LovingGulfLows Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Bright banding has pretty much consolidated in central SC over the last hour or two. They're going to be in very heavy rain for many many hours. Even some embedded torrential downpours/thunderstorms. Storm is also beginning to take aim on the Atlanta metro. It's been raining here in Conyers for hours now. Off and on moderate to heavy showers. The rain band will continue to pivot over through the morning hours in the more East/West orientation as the ULL begins to slide under. *time sensitive image below* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 4.85 inches so far but it hasn't rained here for several hours actually...although finally the leading edge is finally just making it back here. Big story here is the freaking wind..I actually got woke up by it a few minutes ago...had a 45mph gust a few minutes ago. I see winds gusting to 40mph in the upstate with with many more wide spread gusts to 20 to 30mph elsewhere... am really surprised there aren't more power outages. just an amazing radar image tonight...greenwood to columbia to the coast is just going to be hell the next few days.
