I think we need to really pay attention to the storm on Monday.  Could be fun for parts of the SE

 

"Fun", he says .  Mets! :rolleyes:

 

I'm paying attention.  Sunday is travel, and Monday is onsite work in Jacksonville.  Between the weekend-holiday traffic on I-75 plus the possible SVRs on Sunday, and then the "fun" on Monday ... yeah, I'm paying attention.  Watcha got?

 

At least there will be some warmth with it.  I'm tired of this cold crap, and it's not even December yet.  whiiiiiiinnnnnnne

Considering making my way down towards Columbus or Auburn though I am not sold yet on a particular target just yet and could end up near Tifton or heck even Waycross. Shear values look very high but cape will be the issue. High shear/low cape events can produce a decent outbreak.. Just got to decide if I want to chase storms moving 60+ mph.

The nam and gfs certainly looks worse, if you want svr wx. on tonights runs.. The wedge front/warm front never really gets kicked out until its too late.  I still say its possible, but might really be confined to MS, southern and mid AL and southern/Mid GA and the pandhandle  maybe the coastal carolinas.

Even though we are totally wedged right now the folks at MHX and SPC seem to think we are still primed for a possible severe event, this is from the AFD from MHX....looks like there will be a window where any good updrafts that can get going stand a good chance of rotating, so it is one of those cases where if there is a couplet on radar chances are its legit and producing.

 

...BY THIS EVENING...INSTABILITY INCREASES FROM
THE SOUTH AS STRONG WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH. VERY IMPRESSIVE LOW-
LEVEL SHEAR VALUES INDICATED BY FORECAST SOUNDINGS...WITH SRH
HELICITY VALUES UPWARDS OF 600-700 BY 00Z TONIGHT.
THIS COINCIDES
WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE INSTABILITY AND MOST OF THE CWA REMAINS IN
A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TSTMS. THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE STRONG DAMAGING WINDS AND THE RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES GIVEN THIS SHEAR
ENVIRONMENT.
THE TORNADO/SEVERE THREAT SHOULD WANE AFTER 06Z AS
THE FLOW BECOMES MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL. IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE
THREAT...QPF TOTALS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE AS DEEP
MOISTURE IS ADVECTED FROM THE ATLANTIC WITH VERY IMPRESSIVE LOW-
LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT. GIVEN THE WARM SW WINDS...EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO FALL VERY LITTLE TONIGHT...LIKELY REMAINING IN THE
LOWER 60S.

I'm patiently waiting the sound of thunder  :wub:  

 

CAE......

TONIGHT...
BY THIS EVENING...SURFACE FLOW WILL INCREASE FROM THE
SE AND S AS 50 TO 60 KT LOW-LEVEL JET APPROACHES. THE SHEAR
SUPPORTS A POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. ALTHOUGH THE
LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE LITTLE SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY. THE NAM
DISPLAYS JUST WEAK INSTABILITY WITH SURFACE BASED LI/S -1 TO -2 IN
THE SOUTHEAST SECTION. THE BEST TIME FRAME FOR POSSIBLE STRONG/SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS TIME APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN 6 PM AND
11 PM. SPC WRF SHOWS A SQUALL LINE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA DURING
THE 6 PM TO 11 PM PERIOD. THE MAIN THREAT FROM ANY SEVERE WEATHER
WOULD LIKELY BE DAMAGING WINDS...BUT WITH DEEP SHEAR NEAR THE WARM
FRONT...AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

MHX still thinks things could get rough here especially east near the coast, if and at this point it seems a pretty big IF the storms can get going during the window below they could be really nasty and produce more than a weak spin up with these kind of shear parameters. Could be 2-3 hrs tonight where every little storm ( if they even form) wants to hook....

 

WEAK SURFACE TROUGH ALONG THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIFE
NORTH THROUGH EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE NIGHT AS A WARM
FRONT. GOOD SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR ON THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS
WITH 60 KNOT JET
EVIDENT AT 8H AT THE START OF THE FORECAST PERIOD
WITH INCREASING INSTABILITY. CAPES REMAINING LOW...MAINLY BELOW 1000
J/KG...WITH LI AROUND -2. WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AND SHEAR AND
FORECAST SRH WELL OVER 1000 M2/S2...
ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE WITH STRONG WINDS AND A TORNADO
POSSIBLE

Mesoscale Discussion 1944 < Previous MD mcd1944.gif MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1944

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0236 PM CST SUN NOV 23 2014

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF ERN GA AND FAR NERN FL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 232036Z - 232300Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

SUMMARY...AREAS EAST OF TORNADO WATCH 558 ARE BEING MONITORED FOR

THE POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF A NEW TORNADO WATCH DURING THE NEXT COUPLE

OF HOURS.

