Just for kicks, would there even be an analog for a system overcoming this much entrenched dry air given the light qpf over the piedmont? I cant see how that would happen. It would have to moisten the layers for hours on end and by then the storm would be exiting. I'm amazed anything made it down in Concord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
