Lookout Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 16 minutes ago, Snowless in Carrollton said: I'm looking at a surface map on weather.com and i dont see any fronts in the vicinity of GA. There's a stationary front in KY, VA and a cold front entering AL but i don't see anything anywhere near GA. boundary is pretty evident looking at surface temps as you can see below (you can zoom in and out/change number of stations for those not familiar with the WHV) but am noticing winds west and south of atlanta starting to turn to the ESE vs east earlier which means it might be on the move again..also there is now considerable breaks in the cloud cover starting to happen from west to east...which should speed up the warm front's push north. Plus the decrease in precip over north ga will help too. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?&zoom=7&scroll_zoom=true¢er=33.31216783738619,-84.990234375&basemap=ESRI Imagery&boundaries=false,true,false&hazard=true&hazard_type=severe&hazard_opacity=60&obs=true&obs_type=tempcur&obs_popup=false&obs_density=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderon Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I was just about to say that. A stout east wind over here at ATL where I work and it's been hell today for the airlines here. Looks to be plenty of filtered sunshine, maybe even full sunshine, is on the way and that can help mix the boundary back northward. I think that scenario may very well play out and have it bisecting the metro in time for the main activity time period, which could be pretty ugly if so.

audioguy3107 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Many times in north Georgia, our wedge boundaries in the spring can be somewhat diffuse and reach all the south of the city. The boundary today is very sharp and only encompasses the far NE section of Georgia. Yesterday's STP was bulls eyed from basically the perimeter westward to the Alabama border which seems about right based on current obs. Any cells which form to our west will have a stout boundary to follow as they track off to the east. I think it's going to be on for the city westward but I think areas in the far NE foothills and mountains may remain stable enough to prevent anything really serious.

SharonA Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It's been mostly overcast but bright, with a few patches of clear sky showing, in my little chunk of western GA. The Carrollton cell split and its pieces have reduced the clearing a bit. ... keeping a close eye on the rotation in that AL cell, the northern part of which has just crossed over in to GA, along I-20.

Vicious Fluid Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'm seeing alot of clearing out right now, but I am wary. I'll admit i'm a little paranoid about weather sometimes, but from what it appears those cells forming ahead of the dry line are on a one way track for ATL/metro.

melonknee Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 very cloudy here in beaufort. hopefully it stays that way, but i don't think things are going to be getting too intense in these parts. we had some peeks of sunshine a couple hours ago after some rain this morning, but besides that just cloudy cloudy cloudy.

ryan1234 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 All these post about it being too cloudy or wedged in are driving me insane. As has been stated numerous times by the experts on here and even from Brad P, this is going to be a evening/overnight threat. Heck we may even see a few peaks of sun before the sun goes down in our neck of the woods. Thank goodness for the ignore button. I find it very, very useful.

I don't enjoy tornado threats after being in a couple and it's even worse of a feeling to have one in the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