DISCUSSION...A SQUALL LINE WITH EMBEDDED MESOCYCLONES IS CROSSING

THE AL/GA BORDER EXTENDING INTO THE FL PANHANDLE...AND WILL SPREAD

E/NE OF UPSTREAM TORNADO WATCH 558 DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

MARGINAL BUOYANCY...LARGELY SUPPORTED BY LOWER 70S SFC

DEWPOINTS...PRECEDES THIS CONVECTION TO THE S OF A WAVY WARM FRONT

ORIENTED W/E ACROSS SRN GA. SFC PRESSURE FALLS OF 3.5-4.5 MB PER 2

HRS FROM THE TN VALLEY TO THE SRN APPALACHIANS WILL CORRESPOND TO

ISALLOBARIC FLOW DRIVING THE WARM FRONT AND MARGINAL BUOYANCY NWD

INTO EARLY EVENING. MODEST WARM ADVECTION WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE

SQUALL LINE MAY ALSO FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEPER CONVECTION

OVER S-CNTRL/SERN GA. STRONG SSWLY/SWLY TROPOSPHERIC FLOW ASSOCIATED

WITH 50-55 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR AND 30-35 KT OF 0-1-KM SHEAR

WILL SUPPORT A RISK FOR DMGG WIND GUSTS...AND PERHAPS ONE OR TWO

TORNADOES WITH QLCS-EMBEDDED MESOVORTICES/PRECEDING TRANSIENT

SUPERCELLS. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE TENDENCY FOR STRONGER DEEP ASCENT TO

ONLY GLANCE THE REGION...POOR LAPSE RATES...AND EVENTUAL NOCTURNAL

COOLING...CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL SVR RISK IS LIMITED TO SOME

EXTENT.

..COHEN/THOMPSON.. 11/23/2014

Looks like severe cancel for the RAH area...

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 810 PM SUNDAY......THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL REMAIN AT OR VERY NEAR THE COAST...THE WATER VAPOR SATELLITE DATA INDICATED THE MID LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WAS TRACKING NE THROUGH CENTRAL TN INTO KY THIS EVENING. THE MID LEVEL FRONT WAS SURGING EASTWARD TOWARD OUR REGION ACCOMPANIED BY A FINAL LINE OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. THE STRONGEST LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE AFFECTING OUR AREA FOR THE NEXT 3-6 HOURS WITH SEVERAL BANDS OF RAINFALL (WITH ONE FINAL BAND WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE) AS THE MID LEVEL FRONT PASSES. THERE WERE TWO VERY IMPORTANT LOW LEVEL FEATURES PRESENT. BOTH WILL ACT TO LIMIT SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR OUR REGION. 1)... THE EXPECTED IN-SITU DAMMING EVENT OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND WESTERN PIEDMONT WHERE SURFACE WINDS HAVE BACKED TO THE NORTHEAST AND NORTH AS THE DIABATIC PROCESS TOOK OVER. NOTE THE STRONG CAD SIGNATURE EXTENDS THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE BLUE RIDGE EASTERN SLOPES AND PIEDMONT FROM VIRGINIA THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA... NW SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 40S ALL THE WAY TO GAINESVILLE GEORGIA (JUST NE OF ATL) WITH A LOW LEVEL NE FLOW. THE CAD BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED SOUTH OF GSP TO STATESVILLE... THROUGH THE TRIAD... AND INTO SOUTHERN VA. WINDS EAST OF THE BOUNDARY BECOME SE... AND GUSTY TO 20 MPH. TEMPS WERE IN THE MID 50S FROM GSP TO CLT TO RDU AND RWI. THE SECOND... BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT BOUNDARY (THE MAIN WARM FRONT) WAS LOCATED FROM SE GEORGIA NORTHEAST ALONG THE CENTRAL SC COAST... THEN OFFSHORE OF SC. IT APPEARS THAT A MESOSCALE LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED SE OF AUGUSTA AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NE TOWARD OR NEAR WILMINGTON AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE ASSOCIATED WARM SECTOR SHOULD APPROACH THE FAR SE PART OF NC... BUT THE WIDESPREAD RAIN OVER OUR REGION SHOULD CONTINUE TO PREVENT THE MAIN WARM FRONT FROM SURGING DEEP INTO THE MORE STABLE DOME OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN. EVEN WITH THE PERIODS OF SHOWERS... ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE BANDS OF CONVECTION FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING BEFORE ENDING FROM THE SW LATE EVENING OVER THE SW PIEDMONT. SHOWERS AND ELEVATED STORMS WILL GRADUALLY END IN THE EAST OVERNIGHT. ANY SEVERE THREAT SHOULD REMAIN OUTSIDE OF EVEN OUR FAR SE COUNTIES WITH THIS EVENT... LIMITED TO THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL COUNTIES FROM WILMINGTON TO MOREHEAD CITY.

Thomaston, GA - Upson County

image.jpg

Not sure if this was the one but damage is stout here.

http://www.wsbtv.com/gallery/news/local/strong-storms-leave-damage-across-middle-georgia/gCPgr/#more-galleries

Yeah, that's from the same storm that had a TDS north of Eufaula, AL that my chief and I were tracking. It started just north of Eufaula and went for Thomaston about about 90 mins later. It wasn't producing a tornado that entire time, but that same cell probably produced 2, maybe 3, seperate tornadoes. It had nice couplets north of Eufaula, near Cusseta, GA, and again near Thomaston.

Also had a number of trees down from wind in Columbus, GA from a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Damage also happened in Marion County just north of Buena Vista, GA. However, Thomaston sustained the most damage out of all the damage pictures/video I've seen.

It hasn't been officially classified but the NWS reported EF-2 damage in this storm.  That's pretty intense.
