Winter Storm Warning

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 00:32:19 +0000

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning from Friday morning though Saturday afternoon. The forecast has changed back and forth all day long. First estimates I saw were an inch or two, then it jumped to 2-4, the weather channel was at one point saying 9-14 inches! Looks like most right now are saying 2-5 here in the Statesville area with more to the north and west. Should be interesting!

Glad I live here in North Carolina

Just looked at a weather report from my hometown in upstate NY…

THE BAND IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE ACROSS THE TUG HILL REGION THURSDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. STORM TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 FEET
ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL JEFFERSON AND NORTHERN LEWIS COUNTIES.
ACROSS THE TUG HILL PLATEAU REGION...STORM TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS MAY
EXCEED 4 FEET BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

The stores run out of milk and bread when we have an inch or two in
the forecast.  What would happen if we had 4 feet in the forecast?!

Ever wondered what the weather was like in space? I have added a new page to the site that monitors this here.

Cool, Wet Winter Ahead??

Strong Storm Passes Through Iredell County

admin — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 23:44:06 +0000

A strong storm passed through Iredell County this afternoon. I recorded a 31 mph wind gust here and received about an inch and a half of rain from the storm. I’m sure that the wind blew harder than that in some places. I took a drive after the storm passed and some many small limbs that were blown down. The line of storms passed through the entire county and the NWS issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Iredell and many other surrounding counties. One report from Mecklenburg County reported penny sized hail and a 64 mph wind gust. Here is a picture I snapped of the black clouds right before the storm hit: Have any storm or damage pictures? Email them to me and I’ll put them up for everyone to see. Email them to: gregg @ statesvilleweather.net (remove the spaces)

Man Struck By Lightning While Picking Tomatoes

Interesting story – His second time struck by lightning. Just goes to show that if there is any storms in the area it’s always best to get inside.

Stormy Forecast

Glad to finally see a little rain after a dry start to the month. My lawn is a little brown but looks like it is trying to make a come-back. Just took a look at the forecast and we have at least a 40% chance of thunderstorms each of the next 5 days. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

StatesvilleWeather.net 3.0 Ready to Go

admin — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 00:58:29 +0000

I have finally put the finishing touches on some major revisions form the site. The whole site has been updated from top to bottom, which has also allowed me to add a few new features. Hopefully these changes have made the site a little faster and even easier to use. Here is a run-down of the new features (so far):

New weather blog (you are reading it!)
New and improved weather dashboard on homepage with weather conditions that automatically update every 10 seconds
New page with the latest local storm reports from the area found under Forecasts and Advisories
Totally revamped Almanac area with graphs, charts, astronomy information and earthquake information
New Contact Form that makes it easier to contact us

I hope you enjoy the changes. As always – if you have any problems or see anything that I may have missed/messed up please let me know!
