WeatherNC Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Should be a good bit of warming going on currently in the high risk area per the latest vis shots, sun is making appearances here in Greenville. From MHX's 11:15am update... 12Z KMHX SOUNDING INDICATES CAPPING INVERSION 850-825 MB WHICHWILL LIMIT DEEP CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER AREA INTO EARLY AFTN. FCST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THIS INVERSION WILL ERODE BY MID AFTN AS LOWER LVLS WARM WITH HEATING AND UPR LVLS COOL AS SHRT WV TROF APPROACHES. Going to be interesting to see whether or not legitimate discrete development can get going ahead of the front, given the ongoing clearing. In the absence of, the primary threat will be wind compared to strong tornados. Update: Mostly clear skies under a warm sun, what a difference 15 min makes, been OVC all morning and early afternoon!

Moose4 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I haven't had my ham gear set up and listening to the Weather Service and local Skywarn net in quite a while, but this one prompted me to bring it out. NWS Raleigh just issued a statement that Greensboro has gotten 1.75" of rain out of this line. Severe Thunderstorm Warning up for Chatham County. Strapping everything down here in the Bull City and looking nervously at some of the big trees in the backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the same thing over here. bright sunshine and relentless 40mph gusts hammering the trees. Just took a short walk and it felt like a tropical storm was approaching. With the good timing of this system (for Eastern NC) I think even us coastal folks could get in on the big stuff. Perhaps one of us might even see a bit of hail. We'll see in a few hours...

Indystorm Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 0-1 km helicity is 400-500 as the cells move from the Piedmont to the coastal plain. I have a hunch this line of storms might break up into more discrete supercells as well as a threat from cells forming out in front of the line.
