dsaur Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yup! Lots of hail in north Columbus! Quite a few pictures of it too. It didn't hail at the station... so I've yet to see hail haha Dang, when they warned that storm for hail, I was sure you'd finally break the ice ...no pun intended Sun's out now, and up to 61.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The Columbus GA storm moved more to the right and weakened, but re-strengthened southeast of the city. Now has rotation again. Took awhile, but a TOR was finally issued for this storm. It presently looks not very friendly on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if the cell to the west of Fort Valley, GA had a TOG at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Took awhile, but a TOR was finally issued for this storm. It presently looks not very friendly on radar. A pair of TVS's in this storm now...a couple miles apart at 337 EST loop. Folks in Montezuma may want to consider a safe place for the time being.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Dang, when they warned that storm for hail, I was sure you'd finally break the ice ...no pun intended Sun's out now, and up to 61.9 Funny thing is, if I were at my apartment, I would have seen Golf Ball sized hail! haha! Also, the signature by Montezuma is ridiculous. It's the best looking we've seen all day! The Harris County tornado warning was bleh... Didn't cover it wall-to-wall because there wasn't enough information to warrant that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Montezuma-Unadilla supercell, once again, has a hook on it. We'll see if FFC wants to go with a new TOR or not. The SVS showed FFC made their decision based upon a tornado not being the biggest threat, even though they said one could have developed. I respect their opinion on that. However, they may want to call for more than just Quarter Size Hail on this storm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well on wunderground, our chance of rain went from 20 to 30%. And it says some thunderstorms may produce damaging winds and large hail. Hopefully we see some type of rain. Big flashes of lightning are occuring outside currently.

Sunny and Warm Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 just checked the radar...impressive squall line...anyone getting in on any of the action? yes, Hilton Head is getting pounded pretty good. Good lightning and heavy rain. What's surprising is that this is the first t-storm in about four months down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
