I hope I get some. This will make up for the snow I never really saw. I just really want some snow. I mean, this kinda looks like snow if you squint your eyes. Of course, I don't want hail that damages stuff. Just little hail that will cover my yard in a snow like manner.
 
Can't remember what year it was but I remember there was a time in which while I was coming home, we saw a pile of hail on the side of the road and my dad found it so cool he pulled over. Wasn't cheapie hail either but there was no damage that we could find on the car at home so I don't know that it was huge hail (or if it maybe was confined to one small area).

Well then theres this



Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76...

Valid 212130Z - 212300Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76
continues.

SUMMARY...There is high confidence in scattered to widespread wind
damage from a forward-propagating MCS which will yield swaths of
50-70 mph gusts.

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic and single-site imagery show a maturing
MCS over middle TN which is moving east-southeastward around 40-kt.
Linear extrapolation has the convective system near the GA/AL/TN
tristate area between 23-00z. Steep lapse rates from the surface to
500-mb (around 8 degrees C/km) will favor a long-lived MCS this
evening. The combination of appreciable water loading coupled with
horizontal momentum transport via a favorable lower-tropospheric
thermodynamic setup will likely result in swaths of 50-70 mph winds
and scattered to widespread tree damage.

Farther east, hail will be the primary threat with discrete cells
ahead of the line due to ample CAPE in the -10 to -30 degree layer
and sufficient deep-layer shear for severe multicells and transient
supercell structures.
 
Damn. Hard to say if this will hit Atlanta or not. Looks like it could skirt right to the NE of the city. Guess time will tell.
 
I see that on weather.gov too, and in the box of Hazardous Weather Outlooks, it shows "Tornado Warning" but when I clicked, all I had was a blank screen.
 
Looking at the radar, we may be the next area to get storms with hail in them. One developing to my west moving this way I believe. Also, lots of radar detected 1" hail across the area.
 
Here in mid-north Madison county, AL about 40 mins ago - impressive gust front w/40 mph winds, green hail shaft to the north, pea sized hail here (south of the green hail shaft). I have pics and video, but not worth uploading. Underwhelming from my location.

It'll never get published - but if it does - I'll name the song "Georgia Girl"

Something in an A/D/E blues I'm thinkin'!

Keep the thoughts comin' - you post poetically BTW - really enjoy the insights as I know they are deep and well thought out!
 
Those storms seem like they're heading toward me, but my NWS says they're having a hard time getting through due to an inversion in central SC so who knows.
 
Power is flickering here with lightning in the distance in Sandy Springs. I haven't seen a wind like this in some time. It's picking up the furniture off the patio. Wow!

Man.... 3 separate instances of pea sized hail here... Not sure about how much rain but it was pouring! Still see some more heading this way.
 
Extremely easy to predict this hail with mesoscale modeling yet many NWS offices AND the SPC didn't upgrade forecasts until 20z or when large hail was already falling. Verification charts will be fun.

Make that 4.. more pea sized hail. 4th wave of tonight. Rain coming down fairly well.
