SharonA Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It seems to be splitting into N/S chunks, with the worrisome circulation staying in the southern piece. That's right about where the last cell split a couple of hours ago, with a northern piece heading off into Mableton and Marietta, and a southern chunk.

Not always because there have been tornadoes in the past across North Georgia. The temperature is still going up here in Atlanta and the winds from the southwest have picked up as well in the past hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderon Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 This storm may be able to help sort of drag the boundary a little with it, give it a little shove to the north and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a topic I'd love to get into after the nowcasting is over.........but quickly.......sure, we can have spin ups along a QLCS or our typical embedded rotations along squall lines, but we have never, and I mean never had a forecasted day like this ( mod/high risk, discrete supercells etc.) come to fruition with a cooler stable wedge in place. I've followed severe weather for over 30 years here and if you're in the NE CAD areas, it's not happening until the wedge is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovingGulfLows Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Why is it that we can't get wedges this strong during the winter, yet of course, it's completly killing off any real severe potential in Northern GA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye05 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 To be fair, I think it's safe to say that the window for this event to reach its ceiling of potential is closing fast. In terms of failure mode, this is exactly what I was expecting in terms of how things would play out if the event were to under perform; scattered supercells that struggle to develop and maintain significant low level rotation. From the moment I got up this morning, the overall unidirectional wind profile did not sit well with me. I'm sure the persistent stratiform precip and upscale growth throughout the day probably didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is most definitely time of the day just about everyone thought it would take off. Next 60 minutes will be telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melonknee Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The line of formerly tornado warned storms is finally moving into the hilton head/beaufort area. Just some moderate rain and a few flashes of lightning. Second round should be here in about 90 minutes or so. Can't say I'm disappointed because I wasn't really hoping to be sucked into a tornado today, but definitely not what I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
