kayman Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Well, it's the first significant threat of severe weather for the regional forum coverage for the 2024 season. This looks to be a late day and potential nocturnal event so let's get to posting here versus the random observations thread. Major population areas within the tornado threat includes Greater Birmingham, Metro Atlanta, Metro Charlotte, Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson, and the Piedmont Triad area (Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point), and Columbia.

GaWx Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Eastern AL/western GA overnight... In response to the amplifying midlevel trough/deepening cyclone over the MS/OH Valleys, deep-layer flow and low-level moisture advection will increase tonight across AL/GA. A surge of upper 60s boundary-layer dewpoints and strengthening low-level shear both appear supportive of supercells/tornadoes overnight in a broken band ahead of the synoptic cold front. An isolated strong tornado or two will be possible. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayman Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Also the storm hitting the South side of Greater Birmingham is also intensifying as well! It's set to cross I-65 in moments with a strong TDS as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayman Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 The prior TDS supercell that went through Conyers in Rockdale County appears to be cycling at the moment but it's still has a strong low-level circulation. Those in southern Walton County towards Monroe needs to be watching this closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Conyers tornado looked very scary on the radar with a clearcut circulation. Hopefully nobody got hurt and the damage wasn’t too bad. ———— “There have been 71 recorded wind events in Conyers. The most severe event was an F2 tornado, which occurred in 1973.

GaWx Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The Conyers, GA, tornado was rated as EF-2. Fortunately no more than a couple of minor injuries were a result: "An EF-2 tornado with maximum winds of 115 mph traveled ENE 9.5 miles across Rockdale County, including the city of Conyers, downing hundreds of trees, many on homes, cars and businesses. Two injuries were reported.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
