Lookout Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Just got the power back on after getting blasted. Number of trees down or damaged around the area after easily 50 to 60 mph winds and white out conditions. Was a bit nerve racking for a while. Not surprisingly ffc didnt issue a warning when it damn well should have...meanwhile gsp was on the ball as usual and smartly issued a warning for elbert county. Picked up another inch of rain.

Chinook Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Here is a map of the storm reports, up to 647pm eastern. There is one report of 3 waterspouts. Obviously this is a notable severe weather day for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 When that storm came through Kernersville earlier today the wind was strong enough to blow the rain bands out ahead of the storm. It was raining sideways with the sun still out for about a minute. Havent seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 That's quite a gust!!! ...NWS DAMAGE SURVEY FOR THE NASH COUNTY THUNDERSTORM WIND EVENT... .An NWS survey team has determined that straight-line winds were the primary cause of extensive tree and minor structural damage to the North Carolina Wesleyan College Sports complex on April 20th... Location...2 SSW Battleboro in Nash County, North Carolina Date...June 20th, 2019 Estimated Time...4:20 PM EDT Estimated Maximum Wind Speed...85-95 mph Maximum Path Width...650 yards Path Length...0.4 miles Beginning Lat/Lon...36.01/-77.78 Ending Lat/Lon...36.01/-77.78 * Fatalities...0 * Injuries...0 ...Summary... Strong, straight-line thunderstorm winds from a microburst impacted areas near the intersection of Thomas A Betts Parkway and Bishop Road. Upon impact, 85 to 95 mph winds quickly spread in a fan-like pattern primarily northeast of the original impact point. Damage from the wind gusts ranged from nearly 100 uprooted and snapped pine trees and minor structural damage to the sport complex outbuildings. This includes the total loss of an anchored steel score board, significant damage to a cinder block dugout which included a primary wall collapse, and the uplift, transport, and destruction of a viewing tower near the Football complex. Minor damage to fencing and other temporary structures was also common place, with little to no damage present to nearby sturdy buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Looks like we'll get some fairly potent MCS action over the next 24 hours.The HRRR has the first arriving overnight with two more crossing Saturday afternoon. Damaging winds the big issue most likely,they are really flying moving SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 < Previous MD Mesoscale Discussion 1186 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0902 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019 Areas affected...eastern TN into western NC...SC...northern GA...central AL and northeast MS Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 220202Z - 220400Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Damaging wind potential will likely persist into the overnight hours and a downstream severe thunderstorm watch is likely to the south/southeast of WW 419. DISCUSSION...A bow echo continues to shift east/southeast across KY/TN this evening. Western portions of this line continue to weaken as outflow surges southward ahead of the line into northern MS. It remains unclear how far south and east the bow echo will continue, however, a strong cold pool remains in the wake of the line and ample MLCAPE remains southeast of the line from middle/eastern TN into AL/GA before decreasing toward the western Carolinas. The latest VWP from OHX does indicate some weakening of the rear-inflow jet compared to 1-2 hours ago, but still showing 50-60 kt between 1-3 km ARL. The most recent measured gusts have generally been between 40-50 kt with many reports of trees down and other damage. Given a favorable downstream environment where strong instability and a very moist boundary layer persists beneath steep midlevel lapse rates and modestly increasing deep layer shear overnight, some threat for damaging wind is expected to extend into parts of northern/central AL into northern GA and perhaps the western Carolinas and a watch likely will be needed for at least some portions of the MCD area in the next 1-2 hours.

Next one is on its way, I’ve just missed the bad leading edge last night and this morning where I am working in Indiana. Same areas taking a beating 12 hours apart and they didn’t need any more heavy rain up here with the local flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got nailed by that line around 4am. Trees and power lines downed across the midlands of SC. Second severe thunderstorm event in less than 48 hours with more in the forecast. Pretty unusual for late June down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 1 hour ago, scwxfan said: Enhanced??? We got slammed last night with only a slight probability. Even though the worst of the storms just missed here, still got hit pretty hard with 40 mph gusts and about 0.35 of rain in a few minutes time. Wasn't as strong as the other day but happening at night makes it seem worse. Considering the daytime heating being added to the mix as opposed to getting hit at 2 in the morning, would expect it could get quite breezy with some of these. I always worry about storms coming in from the north or northwest here since there is a lot of open space in that direction which allows the wind to get quite high.
