I'm assuming the bow echo was able to bring down higher winds aloft, has weakened since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Future radar looks nasty in the Triangle between 1 and 3. Wonder if the watch will be extended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Underwhelming seems to be the word associated with the line so far. Hopefully that continues but it is just now entering the enhanced risk area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbart Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Around Columbia SC we had several tornado signatures on radar (3 or 4?) and tornado warnings posted. Storms overperformed a bit in the sever weather dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Line looks weak sauce at the moment. I’d be shocked if the triangle gets stronger winds than we’ve already seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually need some sun to begin with to get any severe storms here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 RDU just gusted to 45. That’s in line with what I’m seeing here. Been several hours of gusts like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Comparing the 9z sounding to current on the HRRR, check out the lift on the left hand side, seems the drizzle was a result of subsidence, stabilizing the atmosphere (even though neither sounding has CAPE) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I was sitting in Walkertown this morning watching the black clouds roll through Winston and down HWY 158 during the tornado warning. Most notably was the tidal wave of rain that hit my windshield all at once. Not sure I can remember a scenario seeing a wall of water coming at me like that. Winds were gusty, but the rain intensity was legit monsoon for about 10 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Line was unimpressive here. Heavy rain and 30-40 gusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Getting more heavy rain now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 These were taken near the intersection of Leesville Rd. and Lynn Rd. in north Raleigh as a tornado warned supercell embedded within a line came through. If a tornado was present it would have been wrapped in the rain shaft you see in the second shot. The first shot shows more of the overall structure and the base of the storm (taken at 12:14pm). The last shot is my position at the time compared to the radar image (Taken at 12:17pm). There was some localized tree damage the intersection of Leesville Rd and Millbrook road that was not present in areas surrounding. If it was from a tornado it would likely be EF-0 damage. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Well ahead of the line here and our peak wind gust was 36 mph. Very windy here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Sun is out now. I think the lack of sun before the storms develop and come through really limits the impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
