jshetley Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Upstate SC and Western North Carolina can take about an hour breather...then shortly thereafter, things will begin to pick up as those cells in Georgia reach the Upstate... I'm not sure the eastern parts of Spartanburg or the western half of Cherokee can let their guard down. That's a nasty storm to the SE of Spartanburg right now. Kind of suprised it doesnt have a warning on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Sirens going off again, tornado warning number 3 or 4.... This storm is going to come right over me this time on it current heading, I'm about center in the warning cone this time. I'm going to log off thill this one passes. This will be very close, no TVS yet but it's tornado warned.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The storm southeast of Atlanta had a good hook on it at one point, but another storm from behind ran into it. The storm southeast of Athens currently has a good hook and decent rotation, hence the enhanced TOR wording from FFC. Cobb county has a pair of mesocyclones to deal with presently, neither has strong rotation but either could produce a brief tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ahead of me and I was supposed to be in one of the "jackpot" areas a few days ago. Up to .69" here in Dahlonega. The rain gauge reads 8.43 inches right now. Much more still to come. Simply amazing and the radar is picking back up in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 And those are heading north to my neck of the woods up here in Dahlonega. looks like things might be getting active farther east finally. whats odd is nothing but light rain here, and no real storms nearby, but the satellite is out like it does only usually during the heaviest rains. oh well lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 From my thread in the Wx disc. board... Reports are coming out of the Woodstock, Georgia area of a significant tornado touchdown.

Marion_NC_WX Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm not sure the eastern parts of Spartanburg or the western half of Cherokee can let their guard down. That's a nasty storm to the SE of Spartanburg right now. Kind of suprised it doesnt have a warning on it. Yeah...Fox Carolina is breaking in and giving a head's up for Gaffney... Elbert County GA is warned now, cell near Comer. I'm noticing that the radar returns are starting to come more SSW to NNE and even a couple crazy cells moving norh in Spartanburg County...that's a sure sign that Lee's remanant is getting closer.

SouthernNJ Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Holly Springs/Canton storm really flared up after exiting Cobb county. Be really unlucky if they got hit by yet another tornado today. Storm east of Athens heading for the SC border still looks dangerous on radar as it exits the FFC area into GSP.

Gastonwxman Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 <b></b>The cell that is East of Athens and headed to S.C. has the most lightning I have seen in any one cell all day.<b></b> Yeah radar lit up in a heartbeat down there after turning on the lightning detection setting on Wunderground. Another round of showers and storms appear to be on the way for the NC piedmont in a little while. Already a Svr t-storm for Cherrokee county. Columbia SC looks like they may get into some action soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_Militarypolice Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 This pic was taken between Dublin and Wrightsville. Awesome pic . Still some good rotation just north of Keithsburg in Cherokee County Ga. Looking at the loop the rotation, possible tornado, went right over Canton. Sure we'll here some reports soon.
