JoshM Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Seeing models showing 40-50mph+ gusts tomorrow and a pretty stout line of storms coming thru. Might not be a big deal, but put yours obs. here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have a feeling there will be some unexpected power outages today. 40-50 mph gusts and there are many trees that are leaning on other trees and power lines from last weeks ice storm.

LIke the spot on highway 98 between Wake Forest and Durham where there are trees leaning over the road from the severe weather event we had in January. It's been two months and the DOT still have not taken down trees that are leaning on other trees over the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 High wind warning for my area with gusts up to 65mph possible. Things should get interesting tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If we can get some clearing and heating ahead of the cold front in TN then that should allow storms to form and organize. But right now radar looks pretty lackluster. http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/southeast_loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 RAH 10:30AM update... THE BIGGEST CONCERN TODAY WILL BE WINDS AHEAD OF AND BEHIND THEFRONT. INCREASED MIXING THIS AFTERNOON MAY ALLOW SOME OF THE 35-40KT WIND BETWEEN 925MB AND 850MB TO REACH THE SURFACE...ESPECIALLYWITHIN SHOWERS/STORMS ALONG THE FRONT. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILLCOME BEHIND THE FRONT WITH 10-12MB PRESSURE RISES (6HR) ASSOCIATEDWITH THE DEEPENING 980MB LOW OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC. THERE IS SOMEINHERENT UNCERTAINTY REGARDING NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION LIMITINGWINDS...BUT THE STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND SUBSIDENCESHOULD AID IN GETTING 40-45KT DOWN TO THE SURFACE IN WHAT WILL BE AMOSTLY WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER. THUS THE WIND ADVISORY APPEARS TOBE WELL TIMED. That's some serious wind - especially for those areas affected by the ice storm. Ground is still pretty saturated, too.

I'm actually hoping it will bring down some hanging branches and those that are just lying across other branches. Better now than when I am riding underneath them on my mower.

Solak Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mountains really broke up that line of showers/storms. Been cloudy all day, mid 60's instead of 77; breezy at times. Looks like all we're going to get is a wind shift tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 73 degrees and the line of "storms" are almost here. Gusting really good already and it won't take much for strong winds to mix to the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 GSP mentions isolated tornadoes possible in NC piedmont and east! I guess the Triad area and west are seeing sun now.

Yep, the sun has been peeking out the past hour or two. That line is really starting to crank it up. It could get interesting here within an hour or so.

FLweather Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Showers and storms starting to build to the west of me. Looks like they're moving at a pretty good clip. Yeah that line is getting better organized once it crossed the mountains and last few frames on radar. The clouds have really kept it cool so to say here in most of NC. If it wasn't for the clouds this line would already be alot stronger. http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.php?rid=FCX&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnc910 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 i spoke to soon... front has passed the mountains and storms are starting to fire just east of them... and moving se.. we should see radar start to lite up in the next couple hours...
