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.

LithiaWx Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 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?

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.
