SPC is going to extend part of the tornado watch along the GA/FL border beyond the 10 AM EST expiration; new PDS coming after they let that expire.
^ basically this. As somebody who lives in the Jacksonville area, this is going to be extremely difficult to cover when it's basically impossible to track the western edge of the risk area with even moderate accuracy.All of these radars in GA and FL that are down don't help things.
Unfortunately most of the casualties in South Georgia seem to have been in mobile homes. I would guess a fair number of them never got the warnings because they didn't have radios; I have no idea if those areas have sirens or not. That's a relatively rural and relatively poor part of the state so it's entirely possible there were no sirens to begin with. I hope they're able to get some of the power restored, since I know it was still out in the Albany area a couple of hours ago.
With the low moving northeast, that area where the line in should be the prime zone. You will have backing of the winds due to differential heating boundaries in place with the areas to the south of I-10 being untouched vs those north, plus the winds would back even further with the rapid intensification of the low as it lifts toward Atlanta.But for real, that's a nasty environment about to spill into the Eastern Panhandle and Big Bend Region of Florida and into South Georgia. Will be interesting how the current stalled line of storms in South Georgia affects the northward advection of a better airmass...if it does at all.
