LithiaWx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Destructive winds between 70 to 80 mph are possible in Cobb county in the next 10-15 minutes looking at the radar. Marietta and areas adjacent could be in for a wild ride. I sure hope not. Ill post my obs after the line comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 New tornado warning in Georgia also appears to be a squall line to me. Looks like a strong wind gust at Dallas GA and New Hope GA, but I can't pinpoint any rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy3107 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looks like a debris ball to me as well on the cell SW of Atlanta. Tornado warning now just knocking on the door here, should hear sirens in about 20 minutes if the cell west of Atlanta holds on as it gets into the wedge.

Teru Teru Bozu Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...E-CNTRL AL...WRN GA CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 53... VALID 182157Z - 190000Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 53 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...LINE OF TSTMS ACROSS E-CNTRL AL WILL CONTINUE QUICKLY EWD...MERGING WITH ONGOING SUPERCELLS ACROSS WRN GA. THE OVERALL TORNADO RISK WILL DECREASE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE HAIL AND WIND DEVELOPING. A DOWNSTREAM SVR TSTM WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ACROSS SE GA. DISCUSSION...LINE OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS E-CNTRL AL WILL CONTINUE MOVING EWD WITH INCREASING ACCELERATION AS THE LINE DISCRETELY PROPAGATES DUE TO MERGERS WITH ONGOING SUPERCELLS ACROSS WRN GA. RADAR-BASED STORM MOTION ESTIMATES INDICATE THE LINE IS MOVING ESE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 KTS. SVR WIND GUSTS WERE REPORTED AT ANB AND GAD IN NW AL DURING THE LAST HOUR. DISCRETE CELLS CONTINUE AHEAD OF THE LINE BUT IT APPEARS SUFFICIENT TIME FOR ORGANIZATION AND SUBSEQUENT TORNADO DEVELOPMENT MAY BE WANING DUE TO THE APPROACHING CONVECTIVE LINE. THE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS THE WATCH AREA REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS WITH EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR AROUND 50 KTS AND MLCAPE AROUND 1500 J/KG. ALSO...GIVEN THE ADEQUATE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND SHEAR...TORNADOES ARE STILL POSSIBLE WITH ANY MATURE DISCRETE STORM OR SUPERCELL LINE MERGERS. GIVEN THE CURRENT EVOLUTION OF THE OVERALL CONVECTIVE SYSTEM...IT APPEARS THE LINE WILL MOVE E OF THE WW 53 BETWEEN 23 AND 00Z. AS SUCH...A DOWNSTREAM SEVERE TSTM WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ACROSS SE GA BEFORE 00Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
