Tropical Hurricane Zeta

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.

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.

Don’t like seeing that Convective tail on the hrrr, that’s just another way to bring strong winds down View attachment 51298

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
 
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.

That's way right of previous runs

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.

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..

Chris justice just showed this on Facebook! I do believe these gusts are overdone but. But wow

Yea right ahead and along the Convective tail/bands of convection you can see a spike in winds, don’t even have to get something tall either, getting something to 10000ft to access that 850mb 80kt LLJ is enough itself BFA66349-E4E5-4090-AC7D-CBAE19210390.pngCAA4DE14-640A-4014-9B29-48FF7F794FB0.png
