NRVwxfan. Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Getting absolutely pounded right now. 60mph gusts with heavy rain and a little hail. These thing just came out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRVwxfan. Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 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. We got a full blown severe thunderstorm with no warning issued here. It goes the other way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Lots of tree damage near Boone on the blue ridge parkway. Lots of wilkesbro area out of power as well. Going to Boone tomorrow to see damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I heard the Boone area got hit very hard yesterday. Some are saying it was a Tornado. Our local airport reported a wind gust of 58 mph. Lots of limbs down but did not see or hear of any trees being down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 not sure if this will go through or not but about to go into day5 with no power.worse than being banned.ill upload a picture of a possible tornado out ahead of the straight line winds once the power comes on.power polls,shingles off, and thousands of huge trees down.the power was constantly blinking as the storm hit west in Boone which gave plenty of lead time to shelter in the basement.it was very eery.got people from Alabama, Maryland and eastern NC here helping.side roads still dangerous.some are comparing to Hugo if not worse.myfox8 is 5mins up the road but I haven't showered in days or I would go talk to them and be on TV. they opened up shelters.lots live in trailers and it's hot inside plus some rooms don't have Windows for light.had to throw all food away.no bags of ice anywhere. if the power gets returned the phone lines and Internet could take additional days if not weeks.all the hotels are booked.

NWNC2015 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 While no "official" tornado...there was rotation embedded out ahead of the line with significant and rapid lowering of the cloud. It was coming down so fast I really think it reached the tree tops but due to the straight line winds coming towards my back in this picture...I will never know. Everyone in the neighborhood were already outside watching this spin due to the power flashes well in advanced. Attention turned away from this when debris in the air started flying behind us with the straight line winds. When the two features merged the bottom literally fell out. BIG time train sound...gusts around 80mph I would estimate. My call to the NWS for funnel cloud embedded in the line would not go through in the basement. As a skywarn spotter and several online met courses passed, I'm pretty sure in what I saw. Definite spin unlike scud clouds that move in one direction. Estimate of wind pretty certain as well after years of seeing severe storms with winds usually topping out at 50-60mph tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 There was no rotation in the storm at all. Your photo of the cloud looks like a typical leading edge of a bow echo/squall line. These will typically have rapidly rising cloud tags on the leading edge and will occasionally have small eddies/turbulence embedded that appear to be rotating. All of the damage seen appeared to be straighline winds. For example, notice how all the trees are down in a uniform direction. This is indicative of high wind/non-tornadic damage.

NWNC2015 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 @disc Probably so I know I didn't see rotation in western Wilkes when the power was on. May have been some kind of brief eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Just got hit again about 1 thousand without power on Duke Energy. Not sure about the other companies. Today's storms are more heavy rain makers and lightning compared to severe winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 bad storm came through elkin today wxii12 and fox8 showing some of the damage...windows in cars blew out....roof on vehicles....powerlines down....some of the roads in the center of downtown remain closed. The last week straight line winds last week will have lasting impacts through August. Duke Energy did a lot of temporary fixes it seems when you drive around you still see trees bending on the lines in several spots. - Warrior Creek Campground will be closed until July 14. - Bandit's Roost Campground will be closed until July 20 with the exception of the Group Area which will be closed until August 4. - Dam Site Park will be closed until August 4 with exception of the boat ramp which will remain open. - Berry Mountain Park will be closed until July 26. - Fort Hamby Campground and Park will be closed until August 4. - All trails and the disc golf course will be closed until further notice. These dates are estimates based on initial assessments of damage and the ability to contract repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suncat Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I guess the big question is how Tuesday will play out as compared with Saturday. There's little to no cloud cover over Raleigh, NC so it could get up into the mid-90's later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Given the very wet soil still, this could possible be a less than favorable situation if there are any serious winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 That rain Saturday was unreal. Wonder if the slight chance will play out today. Would be nice to have a storm to cool things down, but the bad thing is we might have the severe part to go with them. With all the rain we have had, we don't need the strong winds becaus eit would just mean trees coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1406 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1245 PM CDT WED JUL 27 2016 AREAS AFFECTED...SERN WV...SWRN/WRN/CNTRL VA...NWRN/CNTRL NC CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY VALID 271745Z - 271945Z PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT SUMMARY...TSTM COVERAGE WILL LIKELY INCREASE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE BUT SVR COVERAGE IS CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO BE TOO LOW TO MERIT A WATCH. DISCUSSION...DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION COUPLED WITH WEAK LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT AND MODEST SURFACE CONVERGENCE IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN INCREASING TSTM COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE POOR /AROUND 6 DEG C PER KM FROM 700 TO 500 MB ON REGIONAL 12Z RAOBS/ BUT AMPLE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND WARM TEMPERATURES ARE STILL SUPPORTING MLCAPE FROM 1500 TO 3000 J/KG BASED ON THE LATEST MESOANALYSIS. MODERATELY ENHANCED MID-LEVEL FLOW EXISTS BETWEEN THE MID-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE CENTERED OFF THE SE COAST AND MORE CYCLONIC FLOW FARTHER N ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE GREAT LAKES AND ERN CANADA. RESULTING ENVIRONMENT IS SUPPORTIVE OF WEAKLY ORGANIZED MULTICELLS AND/OR CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS BUT SOME DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE AS A RESULT OF CELL MERGERS AND PRECIP LOADING. SVR COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN LOW AND A WATCH IS NOT CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED. ..MOSIER/DIAL.. 07/27/2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
