CheeselandSkies Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Major impacts ongoing on both the winter and severe sides of this storm system and The "Weather" Channel hasn't had one minute of live weather coverage all afternoon.

Solak Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 274 < Previous MD Mesoscale Discussion 0274 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0731 PM CDT Sun Apr 15 2018 Areas affected...Central VA...Central/Southeast NC...Northeast SC Concerning...Tornado Watch 53...54... Valid 160031Z - 160200Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 53, 54 continues. SUMMARY...Tornado threat continues across Tornado Watches 53 and 54. DISCUSSION...Organized convective line continues to progress eastward into central VA, central NC, and northeast SC. Strong low-level flow exists ahead of the line. Regional VAD profiles have recently sampled 0-1 km bulk shear around 40 to 50 kt and 0-1 km SRH from 300 to 500 m2 per s2. This type of kinematic environment remains supportive of embedded QLCS tornadoes as well as damaging wind gusts. Thermodynamic environment is a little less favorable but enough instability (i.e. MLCAPE greater than 500 J/kg per the latest mesoanalysis) exist to support continued progression of the convective line. The northern extent of the severe threat is constrained by the wedge front draped from eastern WV across north-central VA and into the southern Delmarva Peninsula. The southern extent of the threat extends to the northeast SC/southeast NC coast. ..Mosier.. 04/16/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Line getting nasty again, serious wind just off the ground so if that gets tapped into there should be plenty of wind reports and trees down etc with that line especially from Sanford down the Fayetteville....those small cells firing out in front of the main line have to be moving north at at least 50-60 mph...

Solak Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 New Tor Watch. NWS Newport/MoreheadVerified account @NWSMoreheadCity 37s37 seconds ago A tornado watch has been issued for parts of North Carolina and Virginia until 3 AM EDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SENC Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm under the "gun" now.. I hear thunder in the distance... Winds are "CRANKING" !!!! SUMMARY...A line of strong/severe thunderstorms over central NC will track northeastward across the watch area. Very strong winds just above the surface will promote a risk of damaging wind gusts or brief tornadoes along the leading edge of the squall line. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 35 statute miles east and west of a line from 60 miles northeast of Roanoke Rapids NC to 15 miles south southeast of Jacksonville NC. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
