Thrasher Fan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0097 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1009 AM CST WED JAN 30 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...NRN/WRN GA...ERN/SRN AL...AND ADJACENT AREAS OF THE FL PNHDL CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 18...19... VALID 301609Z - 301745Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 18...19...CONTINUES. SUMMARY...POTENTIAL FOR STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND TORNADOES PROBABLY WILL INCREASE THRU 18-20Z...PARTICULARLY ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN ALABAMA THROUGH WESTERN/NORTHERN GEORGIA. DISCUSSION...A PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE HAS SHOWN ONLY FAIRLY SLOW EASTWARD MOVEMENT DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. MEANWHILE..BROAD LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION IS CONTRIBUTING TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITHIN THE RELATIVELY NARROW WEDGE OF HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE WHICH HAS ADVECTED INLAND OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO. CLOUD COVER WITHIN THIS AIR MASS IS LIMITING SURFACE HEATING AND BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION. HOWEVER...THE RAPID REFRESH SUGGESTS THAT A 65-70 KT SOUTHERLY 850 MB JET CORE IS IN THE PROCESS OF EXPANDING NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF SOUTHWESTERN ALABAMA INTO THE NORTHERN GEORGIA PIEDMONT BETWEEN NOW AND 18-20Z. THIS IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR AS THE AMPLIFIED UPSTREAM UPPER TROUGH AXIS TAKES ON MORE OF A NEUTRAL TO NEGATIVE TILT ACROSS EASTERN TEXAS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR...AT LEAST WEAK INSTABILITY...AND INCREASING LARGE-SCALE SUPPORT FOR UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION...POTENTIAL FOR INCREASING CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION/EASTWARD ACCELERATION AND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL APPEARS TO EXIST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG A CORRIDOR FROM MONTGOMERY AND TROY AL THROUGH AREAS NEAR AND NORTHEAST OF THE ATLANTA METROPOLITAN AREA. THIS INCLUDES THE RISK FOR TORNADOES...AS WELL AS DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioguy3107 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Latest scan near Adairsville. I would expect there is a tornado on the ground with this look. Pretty strong couplet.

SouthernNJ Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hopefully the folks in Adairsville got to safety. Radar certainly hints a strong tornado may have moved through. As for Atlanta and suburbs, a few supercells have developed near Montgomery AL and may make a run at the region before the afternoon is over.

audioguy3107 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It also looks like the main line over in Alabama is beginning to break up a little bit. There are now 3 distinct but small cells all showing some signs of rotation. We'll see if they can tap any instability that's out there as they approach the Georgia line.
