nrgjeff Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Feisty kinematics should meet a developing warm sector complete with Td>70F. Upper winds are good and the LLJ is really screaming. Nate was a 5% day too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 14 minutes ago, Cold Rain said: Why? Right lol....if anything the SPC update was a bit more bullish...especially RDU to the east were filtered sun and temps in the upper 70's to low 80's is occurring..... Regional 12z soundings and radar/satellite imagery show a widespread band of clouds/rainfall preceding the cold front, where surface heating will be limited and lapse rates will remain rather poor. Still, the rich low-level moisture (boundary-layer dewpoints of 68-72 F) will contribute to weak surface-based buoyancy into the western Carolinas (SBCAPE 250-500 J/kg), and somewhat greater buoyancy into SC (1000-1500 J/kg). At the same time, low-level shear will become quite strong (0-1 km SRH of 250-500 m2/s2), which will support strengthening of convection in a band with some breaks along the front this afternoon from eastern GA into the western and central Carolinas. Embedded supercells and LEWP structures will be capable of producing a few tornadoes and damaging gusts, likely beginning by 18-20z in the vicinity of the Savannah River, and then spreading eastward-northeastward through this evening.

calculus1 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yes, lots of damage in Northlakes, just across Lake Hickory in Caldwell County. Power out for quarter of Catawba County. Friend in Northlakes has tree on house. Not sure if straight line or tornadic winds. I'm in Raleigh, so didn't get to witness any of it.Sent from my Alcatel 6055U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
