WxWatcher007 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Just a few minutes ago I said that one would become worthy of a warning. It had acquired some rotation right after passing my parents’ place. Stay safe down there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhirlingWx Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I think it's weakened and/or lifted. However, it cycled rapidly between the first unwarned couplet/cc drop and this, so any new cycles will still have it in place over a heavily populated area. I hope it's done; reflectivity is pretty messy around it now but inflow still seems to be feeding into it based on velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 New tornado warnings up NE of Athens, GA and SW of Charlotte. Hard to get a read on both cells via radar. GA cell looks good though with a strong couplet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Mesoscale Discussion 0491 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1203 PM CDT Mon May 03 2021 Areas affected...north central Georgia into northern and central South Carolina Concerning...Tornado Watch 127... Valid 031703Z - 031830Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 127 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for isolated tornadoes will persist another couple hours over north central Georgia. Severe threat is expected to develop eastward into northern and central South Carolina this afternoon where another WW will be needed soon. DISCUSSION...Storms continue developing along several east-west oriented boundaries across north central GA where the environment remains favorable for occasional supercells with low-level mesocyclones and isolated tornadoes. The atmosphere is destabilizing from the southwest across central and north central GA into central SC. Low-level hodographs will remain sufficient for supercells with isolated tornadoes as the low-level jet continues to shift northeast through northern GA and into western and central SC while the atmospheres destabilize from the south and west. ..Dial/Grams.. 05/03/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
