Some come here just to get info and when they see people post in absolutes they take it at face value.

This goes both ways though.

It's also not helpful for folks to come on here and see people who aren't "weather weenies" (as you describe) spreading misleading information that they may also take at face value.

For all we know, people could have saw their post and decided to let their guard down in response.

Sorry if this comes across as harsh.
 
Is it just me or did the HRRR in the past two runs just ramp up the supercell and SIG TOR perimeters over central NC a good bit with this line coming through late tonight early tomorrow morning

Not harsh, just sanctimonious. If you look at her post, she was replying to another poster who was actually the one declaring things “over.”
 
What's makes them put a tornado watch over certain counties yet not others? Greenwood is outside the tornado watch yet the counties north/west are in it. Considering how long watches last you would they would include us. (Just curious)

The SPC collaborates with the local NWS branches to determines the exact locations for inclusion in a watch box.

They consider a number of factors, including radar trends, instabililty, forecast soundings, areas of best forcing/moisture, etc. If a county is just outside the watch, they're not confident enough all of the parameters will quite come together for severe weather in that location.

But with the nature of convection, it's not an exact science.
 
BTW, I know memories aren't always long when it comes to weather, but Newnan was just hit with tornadoes back in October (not even 6 months ago).
 
It seems the saving grace with that cell moving over downtown Atlanta will be the surface winds are more veered than they were earlier. That should hopefully stave off anything like what happened in Newnan in terms of severity.

*knocks on wood*

It is looking increasingly nasty though, and the rotation has gotten stronger / more organized.

I know Glenn Burns said we could all go to bed, but the screaming eagle about to move over north ATL sort of has my attention.View attachment 80611View attachment 80612

Burns should be ashamed to have said that... I am still awake, not by choice, after that mother just went over my house, the continuous lightening and explosive thunder were insane.
 
And of course I am gettimg a big storm now with lots of thunder and lighning. Last week I got zilch when under a tornado watch and everything was ao hyped up. And the streak continues of getting worse storms when I am not under any kind of watch.
 
Prayers for everyone that got hit by a tornado. My uncle lives in newnan and it doesn't look good ?
 
Im very thankful the death toll hasn't been higher than what it is now. There was some bad tornadoes yesterday
 
I slept through that last line must not have been that bad. Around 230

You had damage from the storm this morning? Was it warned?
 
This brings up a subject i have campaigned for for years. I believe that on these days when there is a long-track tornado, or at least that rotation, that covers multiple cwa's and or states, that the nws should enact an emergency tracking graphics package that would show not just the tornado warning boxes, but also the history of the track. I know its hard to know for sure until after the fact, but I think more urgent emphasis and resources should be put into play with a graphics package that would show what they think to be the previous path of the long track system, along with the existing boxes. I believe that would put a lot more urgency and information in the hands of the public if they see that track, and I believe it would help save lives.

So would 220 miles break or at least tie the record for longest tracking tornado?

You could say it would be the longest reliably surveyed tornado path off all-time. Still debate over whether tri-state was down the entire time or not and we will never know for sure.

But if they do find this tornado was down the entire path it could definitely lend credence to the tri-state path length.
