Tropical Hurricane Zeta

[gawxnative]

Opal had some speed on it!

If I recall correctly Opal had forward speed of 20-30 mph.

This will likely be worse than Irma for Atlanta, yet it received half of the hype lol

Jim Cantore just said parts of Atlanta could see hurricane gusts. And that it’s about to speed up. So we will see. Atl is still in the thick of it.

No denying that for sure!

Exactly!!!

I think Jim is right for places like Newnan, Douglasville, Lithia Springs, Marietta, Kennesaw, and Canton, where I could see some of them possibly getting close to 75 mph! Downtown ATL may see 65 or so and Hartsfield 60 or so...these are my latest guesses fwiw. History, folks, is on the way that may not be repeated for several decades!

Edit: I'm increasing Hartsfield max gusts to potentially 65 mph because the station is elevated well above the ground I think. I wasn't thinking about that before.

Am I seeing things or is Zeta firing more hot towers near its core????

Don’t like seeing that Convective tail on the hrrr, that’s just another way to bring strong winds down

Who would have thought seeing Tropical Storm Warnings in Roanoke VA, from a LOUISIANA LANDFALL!

Yep and the eye is becoming better defined and clearer. Nuts!

Great state and county maps to monitor your state's power outages and shows the progression of winds:

It's showing gust close to 60 mph all the way across the state, I'm assuming this convective line is the catalyst to get those winds to the surface

That's way right of previous runs

The Blizzard of 93 and Opal were probably the two most significant weather events of my 51 years. I was in Carrollton for both events. I greatly under estimated what Opal would do. It moved through over night as well. I was blown away with what I saw when the sun came up.

Will be interesting to see how this event compares. Good luck to all. Be safe. Be prepared.

I mean this is impressive

Yeah I was wondering if it was, haven't looked at the models too closely today but was thinking it had more rain east than previous runs... thanks for the confirmation.

Every one of these you have shared today, the center has been just right of track

Which would put me in the bullseye later on. Great.

Another thing to consider is zeta appears to be tracking a bit east of NAM and HRRR.. also HRRR highlights that axis of maximum winds closer to KATL..
