[NorthGaWeather]

New tornado watch coming for north and central Georgia.

It may be for all of North Georgia. However, the one cell near Chattanooga, and the supercell cluster moving Southeast near Gadsden are going to split and leave some areas of North Georgia high and dry.

Not that the tornado threat is over, and with respect to the tornadoes we’ve had, but the big story out of this event might be the hail and the damage that it has caused.

Moderate being maintained apparently on the new outlook

 

[MikeP]

I would think the moderate verified just based on hail size and intensity....

Again, it was tornado-driven. A moderate based on hail would require a 45% hatched probability.

 

[CSimonds]

That Ashville-Rainbow City storm needs to be watched closely

 

[Equus]

I am baffled as to why they kept 30/hatched on hail probs, though. I don't think the tornado probs will verify, but the hail easily over-performed for a 30/hatched. That's only an Enhanced level hail threat.

You're right. But we've had 100% verification now on stupid big hail lol.....

Is the Birmingham threat over? Not that it ever really began in the first place...

 

[NorthGaWeather]

New watch out for North and Central Georgia until 4am.

 

[ARCC]

I'd say keep your eyes open, but looks good so far.

Video from the Tornado that went through Falkville and eventually went into Cullman county and produced Baseball size hail.

A lot of things went wrong from a forecasting perspective for me today.. gonna have to see what happened with that.

 

[Mike S]

State troopers report TOG in southern Dekalb County - Aroney community

 

[MichelleH]

That cell near Blountsville looks suspicious to me

 

[warneagle]

Flash flood warning in Cullman County, not surprised there. These things are really training over that area.

 

[Evan]

TOR on one of the blob storms we were told would simply be absorbed and do nothing.

Could it be that the warm front just didn't make it far enough north? Here in Madison, it never got above 66 degrees and the dewpoint never got above 61. We had a total of maybe 20 minutes of sunshine spread over a 3 hour period. I was soundly chastised earlier today when I posted that it just didn't FEEL like tornado weather. Obviously that wasn't true everywhere, but it certainly was in southern Madison County.

Tornado warning for Northern Calhoun County

That storm passing north of Wellington really ramping up, one of the more impressive rotations I've seen tonight.
