Severe Weather Threat - January 8th-9th, 2024

TOG Southeast of Dothan, AL now too. This was the original Santa Rosa Beach cell

Big debris ball north of PC.

Looks like the northern storm will avoid most of Dothan, so there’s good news at least.

 

[OHWX97]

The cell passing north of Fort Walton Beach, FL needs to be watched.

 

[Clancy]

Hoping no damage in PC proper.

 

[buckeye05]

Lynn Haven tornado moving straight at the small town of Fountain, FL. Even if it misses or dissipates, there’s a lot of residential areas that extend well outside of town.

 

[warneagle]

Couple of decent looking cells back to the west if they can stay discrete and avoid being eaten by the main line. The one near Niceville has some pretty…nice…rotation on it.

Couplet is moving into Fountain right now

Half of the school systems are closed in north Georgia. No real threat of severe weather (except a slight risk for areas east of Athens). No threat of winter weather today. If this is going to set a precedent (closing schools for every heavy rain event), it will be a long school year.

Are the winds really strong there like they were here yesterday? It may be too dangerous for the school buses to run.

 

[buckeye05]

Direct hit

TDS NE of Fountain. This has been the main cell of the event so far.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Tornado is heading right for Marianna which took heavy wind damage from the eyewall of Hurricane Michael as it moved inland.

 

[keithGA]

Damage in Lower Grand Lagoon area.

 

[buckeye05]

Tornado is heading right for Marianna which took heavy wind damage from the eyewall of Hurricane Michael as it moved inland.

It looks like the TDS is gone now, so hopefully they end up being spared.

 

[buckeye05]

Seriously? TDS in Marianna, right after I said that.

 

[buckeye05]

Niceville, FL cell also dropped one earlier.

 

[TornadoFan]

PDS warning on the Marianna storm

 

[buckeye05]

Damage now being reported at the southeast edge of Marianna. Twitter/X showing significant tree damage and a semi-tuck overturned along the highway.
