jburns Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I've been watching heavy rain just to my west for several hours. On the move now and headed right at me. Just got a STW for high winds. I just had DirecTV put on my garage roof yesterday. I guess I'll find out if he attached it securely. EDIT: While I was typing that quite a bow popped out with the first appearance of 60db. Shouod be interesting. Another 15 minutes I should be in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Good storm but a bit of a let down. It weakened some just before hitting me. About 50db was the peak. Some nice lightning but the winds definitely underperformed based on the warnings. Still moderate rain but it never got to the gully washer level.

NavarreDon Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Big storms hitting Haywood and Buncombe county right now. Very heavy rain and some pea size hail with lots of cloud to ground lightning. Some high wind also. Was in Asheville at work when these storms came rolling thru. It was pretty intense for a good hour. Alas Weaverville was mostly missed & we ended up with .7" for the storms.

FoothillsNC Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 As I mentioned yesterday, the Carolinas, Va and Ga aren't done. There will probably be some re-development this afternoon somewhere in the best low level moisture and instability axis from East Tn down to GA and especially in the central Carolinas. The cyclonic flow aloft and trough axis holding back west should help anything that forms to push almost due north in NC to VA. Hopefully areas that yet haven't had anything major can get in on the second round later today. Just got in from a busy day. What a wild weather day around here again this afternoon. Driving from upper part to lower part of the county was a disaster with wrecks and more super heavy rain...had to pull over a one point in the afternoon round. I haven't seen this much water in all this county overall since Christmas storm of 2009, we just usually don't get major repeating rains like this. 3 distinct major rounds of storms at my place. Total 3.14". Some places had 5". We need one of these per week for a while (my area could use it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Radar estimates of 13.7 inches of rain about 5 miles south of Vidalia, GA . Vidalia itself only saw about half an inch. Looks to have fallen mainly over rural areas. That's still an insane amount. Then 3 counties south, a record shattering 0.00 fell over Waycross,Ga. They are also seeing a lightning show to the Northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE ERN STATES TODAY WITH A BROAD WARM SECTOR LOCATED FROM THE CNTRL GULF COAST STATES NEWD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE CORRIDOR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. MODEL CONSENSUS PLACES THE GREATEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE FROM NCNTRL NC SWWD INTO ERN GA WHERE MLCAPE VALUES SHOULD REACH THE 2000 TO 2500 J/KG RANGE. IN ADDITION...FORECAST SOUNDINGS AT 21Z THIS AFTERNOON IN COLUMBIA SC AND RALEIGH NC SHOW 25 TO 35 KT OF 0-6 KM SHEAR WITH STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THIS ENVIRONMENT SHOULD SUPPORT A WIND DAMAGE THREAT ESPECIALLY WITH LINE SEGMENTS THAT CAN ORGANIZE AND PERSIST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN AREAS WHERE STORMS HAVE ACCESS TO STRONG INSTABILITY.

Lookout Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Screwed again. In fact, if one looks at the estimated precip totals, I got some of the least amounts there were north of i-20. I've lost count on how many "big rain events" that were predicted that have not panned out here. I got a whopping 0.25 while probably 80% of the state got 0.60 or better while at least half or better got more than an inch. Never mind what has happened in the carolinas. This is really starting to get under my skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ended up with 2.31" IMBY in Dahlonega.

Brick Tamland Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well, looks like the rain will be less today, which is good as far as I'm concerned. I'm tried of it already. But the storms could be more severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 GSP has issued a pretty broad Flash Flood Watch for today. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1100 AM...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA FOR THIS AFTERNOON...AS WELL AS THE SOUTH CAROLINA UPSTATE. A WEAK TROUGH ORIENTED FROM N TO S ACROSS THE SRN APPALACHIANS SHOULD ACTIVATE THIS AFTN AS A WEAK H5 SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. OUR WORKSTATION WRF-ARW SHOWS GOOD COVERAGE OVER THE CENTRAL AND NRN NC MTNS WHICH THEN PUSHES INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND EVENTUALLY THE PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THIS SAME AREA HAS SEEN SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN IN SOME CASES OVER THE PAST THREE DAYS. I DON/T SEE THIS BEING A WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN EVENT...BUT I CAN SEE MULTIPLE AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING AS THE STORMS DEVELOP LATER TODAY. THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE GREATER SEVERE CONVECTIVE THREAT WITH DRY MID LEVELS. ALL OF THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE HWO. http://forecast.weat...ash Flood Watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE ALSO QUITE HIGH TODAY /MID 60S TO NEAR 70F/. THE RESULT WILL BE A LARGE AREA OF MODERATE CAPE VALUES THIS AFTERNOON /MLCAPE OF 1000-2000 J/KG/. LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE WEAK THROUGHOUT THIS REGION...BUT MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW A FEW ORGANIZED MULTICELL CLUSTERS OR TRANSIENT SUPERCELLS. LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH STRONGER STORMS. THE THREAT SHOULD WEAKEN QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creek in the backyard turned into a raging river. Gutters looked like waterfalls from the volume of water. A few miles makes a big difference. I got just under one half inch from those storms last night. They stalled quite a long time over you but were on the move and weakening as they passed over me.
