A record breaking severe weather event unfolded from late Sunday evening April 3 to early Tuesday morning April 5 2011 with over 1200 reports of severe weather and a lot of tornadoes, one that was in Surry county NC. Also strong straight line winds raced across the Triad area with a few tornado warnings out also.
Severe reports.
Heres a few radar screen shots of the storms as they crossed into the Triad metro area.
Heres a close up of the Supercell that prompt the tornado warning in Davidson and Guilford counties.
Special thanks to Matthew East for the Gibson Ridge level 3 data.
Heres what the upper air sounding from Greensboro looked like 30 to 45mins before the storms hit at around 2:45am.
Just a prime severe weather sounding. The 00z sounding looked nothing like that the 6z above is from warm air advection and moisture advection.
