12z Euro clearly increases the wind/rain/tornado threat for Georgia. Also, contraflow will begin at 8am on Saturday for I-16 in Georgia from Savannah to Macon.

12Z Euro is a truly awful scenario.

This page will get you the graphics. They run every 6 or 12 hours, depending on the model. Times they run are in UTC time.

Take a look around in there. GFS is the primary model in there but you can change to some of the other models and get an idea of what the forecast looks like.

Local Met just acknowledged the 12z Euro track. Saying ..."It's just one run of the model, but it's an important one".

 

[SouthernStorms]

Thanks everyone. So is the 6z 12z etc at the end the time they are ran?

Yep! They then come out a few hours after that to the public.

I haven't been paying attention to social media. But, I'm assuming it was Brad Nitz or Glenn Burns? haha.

Not to say they're wrong. It, hopefully, was an eye opening run for potential impacts.

I heard on the Jox Roundtable this afternoon that the Talledega Speedway is open for evacuees from the coast.

Dear God ....

 

[CoreyandFrosty]

Wow. If those wind maps happened, this would be Opal all over again. In fact, it would be much worse than Opal. Do you guys think wind gust of 70-90 mph is really possible in Atlanta Ga?
