Pattern April Chasing ???⛈⛈⛈

[Shaggy]

Nice line downeast right now and most models not real impressed with the line later for central NC..... we shall see but I'm having doubts about too many storms around here now

Had a couple of those very tiny cells pass over me earlier and they werent severe but quite gusty with blinding rain. Heres a pic afte it moved off. The rain shaft was pretty neat looking.

They knew better than to include Wake after seeing the dome over us last week.

Storm south of Shelby has that look where it could produce a somewhat strong-strong downburst sometime

From around May 15 until Sept 20 you could take that shot and storm chase daily from my back yard ... sea breeze front collision zone ...

... awesome pics, BTW!

Must be nice, towering cumulus/cumulonimbus clouds is always a cool sight

Looks like the core is going to come really close to me. I will report back.

Edit: Meh, unimpressive. A few gusts and some decent rain, but that’s about it. The little bitty shower we had earlier was way windier.

 

[Tarheel1]

Not even a shower today! Drought incoming

This wind is something else this evening. Kinda chilly as well.


Have to be getting close or above 40mph gust.

 

[Downeastnc]

Hyde Co sheriff office is reporting tornado damage, though I havent seen anything from MHX on it and I dont recall there being a tornado warning issued on that storm either.

Edit: This video seems to remove all doubt, waterspout that moved onshore I would think....

Looks like we might sneak a few showers in tomorrow evening

These last two PMs in my area were awesome for outdoor activities with low 80s for highs and dewpoints in the 40s to low 50s along with nice breezes. It doesn’t get much better than that in late April! Hopefully we’ll sneak in some more days like this before summer.

Further to the above, today is shaping up to be another still pretty comfy day with only a few degrees warmer but with dewpoints staying well down in the 50s it appears. Also, next weekend may be similarly pleasant to the current one. But with the good comes some bad as watering will be needed again by then.

Spc mentions a possibility for strong tornadoes tomorrow in a 5 percent corridor. I haven’t seen that before. Has there ever been a 5 percent hatched?
