can get a bit stronger.

Brick Tamland Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just got warned. Hoping for a gust big enough to see a leaf fly by the window. I've had rain and a couple of rumbles of thunder. I swear whenever we have a watch now and anything more than a marginal risk it is the kiss of death here for storms. It's getting as bad as when the models show a big snow storm here.

Cold Rain Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I've had rain and a couple of rumbles of thunder. I swear whenever we have a watch now and anything more than a marginal risk it is the kiss of death here for storms. It's getting as bad as when the models show a big snow storm here. Just a little breeze under mostly cloudy skies for me. The weakest part of the entire line looks to move over my house in a half hour or so. Solak, Are you getting anything?

jburns Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm about to get crushed. I don't see any way of missing this one. Rain rate is nowhere near the storm of the other day but there is more wind and a lot more lightning and thunder. It looks to last longer as well. It's hard to type with four dogs trying to get on my lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snow for you Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Trying to beat the storm here. Grilling steaks and watching lightning not too far away. The storms that make it over the mountains tend to be pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 That is why I really hate night time storms. You miss thier incredible structures. That particular storm is heading my way by the looks of it. Too dark and too tired to really enjoy it however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 about 0.20" with the first warned storm. No wind, no lightning. Waiting to see what the line to the West does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to type with four dogs trying to get on my lap. Pretty much a disappointment rain wise. Only .31". Nice light show though. Nowhere near severe here.

Cold Rain Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I don't understand the severe warnings all the time. There must be only a 2 square mile area of severe activity within a given 30 square mile warning polygon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just warned again. 4 separate warnings in two days. We'll see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I don't understand the severe warnings all the time. There must be only a 2 square mile area of severe activity within a given 30 square mile warning polygon. Didn't they change what constitutes a warning a while back? Or maybe it has something to do with better radar now giving us more warnings than we used to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 When you read or listen to the warnings, most of the time, it'll say "Source: radar indicated". Similar to the tornado warnings that never show anything on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Not a single drop of rain yet. Warning cancelled, of course. At least I had rain and some thunder. But it had been like most of the watches and warnings the past few years, a dud. I think people are going to start to tune out and think it's crying wolf with the way these warnings are issued now because the radar is so advanced now.

Avdave Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 .03 here in SW Wake tonight. Radar looked great but something happened that they weakened considerably and then got strong again to the east. Interesting pattern tonight. Was at the Bulls game and the power did go out for a few mins, then the storm came in and dumped rainfall. Was pretty intense. Game was canceled and we drove home and while the wife was driving got a short vid of the vivid lightning from the storms. It was a heck of a light show like Burns said. Not so sure how to imbed youtube link on here but there is the vid of the lightning https://youtu.be/okFUV3ZRqSc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
