Does anyone have a feel for whether or not the band of storms near the AL/GA border could potentially produce anything severe later in the ATL area? Right now it has no severe warmed storms and I was hoping that what is going through now will be it.

If it’s any consolation Fox5 news just said “rest assured, it will not be severe”
 
That Thomason tornado south of Atlanta is provably going to be an EF3 possibly 4. That couplet was wicked. Also the college park tornado inside the perimeter may not have been that strong but was through a highly populated area.
 
New tornado warning in Oconee Co, Northern Anderson, Southern Pickens
 
I think the lack of daytime heating and storms coming in at night really help metro Atlanta. Although, we say tornadoes in the area, I thought it was going to be real bad. I am thankful it wasn't. Now, I can get excited about my birthday on Thursday!!!! Good Night all! Until next time!
 
Wow!! That was nuts. I don’t know if there was a tornado or not (no warning where I live) but I know that doesn’t always mean anything. Anywho, saw 2-3 green power flashes and got everyone into a safe spot including me. Probably the windiest I have seen it here in a long time.

CAPE > 1000-1500 j/kg is advancing rapidly into the southwestern piedmont of NC, this is considerably more than what the 3km NAM & HRRR showed yesterday. Not good.

IMO the short term hi-res models didn’t handle this well at all. They kept dropping is below 600 cape and from about 0z runs until now quickly ramped it back up to showing around 1500 here. That line was nuts.
 
I’m done for the night. Very heavy rain and very strong winds here. Had over 2 inches of rain and probably some 60-70 MPH wind gusts. I even heard a few crashing noises in my backyard. Everyone yet to be impacted by this storm be safe and prayers to all those already hit hard as well as prayers to those who may be hit hard in the coming hours.
 
I'm very surprised there isn't more rotation in the cells approaching the midlands, considering the environment. I'll take it, though!

Edit: Calhoun Falls cell in GA/SC probably needs to be watched starting now, nothing yet, though.
 
Smyrna, NC cell is very close... but would probably miss CLT at this point.
 
Well, I somehow woke up and actually saw two tornado warnings close by. I think both would miss honestly...but it's too late, this one feels like it's gonna be loud anyway so I'm gonna need to hang on for a bit to be sure.
