Will lower chances of Significant Severe, but not because of it being present. The dynamics (wind energy) are so strong that nothing can be ruled out in Slight Risk and above areas.

Some good news at least: Robins AFB (KJGX) radar is back up.

PDS tornado watch issued for Atlanta Metro with a major NFL game today in the Georgia Dome. I hope the severe weather stays away until long after this game is over!

Tornado warning for Autauga Co until 12:45

Already looking like strong rotation.

 

[Psalm 148:8]

Dang at the size of that PDS! Do you realize the probabilities on it rival Nike other than the PDS watches on 4/27/11???

 

[WesL]

Wow that Autauga storm wrapped up fast -

 

[Kory]

Surface winds are still a bit veered across most of the warm sector. As mentioned by stebo, once the surface low deepens more and lifts NE, they should begin to back. And then it'll be game on.
