Severe WX Severe Weather Threat: May 2-5, 2021

[RF16Gold]

Looks like it came close, perhaps to the south, of Six Flags and Brown Field.

I disagree. While they aren't empty like at 2am, the morning rush is over (especially with all the work remote from corona) and the lunch rush is just now beginning. North Dekalb and Gwinnett might have some more congested roads when this storm moves over them, but that should be it.

I would argue that they’re not empty at 2am. But maybe traffic just finds me haha.

Both the circulation and debris signature tracked well south of Both and stayed south of I-20 until well past Brown field.

Got a friend near Villa Rica, seeing if all is well over there

I work in Villa Rica and we had very heavy rain and some rain but I think we're good here. My office is right on Mirror Lake Drive off interstate 20.

I have waited eighteen years to say this. It's May 2003 all over again.

[Equus]

Yeah they're alright, just said some blinding rain

 

[Clancy]

New warning is SVR with Tornado Possible tag.

 

[Equus]

Seems to have gone linear. Could be some spinups along the edge but looks like perhaps the worst could be over at least for now.

 

[Argus]

SPC needs to extend the tornado watch further north to include Commerce, GA and the northeast Georgia region.

 

[Equus]

New MCD for that complex, still quite favorable for it to keep trying to produce

How can you have something on CC but no damage in that area? There have been a few times with the storms yesterday and today where there was definitely something showing up on CC but there wasn't any damage in that area when I passed through later on. Does CC pick up small branches and leaves the same as it would larger debris from a structure?

What area(s) are you referring to?

 

[Clancy]

New MD from SPC concerns development of storms in South Alabama.

 

[Clancy]

WSB showing either wind or tornado damage in South Fulton.

 

[Argus]

cells are splitting west of Athens.

 

[Clancy]

Now Slight Risk expanded across more of the SE. 5% tornado risk also expanded.

Tornado warning heading right for Charlotte Nc

Another tornado warning south of Commerce GA
