5/5-5-6 2026 severe threat

[Clancy]

Worried this storm heading through my neck of the woods in the Atlanta Metro could lay down some dynamic boundaries, especially considering it's basically bisecting the axis of instability in Georgia.

They just cleared the fields at our park here in metro ATL. Tons of lightning. Lots of rain

Don't think I've ever seen a 30/20 tornado watch before, lol.

very week low level jet is proving itself right now.

Ex-Montgomery storm had a favorable merger near Midway, AL and looks very healthy.

Can't really ask for a better storm mode for tornadoes. A lot less messy than most of the HRRR runs 24 hours ago were showing.

Hi everyone, I now live a little north of Atlanta in Chamblee, here for flight school at the Dekalb Co airport KPDK

25-30 knot llj

Hoping this little storm coming through the Atlanta area will stabilize our local atmosphere.

The trusty ol' LLJ is kicking in, and it's even hugging the I-20 corridor because what would any of us, Mother Nature included, do if we didn't have Interstates to base our geography off of?

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

Mesoanalysis is showing 60-75 kts effective shear across southern MS and all of AL. That's certainly elite.

Supercell on the LA/MS border is closest to tornadogensis at the moment.

Southern Mississippi is lit up like a tornado Christmas tree.

Storm north of Doloroso really looks mean. Decent hook and very strong rotation.

Very strong upper air divergence. Up to 16 in Southern Alabama.
