Severe New Years Severe Weather Event

16z hrrr simulated radar for 3 oclock todayView attachment 100248
Seems like FFC is at least keeping a keen eye on this short window this afternoon for some pretty strong storms

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
1133 AM EST Fri Dec 31 2021

.UPDATE...

Dense morning fog has largely become more diffuse at this hour,
though a few holdout sites are still reporting visibilities
occasionally a mile or less. Visibilities in these areas will
continue to improve through early afternoon. How the afternoon and
evening forecast plays out is still rather uncertain. The forecast
area remains situated in the weakly forced warm sector. We have
already seen some isolated showers and a thunderstorm or two
across portions of north Georgia this morning. If additional
convection is able to develop and sustain itself this afternoon
and evening, the environment would be capable of supporting an
isolated severe threat. A couple of recent CAM runs have supported
the idea of a couple of isolated cells of supercellular appearance in
north Georgia by late afternoon and early evening, so this
potential will be monitored. Otherwise, it will remain another
very warm day with record breaking highs again possible.

Latest Hrrr certainly shows some storms this afternoon and evening. Will have to see if/how strong they are. Certainly something by to watch.9E72B7FA-0010-477C-B037-F9A2AB23B5E2.gif
 
Latest SPC mesoscale discussion on Alabama severe potential this afternoon. Still seems rather conditional and they mention the hrrr as an outlier. Will have to monitor trends.82548F22-573C-4262-BCC8-8A7AEE437999.jpeg
