SharonA Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Odd juxtaposition of "CONFIRMED LARGE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO" with "RADAR CONFIRMED TORNADO" with the east-of-Griffin cell. Usually the confirmed-large-etc source is spotter or EMS. Meanwhile it's just gusting and damp in S Forsyth County, for now. Not complaining.

Could be wrong, but I believe when the CC bottoms out in a couplet they will go ahead and tag it with some combination of confirmed, large, extremely dangerous, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 80/69 at noon, though the hi res models still keep that line fairly tame as it moves through after midnight when the STP values go nuts, still models show 1000-1500 cape with STP values 5-6 at that time so its tough to know just what kind of storms will be associated with that line......any decent storm is going to be rotating if it gets semi discrete enough....all it takes is one or two to make it a really bad night.

That basically lets you know that there is debris being lofted and it is on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 SPC just took all of the SE out of enhanced risk..... This is all they are saying about overnight Ongoing QLCS and clusters from western GA into the eastern FL Panhandle will continue to pose a near-term threat for embedded brief tornadoes and damaging winds amid strong low-level shear. Some of this activity (namely the west-central GA) may persist through the afternoon and further develop northeast toward the Carolina Piedmont. A broad downstream cirrus canopy will slow boundary-layer heating and weak mid-level lapse rates will further curtail instability. But the damaging wind/tornado threat should continue amid a 50-60 kt low-level jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, there were some pretty sig tornadoes, but it was nothing like was what was being depicted with the short term modeling yesterday. Especially over LA. (Edit) There was loss of life and property and I am not downplaying that. It just wasn't over LA. It was TX and MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 That was pretty eventful. Sure didn’t go down as I had thought. My mother in law lives in Jenkinsburg near Griffin where the TDS was reported. Not much of anything being reported out of there wrt damage. Thats a spot is super unlucky. They got hit with EF3 on 4/27/11 and from the 1908 Dixie alley outbreak in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Drove threw two tornado warnings on the ride up US 64 from Lake Lure, NC, to Hickory, NC, this afternoon. First was in Rutherford County and second was in either McDowell or Burke County. (Phones alerted us to the warnings.) Rain and wind were intense. But, we never saw any rotation. Had radar up the whole ride to see where we were in location to the warned storm.

LithiaWx Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Talked to my MIL again in Jenkinsburg. She did report some debris falling from that TDS. She made it sound like no big deal but I explained what she had witnessed. She was just off Shiloh road where the TDS was reported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 RAH is pretty bullish on the overnight in their evening HWO and AFD Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible late this evening and into the overnight hours, possibly as late as 3 to 4 AM. The severe weather hazards will include damaging straightline winds, hail to the size of quarters, and an isolated tornadoes. In addition, heavy downpours will lead to extensive ponding of water on the roads, and street flooding in urbanized areas. and .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 810 PM Sunday... The Tornado Watch expired at 800 PM. The current boundary layer over central and eastern NC supports the expected lull in convective activity we are experiencing. The main cold front was pushing east into the Mountains with an associated QLCS. The line of storms extended from Tri Cities Tennessee south to Asheville, moving east at 25-30 mph. It appears that the higher dew points and associated instability will be enough to allow the line to strengthen as it pushes out from the Foothills into the Piedmont in the next few hours. The frontal forcing may very well pose a primary risk of strong to damaging wind gusts and embedded mesovortices/isolated tornadoes as the line affects the Triad region before midnight. We will have to wait and see if another Watch will be needed, but it appears likely (70 percent or so). The line should progress across much of the region overnight, exiting the I-95 corridor well before daybreak. Then, windy and much cooler and less humid for Monday!

downeastnc Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Models still have really high STP and cape values so you got to worry that if there are any semi discrete cells over the next 3-4 hrs that they could quickly spin up....currently 75/70 with the winds starting to kick up some from the south.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
