Arctic April

Keep a close eye on the tail end of this bowing segment in southern Granville County, you can sometimes get brief spin-up tornadoes &/or gustnadoes where there’s a lot of horizontal shear created by differential flow speeds in close juxtaposition to the cold pool of a strong thunderstorm.

KRAX picking up on winds of over 70 mph entering western Franklin county about 1000 feet off the surface. Wouldn’t take much to mix those to the ground

Obviously it’s out there around day 10 (and the gfs) but I would keep an eye out for another severe weather event next weekend.View attachment 38722

Hopefully this is the patter we’re hesding toward. So ready for a good chase. Been working so much have t had time to post much lately. Sorry . But I’m getting stoked at pattern after brief cool spell
 
Crazy! A huge gust of wind blew and every single person on my street's recycling bin fell over! Trash flew all over the street and into yards in which everybody went out to pick it up. Our next-door neighbor's umbrella flew off her table in onto our yard. Keep in mind that we have a tall fence and yards are far apart. I'm guessing these were 50-60 mph winds, yet there was no rain out. Although it was nice to see some other people's faces.

Edit: I just checked the readings at the airport and gusts were at 58 mph

holy hell most intense drive of my life ! The shelf on this storm was intense ! It chased me from Louisburg to zebulon ! Man those backroads with that wind is scaryyyyyyy .

My car is plastered with debris ! One point wind blew me a lane over jsut bout . -------- !
 
That storm that came through here was a big one. Heavy rain, hail, and lots of wind. Blew over my recycling bin and threw stuff everywhere. Had a large limb fall in my backyard. I saw on Facebook where a pine tree was blown down in someone's yard in town.
 
Very good call by myself complete dud for north/west NC currently. I see those near Raleigh saw one or two. Looks like they missed the severe watch should not have been issued for Wilkes but instead for Wake.

In regards to the MCS developing to our northwest the SPC is being pretty blunt about the threat up there.View attachment 38724

Meh I have another unpopular opinion that will prob end up correct. The Kentucky/WV/VA is already worked over so I bet they fizzle down entering the dry NC hills. But the Sunday/Monday threat looks better.
 
Tornado watch issued for much of western and central Tennessee until 2:00 AM CDT. Large hail and strong winds are also possible/expectedEB81664E-25DC-4BCD-B215-7AC422FD5144.jpeg
 
Nice wind spike at my house, core of the storm missed me south but keep in mind my station is only 5 feet off the ground. Sustained at 17 gusting to 33 at 5 feet is pretty solid. Winds were likely gusting 40-45 at the 10m standard elevation the NWS recommends.

Nice storm. Pretty excessive lightening, some gusty winds, and a period of heavy rain. Not bad for April 8.
