A few trees down and power lines . Peak power outages were around 16,000 , per local news! Yeah this line meant business. We just got power back here from it. Winds had to be at least 60 MPH here, if not stronger. Only had pea sized hail here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 March 1st I chased the cell that dropped gorilla size hail on Calhoun, GA. From Chattanooga I first considered Dalton along I-75, but the storm became a cluster. Then dropped all the way south to Adairsville, anticipating the core over Calhoun would be a car crusher. Thought about going west on GA Hwy-140 but I was not comfortable with a fast moving storm and FFC radar updating only every 10 min. HTX was totally out too, shocker there LOL. Mid level structure almost looked like the Plains. Waited at I-75 before following east on Hwy-140. Observed a sloppy scuddy horseshoe trying to get a wall cloud on the north end. At about US-411 the cell started to fall apart and was entering unchasable southern Appalachian foothills anyway. No pictures worth sharing. Just felt good to chase!

nrgjeff Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I borrow Gorilla Size Hail from Roger Edwards. Funny stuff! Apparently I should have stayed on the Dalton cell. FFC survey shows a tornado in Chatsworth, which I'm pretty sure came from the same cell. Oh well; it's Dixie Alley chasing... 15 hours ago, jburns said: I've seen my share of big hail but this takes the prize. Dayum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 For Tuesday, 3/21 RAH Severe Potential: Very steep mid-level lapse rates, Spring insolation and seasonable low-level moisture (dewpoints rising into the mid/upper 50s) will yield as much as ~1000 J/kg of MLCAPE late Tue aft/eve, in the presence of deep layer shear sufficient for supercellular organization. With the above in mind, deep convection that develops and/or propagates downstream into central NC Tue aft/eve will have the potential to become severe, with a primary threat of large hail and damaging winds. The threat for severe weather will be greatest (relatively speaking) south of the Highway 64 corridor between 5pm and Midnight. -Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That MCS on the HRRR, looks like it forms a meso-low over the upstate and looks to even form an " eye" about the time it's over CAE!!

griteater Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Had enough hail around 8:00-8:30 to where it was white on the ground in many areas and looked like a "light dusting". Largest was around marble size. That's probably the 2nd most hail I've seen on the ground (most was a storm one spring in the mid 80's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really quite striking. 53 minutes ago, LithiaWx said: Front end gust was worse than the actual rain storm. A very nasty MCS is still headed ESE towards SC. Got nailed hard with wind with the main line. The line got stronger after it past gaineville and I was a bit nervous waiting on it. Ended up with a 53 mph gust....fun but dont like storms like this at night ..wish I could have seen it during the day. ..really surprised power only got knocked out briefly. 160,000 without power currently according to channel 5.
