Edgefield/Saluda cell trying to rotate in SC. Watch out for it.
 
Tornado for Lexington, again. Saluda, Edgefield.
 
The rainfall today has been crazy. I can't believe how much rain we are getting. I gotta be thankful because it's keeping us more stable. Hopefully it will continue.
 
When do you guys think that the watch may come back over the Atlanta area? For the moment it's not active, I'm actually not even in a watch (other than flood) just south of Atlanta but right below me there is a PDS watch.

Not sure if that will be expanded a few rows north or not. I'm near Agnes Scott & have dropped to 59 degrees. That cape is having a tough time getting up north of I-20 so my guess would be no for now.
 
Yeah there was a debris ball on the Saluda/Lexington cell. Its cycling i'd guess. We'll see.

I hope that's accurate. It would be nice to be out of the watch area.
 
This tor is reforming right over downtown batesburg leesville. its weak from what i see. lets see.
 
The warm front isn't budging much here in north Georgia....will limit the amount of severe here. Prayers with those in Central and South Georgia
 
Looking at the radar, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a confirmed tornado sometime (either soon or later) with the tornado warned cell in SC right now.

I do wonder if that rain that has formed is going to keep a lot of the eastern areas in Georgia of the PDS tornado watch from seeing much more than thunderstorms with this round. It's starting to become thunderstorms now from rain, so we'll see how far it goes.
 
The whether channel app has removed the severe wording for the evening forecast here in south Atlanta. Now says some storms may be "strong" we'll have to see how that plays out.

Edit: it now says "some storms may be severe" this has to be the worst prediction app I've ever seen.
