Severe threat today in south Georgia...

Well, looky, looky what the SPC has done, placing me well within an area of slight risk for severe weather. Tomorrow, it's a discussion related to my area... Thursday, another slight risk... then, a clear weekend. :D Couldn't be better timed. For today, we wording is pretty exciting:STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES...

THE STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR COMBINED WITH MLCAPE VALUES IN THE 1000 TO 1200 J/KG RANGE IS EXPECTED TO SUPPORT A SEVERE THREAT THIS AFTERNOON. THIS COMBINED WITH 30 TO 40 KT OF FLOW JUST ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD SUPPORT A WIND DAMAGE THREAT AS THE MCS MOVES SEWD ACROSS THE REGION. IN ADDITION...0-1 KM SHEAR VALUES ARE FORECAST TO EXCEED 25 KT SUGGESTING AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WILL EXIST WITH ANY SUPERCELL THAT CAN DEVELOP. AN ENHANCED WIND DAMAGE THREAT MAY OCCUR ESPECIALLY IF THE MCS CAN GENERATE A BOWING LINE SEGMENT THIS AFTERNOON. THE SEVERE THREAT COULD AFFECT THE FL PANHANDLE AND NRN FL BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.

Gee... I wonder what I'll be doing after work today???

In addition to severe weather, we have a serious threat of some heavy and flooding rain over the course of this week. I have heard there is a potential for anywhere from 8 to 12 inches of total rainfall, and some of these areas are already recovering from the weekend's heavy rains.

5:13 PM: Show time in Georgia...

5:26 PM: Looking worse...Tornado warning in Camilla, GA is reported by spotters to have funnels dropping from it. The path is expected to move almost due east toward Moultrie, GA, and Rick is working in Lowndes.

Have a lovely day,
