Man, most intense hail I have ever been through !!!! Not biggest size wise, but pea to marble sized , and for about 5 minutes, it sounded like the roof was gonna cave in!!!! But the hail core really became pronounced right over my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool better marble than baseball lol, that's a large hail core too so its covering a lot of ground.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarmNose Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Intense Storm just passed over my house about 10 mins ago. Local mets said this would be out of here before 10pm but the worst of the day came after midnight when everyone was asleep. Not good. Haven't looked at the dynamics of what came overhead but one would think that had some rotation somewhere in it. Overall 10/10 storm! Made me feel really small in the scheme of things. Good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarmNose Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 That felt stronger than the storm that produced the EF1 tornado here several months ago. Would be suprised if we didn't have some straight line wind damage out there somewhere. Reminded me a lot of the microburst that came through Laurens county 8 or so years ago.

downeastnc Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Looks like if we are going to get anything severe here in eastern NC in the morning it will be from the "line" or cluster of storms in central SC, local NWS offices still saying they expect severe storms to fire after dawn alongand east of I 95 in eastern NC I guess we shall see.

downeastnc Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Mesoscale Discussion 0458 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0459 AM CDT Thu Apr 06 2017 Areas affected...Parts of central and eastern North Carolina into central and eastern Virginia Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 060959Z - 061130Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Severe risk will gradually increase across central and eastern portions of North Carolina and Virginia over the next few hours, which may require watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows some increase in both coverage and intensity of convection across central North Carolina. This is occurring in response to strengthening ascent pivoting north-northeastward across the Carolinas and Virginia as mid-level short-wave troughing has rounded the base of the Midwestern low and is now shifting rapidly toward the mid-Atlantic region. The boundary-layer airmass across the NC/VA area remains cool/saturated and slightly stable, with temperatures and dewpoints in the upper 50s to low 60s. However, with focused ascent near and just ahead of the surface front yielding gradual cooling aloft, steady weakening of the low-level inversion is expected to result in near moist-adiabatic low-level profiles -- i.e. sufficient for storms to eventually become at least near surface-based. Above the lower troposphere, mid-level cooling continues to gradually steepen lapse rates, with the overall effect trending toward a thermodynamic environment sufficient for vigorous storms. Presuming storms can become near surface-based, severe risk -- including potential for a tornado or two -- will become increasingly likely, as currently observed southeasterly surface winds veer and increase rapidly with height, supportive of updraft rotation. While the degree of risk remains a bit conditional/uncertain due to the currently stable boundary layer, risk appears great enough to warrant consideration of watch issuance over the next 1-2 hours.

Brick Tamland Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I guess the timing was off and it took a while to get the storms here. Surprised to see a severe threat here this time of day. Usually we have a full day of clearing skies and some sun to fire up things in the evening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have clear skies to my west so might even squeeze a little sun in before the "line" back west works its way into the area..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveVa Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Northern tip of the rain mass will past just south of me and I see what seems to be partial clearing coming from the west before the main line. Doesn't look so bad but I'm far from sold for this threat. Couple of school districts around Tidewater closed for the day, I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

Brick Tamland Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Still seems the threat here turned out to be less of a big deal than what RAH and WRAL made it out to be yesterday. They both sounded confident of numerous storms and a few tornadoes here. I think we got lucky with the timing. Might be worse if we had these conditions in the afternoon with some clearing and sun beforehand to add the spark we need to fire things up.

LithiaWx Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yesterday was pretty epic. That was the stormiest day in Atlanta in a very long time. Here in the west metro we got about four separate rounds of severe weather move through. It was storming from 8:30 am until about 11:30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTracker Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The storm that came through the Anderson area shortly after midnight last night was one of the strongest storms I've ever been in. Tons of trees down with roads blocked on the way to work this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 There should be a few lessons learned from this event. You had severe weather experts in here yesterday which I know many of us Southerners appreciated. What I didn't like was the belittling attitude from some when there was an early suggestion that the atmosphere was going to remain stable over N. GA. We live here and know our weather better than ANY experts from another subforum. The wedge prevailed again.... It's actually a little amazing that this feature which controls so much of our weather is not understood by very knowledgeable severe weather folks. This is not slight against them. Again, they were and are appreciated as they bring lots of good posts to the table. It is what it is but the lesson here should be, be humble there is always lots to learn. The minute you think you know it all is the minute you will get humbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
