UnionCountyNCWX Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Light to moderate rain in CLT. Temp of 83. Storms fell completely apart approaching the city 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago 19 minutes ago, KrummWx said: Where in these images would the tornado be? Severe wx noob, I got my gf in wesrern Mebane rn The hook shape near Burlington plus the difference in velocities by Burlington. The velocities are inbound/outbound from the radar. (It can't see cross-wise wind). In this case, a somewhat small difference of like 30mph may be an indicator of a tornado, which of course has much stronger winds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Absolutely dumping rain here in Brier creek. Lightning has been very impressive. I think a street light got struck as there was a bright flash driving home near Wake Med hospital in BC. Flash Flood warnings in effect here as well .57" so far this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Just staying on top of us. Up to 1.20" so far. Getting power surges every so often now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Lost power here for ten mins or so with that last hit from the storms. Pretty impressive with the windswept heavy rain and tons of lightning. Looks like we will finish up with 2.57" here. Incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Absolutely one of the worst storms I can remember living in the Raleigh area for most of my 37 years. Powers out for half the neighborhood including the street behind me, we lost power for several short durations, but the wind In the last cell that came through made it sound like a hurricane. It was a ton of lightning at the beginning but all the flashes with the final cell were transformers blowing. There’s a big tree in the power lines one street over and I’m sure there are plenty down in this area. Never saw any hail but it sounded like it was mixed in against the windows. Anyone else go through that final cell and have same experience? I was going to call this a dud besides the rainfall until that came through. Picked up 1.02” here which brings the MTD to a shocking 14.49” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have lost power, however I didn't notice the crazy wind, but am being told by my SO that it was worse than I thought. I also didn't see any hail but definitely super heavy rain. And a crazy amount of lightning with the power going out right near the end. I'm not far from Shelley lake in Raleigh if that helps nail down the area. Where is the tree down at?

Duke street and stonehill have trees down near me. Im close to Millbrook and six forks in the lakemont area. Quiet out now so you can hear all the generators running.

I can hear the cell tower generators running across the lake near lead mine. Based on the little damage I am seeing around here, I definitely think we didn't get as strong winds as you/they did just a half mile/mile east of here. Only small branches and debris on the ground over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted 54 minutes ago Author Share Posted 54 minutes ago It already hit 99.5 at 2:15PM at my place! The highest so far this season that I’ve seen here is 101.1, which was at 2:35PM on July 12th. Winds are from the SW, keeping the seabreeze away. Skies are mostly to partly sunny with an ugly haze. ——————— *Edit: 100.5 at 2:30PM! Since I don’t have RH, I don’t have a heat index. However, based on surrounding stations, it’s likely ~113! ————— *Edit: 100.9 at 2:46PM! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
