Areas affected...central GA

Concerning...Tornado Watch 8...

Valid 032051Z - 032115Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 8 continues.

SUMMARY...Tornadic storms with potential tornadic wind speeds
100-140mph are possible with the Twiggs County supercell.

DISCUSSION...KFFC radar imagery indicates rotational velocity values
between 45-60 kt with an environment supportive of tornadic
supercells. Experimental tornado damage intensity guidance is
suggestive of wind speeds between 100-140mph. Downstream of this
storm, expecting little to no storm-scale interference in the near
term in a strong low-level shear environment. As other storms over
south-central GA move north into the warm frontal zone over central
GA, the tornado potential will probably increase.
 
That was the storm that just missed my parents. Honestly the supercell that produced the massive Lee Co. storm isn't gonna miss them by much either.
 
confirmed tornado from the old Lee Co. supercell is moving right into Talbotton, which is a town of a few thousand people
