Listening to Chattanooga scanner. Sounds very bad just to the east of the city from the earlier tornado emergency.

Capping inversion, which can inhibit convection.

That said, it's not a strong cap and the forcing from the upcoming front is overcoming it.

Thanks

 

[CamWX]

what does cap mean?

You'll see it on soundings as CINH (convective inhibition).

You'll see it on soundings as CINH (convective inhibition).

This is good right?

 

[EV/WS]

Good luck N Georgie and upstate of SC. I’m going to bed dressed. Alarm clock set for 5:00. Prayers.....

 

[CamWX]

This is good right?

If you don't want to see storms, then yes.

 

[campamy]

No power. Entrapments here in Cleveland.

If I recall Brainerd and East Brainerd is a highly populated area with alot of Village style homes

 

[CamWX]

No tornado warnings out...quiet, almost too quiet.

 

[MSnowAtl]

If you don't want to see storms, then yes.

Was this Atlanta soundings?

 

[CamWX]

For Forsyth County. Atlanta sounding is about the same.

 

[accu35]

I'm so glad we are safe here, but my prayers are going out to MS

[Stump]

Nasty line from Statesville NC to Roanoke VA needs to be watched. A little earlier than expected no?

 

[LithiaWx]

Looks like auburn, al just got some pretty good winds on velocity

 

[ChattaVOL]

Chattanooga had a worst case scenario. Major hit to very very populated area. Had to go check on my house. (Luckily okay) but lots of damage and houses destroyed

 

[farleydawg792]

RAP 04z for Athens Georgia (Sounding @ 7z - 3 am). Still showing tornado chances.

Take cover my friend

 

[CamWX]

Looks like Cartersville is about to get hit head-on.

Is the cap gone now?

 

[CamWX]

Is the cap gone now?

Yes.

 

[GaWx]

Winds have been gusting here to 40 even without any rain for the last couple of hours. Hopefully won’t lose power. Dewpoints up to a summery 71-2.

 

[CamWX]

Rotation seen heading across northern Paulding.

 

[CamWX]

House fire in Forsyth caused by lightning.

 

[EmersonGA]

Take cover my friend

Went just north of me but the sirens never went off county wide. Reports say a few trees down in cartersville so hopefully that’s it. It’s sounds awful out there.

 

[Snow_chaser]

The leading edge of the deep red has reached paulding county. Wind kicking up but not a lot of thunder or lightning near me

Ya, it isn't pretty. Literal army of first responders swarming the area. To put into perspective, Gunbarrel Rd from East Brainerd Rd to Commons Blvd has zero power, aside from the backup generators at Erlanger East. Completely dark.

 

[EmersonGA]

So sad. Listening to the local blotter and they just called for the coroner.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Just woke up to take a peek at radarscope. Pretty “meh” out there right now. I’ll set another alarm for 3am after I go to the kitchen for a strawberry pop tart

 

[campamy]

Seriously thought we wouldn't get the worst of it this time. The worst looked West and South of me. I've lived here since 2010 and then went through 2011, 2012, and then the 2016 Ocoee, TN tornado passed almost overhead and hit 3-1/2 miles away. And now tonight AGAIN sooooo close! I moved a little closer to Cleveland and this one also hit just 3-1/2 miles away. WTH???

 

[CamWX]

Tornado warning for Cherokee.

How close is the hit area to the area that got hit by that monster tornado several years ago around Apison Pike?
