Occasionally moderate to heavy rain here tonight.....radar estimates of 1-1.5"....

Though this storm was much larger and covered GA/SC/NC its still the closest thing to something like what the GFS has in living memory....its been 35 years since something like that has happened...

Sturgis Cell...looks like there is probably a TOG with it.... From Spann's twitter

friggen Radarscope is on the fritz.......

Little early for hurricane season....GFS you so silly.....

Well the GFS just ran a mini me to the 93 "Storm of the Century" ....been flirting with a big east coast monster storm for a few days.....need it to track 300 miles further east though.....and not be 372 hrs....

There are people in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham reporting light to mod snow from time to time well north of the precip on radar....RGEM is a little better now has a dusting literally 10 miles to my south lol.....you know if I was forecast to get 1-3" tonight this thing would have no trouble trending south enough to screw me over the next 6-8 hrs, it never ever goes the other way though....I cant remember the last time we had a situation like this were the precip made it further inland than expected and gave us a surprise couple of inches.

Yeah that was ugh, I was expecting him to pull in get out and run to the house/structure and nope just turning around.....

People reporting snow in Tusculoosa and Bham AL well north or the radar returns so that is odd.....not sure how heavy it is but I cant imagine its too heavy if its not being picked up on radar....

It really wont take much to turn this into something as bit more than a few flurries, already downstream it seems to be producing a bit more than the hi res show, sure would be nice to see one bust in our favor for once.....doesn't seem likely but we may see at least some flurries up here in Pitt Co....

It doesnt have to be that violent to wreck trailers, however this one looked fairly violent probably EF3 maybe even high end EF3.....folks in those trailers never had a chance, their options were get out of the way or go underground and very few places in the south have a underground option.

No matter what there will be some serious winds be it straightline or downburst all over the Columbia metro area outside of any tornado damage....

Just south of St Andrews might be trying to take over, which would put Columbia downtown in the path.....pretty messy, dont see anything that screams TOG though....

Yeah there was a TDS then as well, sucks for the next 3-5 mins we wont get a good look cause its over/near the radar....

It may have occluded and now its reforming a touch north in the meso...if this hold up it would be on track to hit right into downtown Columbia....literally right over the radar almost now so hard to say whats going on.....
