WOW. You don't hear that every day! Unfortunately no good photos will probably come out of this because they'll be rain-wrapped. :(

That is not a "string of pearls" signature, those are showers being pulled into the convection growing upscale to the north.

The convection around blakely and colquitt, yes. The Cells firing due north of tallahassee are what i'm looking at. Seem to be independent of the westward junk.

This seems like a titanic bust for ATL.  I don't see what the local mets are around here.  It's been pouring since 8:30am this morning nearly nonstop.  Aside from some pea sized hail it's been just a boat load of rain.

 

Is something else supposed to form later back into AL?

Actually, something is coming up very soon.  Per the SPC

It's 2:30pm on a day when the major show is supposed to kick off in Alabama around 4-5pm. This is premature to say the least

The northern movement of the warm front did not materialize today as much as expected.  Later afternoon/tonight, more development will occur in AL and head east as the front passes through.

The sigtor for West GA isn't modeled to max out until 6-8PM tonight. We haven't even started yet.

When SPC hoists that TOR watch for AL/TN/KY, that's the start of the main event.
