Snowless in Carrollton Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Temps are a good 10 degrees warmer in Atlanta than Birmingham with similar dp's. Does this mean the threat for tornadoes will increase as they move further east ? I'm trying to figure out why Birmingham is in a moderate risk and Atlanta is in a slight risk.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 From FFC. Sounds like not a big deal at all : A NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT SHOULD HELP DESTABILIZE THE AIR MASS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ...AND THIS SHOULD SUPPORT STRONG TO A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CWA. SEVERE THREAT SHOULD LAST OVERNIGHT AS THE STORMS TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Well, we're getting severe thunderstorm warnings now but still no watch. Makes perfect sense. I'm a little surprised myself there isn't a watch or at the very least a mesoscale discussion from SPC. With storms knocking on the door (and one inside), i would have thought by now there would be some sort of attention paid to it. Those cell sin alabama are heading in our general direction and it won't be too long before of them get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Weve got light rain and distant thunder. The bad one went north fortunately and gave me time to batten down the hatches in my garden. Im ready for wind but Im worried about hail. All of my tomatoes got killed in 2009 by golf ball sized hail and I dont want a repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL_Militarypolice Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 WW possible soon across N GA THE THREAT FOR SEVERE TSTMS IS INCREASING ACROSS N-CNTRL/CNTRL/W-CNTRL GA...AND A WW MAY BECOME NECESSARY. AN AREA OF MLCAPE VALUES OF 500-1000 J/KG WILL CONTINUE EXPANDING NWD ACROSS GA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A WARM FRONT. THIS WILL OCCUR IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE INFLUX OF GULF MOISTURE AT THE ERN PERIPHERY OF THE WARM SECTOR. RECENT SUPERCELLULAR STRUCTURE OVER WRN PICKENS COUNTY REFLECTS THE STRONG DEEP-LAYER WIND SHEAR IN PLACE. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL LIKELY DEVELOP WITHIN THE EXPANDING WARM SECTOR AND NEAR THE WARM FRONT...AND WIND PROFILES WILL REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS. LARGE HAIL AND DMGG WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS...THOUGH STRONG LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL PROMOTE A THREAT FOR TORNADOES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Looks like it's been awfully rough for the MS and AL folks since I left for work this morning. The reports from the recent tornadoes are nothing short of impressive. The cell south of Birmingham continues to hold strong with the tornado warnings continued for parts of Bibb, Shelby, and Jefferson counties and is the most interesting area of storms that I'm seeing on radar clustered with it. One in particular east of Meridian, MS has a nice top to it (46k). That one might hold and push into Selma. It just looks an absolute sight on here. EDIT: Tornado warning in NE Bibb county has been canceled. EDIT(6:33): Next cell with a TVS sig. near Brent, AL is already very dangerous. Anyone living along a line going SW toward that area I would be careful. Looks to follow a path similar to the cells that just went east of Hoover. EDIT(6:45): Areas west of Maplesville look out. Another cell wrapping up and intensifying hastily. Could be the next tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OroAeolus Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Get ready for some possible strong winds. Storm does have a broad area of rotation heading towards Douglasville. I wouldn't mind seeing a few strong winds, honestly. The past few weeks most of "funner" storms have gone north of me. Looks like this one might do the same. EDIT: Been almost a constant roll of thunder for the past 2 or 3 minutes now, and lots of lightning. Power went out for a few seconds as well.

OroAeolus Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 The cell is moving over me now. Some gusty wind at the start, but now just very heavy rain with almost zero wind. EDIT: The rain keeps getting harder and harder. You can barely see grass at my apartment complex now. It's just standing water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny WX Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It was all much more severe here in Baton Rouge than forecasts had led me to believe. I was under the impression that most of the severe weather would go north of us. Even the massive tornado watch that I saw earlier this morning showed the southern line of the watch area to be north of me by at least 30 miles (not far by weather-watching standards, but still). Things changed during the 6-hour nap I took. By the time I woke up, the local ABC affiliate's weather crew had blogged several severe local watches/warnings. It was like a battlefield. It's mostly quieted down now. But it was obviously noteworthy... and I slept through it!! ARGH!!
