Not sure if you'll reap the benefits or not, but you called it. Watch issued and radar starting to get interesting.

Lets see what the ofbs do and what happens with the stuff in Central va. Better support is coming but this isn't July so we are racing losing instability this evening

 

[RBR71]

What??!!! Twice in the same week?!

 

[Tarheel17]

Yet another swing and a miss for me. Even missed the 0.6'' right over RDU yesterday. Lawn looking almost as bad as it did back in June.

 

[RBR71]

.52 and now 1.12 this week. Almost doubling my Aug rain 🌧

 

[NCSNOW]

Clouded up. Out flow knocked us from 100 back down to normal sept high temps.

NO Rain, Thunder or lightening.

But don't worry/ power is out. ETR is 11 pm.

 

[RBR71]

Rock-N-Rolling here today 🌩

Lol yeah good thing those storms are racing south.....

Though it does seem like its finally moving south....just in time to fizzle out most likely.

1.32

As you said to me a few months ago, the rich get richer.

 

[NCSNOW]

5 +

5+ hours without power and counting. From what i have no idea. Closes storm was 20 miles away. Good ole Duke power.

 

[SuperNET]

1.32

Congrats - you earned it

 

[SD]

Looks about right

 

[Avalanche]

Worried about losing the heating of the day when opportunity finally arrives.

You can't ask for a much better setup than we have. The old mcv and ofb are going to hold off until after 18z, not much debris ahead, sb cape over 3k already , ml cin eroding. Dcapes over 1100 today, if this starts getting linear and organized it's going to have a heck of an ofb ahead of it and we should get a few higher end wind gusts. Wouldn't be surprised to see it a little similar to last night where the ofb kicks S or even SW while cell motion is to the SE and maybe a little bit of training with a few 3+ inch rain totals

Incoming

 

[GoDuke]

There’s not a chance in hell that line holds together all the way through Rowan county.
It always breaks apart and reforms south of Salisbury.

 

[GoDuke]

And of course TCLT takes a ---- as soon as this line gets close

 

[WFFaithful]

There was lots of strong wind before storm, but I ended up getting less than an 0.1". Power outages and hail were reported in the northern part of the county.

 

[YetAnotherRDUGuy]

Got some fun wind gusts before the line comes through at least. Not sure if will get the good stuff. We'll see.

It really pushed that ofb way out

 

[jeremyt]

Strong line incoming at work at the Cabarrus-Union County line. Strong winds already.

 

[SD]

Pressure dropping and wind veering more south. Prefrontal trough is sharpening up. Come on do something

 

[YetAnotherRDUGuy]

It's legit. Just had a tree branch fall outside my apt taking out part of a gutter.

 

[CaryWx]

Looks like not much for my area coming in. Just a pass thru squall line unless this balloons back.

 

[SD]

I don't like what I'm seeing at all. Crazy that it's 100 degrees and cape to the moon and this is just going to do nothing.

Guess its hoping for some miraculous hail Mary tomorrow. Lol sad

.01” it can’t get anymore absurd. No meaningful rainfall since August 21st and August 6th before that and been fringed over a dozen or more times this year.

I've had 1 rainfall greater than .27 since 7/23. Its crazy how hard its been to get significant rain the past year

So the pre front line was greater than actual event. Fizzled out. Shocker!

Branch no big deal. Just clipped gutter and no roof damage. Not a dead one but not healthy. Probably would have come down soon with a well placed gust or if actually got some ice accrual this winter.

 

[Avalanche]

Heat has dissipated some here with cool NW winds from the storms upstream. Losing confidence for my area

 

[Downeastnc]

 

[Downeastnc]

Got whiffed but the hooky storm to my south....gotta hope one of the ones up near the border can hold up.

 

[Shaggy]

Absolutely epic shelf cloud inbound

 

[RBR71]

Nothing today, hate some others missed out altogether. What a disappointment

 

[Shaggy]

@Avalanche some pretty solid gusts over here in my neighborhood. I'm guessing 40mph. What an epic shelf though

Sharing in the frustration from yesterday’s event—it broke two more 4-inch DBH branches, left a mess, and I barely got 100 raindrops out of it. What I don’t understand is how the Charlotte urban heat island (UHI) wasn't a major factor here. Another user brought up the 'classic split,' which is fine, but how does that actually work in practice? I’m not buying the idea that there wasn't enough atmospheric energy to fuel that incoming line of storms. From what I saw, the line was moving incredibly fast and completely outran the actual front, which might explain some of it. Still, the heat island effect was practically non-existent. I’ve researched this for years, and while science documents the UHI effect as a proven fact, I rarely see it play out like that in reality. I have also in parallel - AI'ed the schit out of this subject, and the variables are endless with never ending possibilities.

Just another pissed off customer of this weather pattern
