cbmclean Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago A spectacular cell started falling apart on its way to me, as usual. Still managed 0.42" but places not far north have 1.5"+. Hopefully some more tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is with all these storms hammering greensboro then falling apart as they approach wake co? It has happend numerous times this summer. It's strange. Two items 1. Thunderstorms require a source of lift to form. The western piedmont trough is such a source, which is why many times cell pop-up there first. 2. Thunderstorms are by nature self-limiting as the downdraft from the rain chokes of the convective updraft. There must be some mechanism to separate the downdraft from the updraft for a system to last. One example is shear. In a stagnant dynamic environment, which is very common in this area in late summer, it is common for cells to pop off the piedmont trough but then die quickly without any mechanism to keep them going. That's not the whole story, but it's definitely a major part. Some of it is also just bad luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the outflow coming before the storms were even here and knew we were cooked Yep...I made the same post. It is raining now here in Fuquay-Varina but very light. Not going to amount to much. I just want a solid t storm. Not the stuff they got IN SE greensboro yesterday (it was insane) just 40 mph gusts...lightning ans serious rain. I don't ask for much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
