shaggy Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Sounds like there are going to be 2 confirmed tornados. One in Wendell and one in zebulon. Video of the tornado in Tyrell county is awaiting confirmation and a potential tornado in greene county northwest of snow hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 ...NWS DAMAGE SURVEY FOR 05/13/19 EASTERN WAKE / WESTERN NASH COUNTY TORNADO EVENT... .EF-2 Tornado confirmed near Knightdale to Bailey North Carolina... Start Location...4 miles NE of Knightdale End Location...4 miles NNW of Bailey Date...May 13, 2019 Estimated Time...10:13 AM EDT - 10:39 AM EDT Maximum EF- Scale Rating...EF-2 Estimated Maximum Wind Speed...115 mph Maximum Path Width...385 yards Path Length...17.40 miles Beginning Lat/Lon...35.8275/-78.4399 Ending Lat/Lon...35.8288/-78.1371 * Fatalities...0 * Injuries...0 ...Summary... The tornado initially touched down just west of Rolesville Road near Tink's Place in eastern Wake County. The tornado initially produced widespread EF-1 damage with sporadic EF-2 damage noted on Weathers Road. Along the path to Weathers Road, numerous trees were either uprooted or snapped and mangled together, consistent with EF-1 damage. At Weathers Road, structural damage was noted as a single family home had its exterior walls collapsed. Several metal farm buildings were also completely destroyed and strewn about a field. Sheet metal was wrapped around a nearby tree. An RV was flipped over numerous times landing crushed in an open field. In addition, another home had the windows blown out with roof damage. It was in this area that EF-2 damage was determined. The tornado continued tracking east and crossed Edgemont Road just north of HWY 264/64, then crossing HWY 264/64 where numerous trees were downed and snapped. Generally EF-1 damage was noted here. The tornado then moved east into Zebulon along and near Highway 97 (West Gannon Avenue) where numerous trees snapped and uprooted. It continued east of Zebulon, crossing HWY 264/64 again, and going just north of the Five County Stadium. Generally EF-0 and EF-1 damage was noted here. The tornado then crossed into Nash County, where damage was observed on Brantley Road. Most of the damage consisted of trees being snapped and uprooted, with structural damage to an open-air farm outhouse. Just east on Massey Road, one newly constructed home suffered roof damage, with roof trusses severely damaged. Shingles had not been completed on the home yet, therefore this damage was considered EF-1 level. Also on Massey Road, a modular home suffered roof and wall damage, while two farm outhouses were severely damaged. The tornado then tracked east along Nade Road causing more uprooted and snapped trees. A home along Nade Road also lost its chimney with a cinderblock outhouse suffering complete roof failure. Finally, the tornado began to weaken as it crossed the woods east of Hoyt Road, and it eventually lifted just east of Winters Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 So does that mean they determined it was just one tornado instead of two. I heard Wendell and zebulon? Also confirmed one for Stanley county from the may 11th storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I am a little late in posting these but I chased the second supercell on the 13th behind the one that produced the Zebulon Tornado and encountered the edge of the hail core after taking the pics. The pics following the storm photos are of Zebulon tornado damage in the vicinity of where the NWS classified it as EF-2. Some cleanup was ongoing as the damage photos are from 2 days after the storm. These images are at facebook resolution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 My car and home roof was destroyed in the Willow Spring hail storm back on September 1, 2017. So when that hail storm started coming this way, I was having flashbacks. Fortunately, my area only got pea sized/marble sized this time. But I saw the worst went toward the Garner/Cleveland area. That size hail for this general area twice in less than two years is pretty remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Not in our area, but this is pretty crazy for the TX/OK area later today... Quote Effective SRH 300-500 J/kg should develop -- locally higher, especially near the warm front. Some areas will experience a rare combination of 3000+ MLCAPE and 400+ J/kg effective SRH. The parameter space over much of the region today will support a threat of violent tornadoes, and the likelihood of multiple significant (EF2+ events).

Today's doesnt jive with my concert going plans for tonight in Raleigh. It's not like this is a quick drive for me so do I drive the 1.5 hours and hope for the best or drive there and sit in my car because of lightning? I could see them possibly bumping this up to enhanced on the next advisory as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Looks like a severe thunderstorm watch will be coming soon. Guess we'll have to see if we actually get anything severe with a watch this time, or if the streak of having more severe weather around here without a watch continues. Mesoscale Discussion 0909 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1107 AM CDT Fri May 31 2019 Areas affected...western portions of VA/NC and the VA/NC Piedmont Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 311607Z - 311800Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm development is forecast over the next 1-2 hours (12pm-2pm EDT) near the higher terrain over western NC and western/southwestern VA. Isolated storms may also develop over the Piedmont by 2pm EDT. DISCUSSION...Late morning water vapor imagery loop shows a mid-level shortwave trough over KY/TN and this feature is forecast to reach the southern Appalachians by mid afternoon. Visible satellite imagery shows a swelling cumulus field over the southern Appalachians immediately east of the eastward-migrating disturbance. Surface observations indicate temperatures have warmed to near 80 degrees F near the mountains and into the middle 80s over the NC Piedmont. Low-level moisture increases from west to east across NC with surface dewpoints near 60 degrees F in the west, low-middle 60s over the Piedmont, and upper 60s to near 70 in the coastal plain. Reflective of the low-level moisture field, buoyancy is forecast to be highest near and east of I-95 with 2000-2500 J/kg MLCAPE expected by late afternoon with steep 0-3km lapse rates. Strong heating will contribute to 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE farther west near the I-77 corridor by early afternoon. A belt of 30-35kt westerly 500mb flow will act to organize updrafts this afternoon beneath 60-80kt upper-level westerly flow. Despite weak low-level flow, elongated hodographs will favor the potential for splitting supercells and severe multicells capable of large hail and severe gusts (60mph). The propensity for wind damage will likely increase coincident with richer low-level moisture as storms move/grow upscale from west-central into east-central portions of NC later this afternoon into the early evening.

kvegas-wx Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I was hoping these storms would set up just east of the Triad as often happens. Not today. Some good looking cells kicking off just east of the mountains and I have a warning here in Stuart already today. Could be a hail damage kinda day!
