Folks out I-20 around Carrollton need to pay attention just in case this one survives crossing the state line.

For you folks in SOWEGA, I am impressed with how Kerri Copello is handling tracking your storms this afternoon. I'm not familiar with your tv stations, but have been watching her on twitter. If I were you that is the station and Met I would tune in to down that way.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">STRONG STORM ALERT issued for Dougherty & Calhoun County until 5 p.m. A strong thunderstorm is near Edison, or near Morgan, moving northeast at 30 mph. Dime size hail and winds in excess of 40 mph will be possible with this storm. @wfxl #gawx pic.twitter.com/nOFU9htZeq</p>— Kerri Copello (@KerriWFXL) March 19, 2018</blockquote>

This line of training supercells blew up about an hour and a half ago in NW MS and is now moving through NE AL on a ESE path. It is a mean bunch of storms that has already produced two funnels and a good amount of hail, some as large as 2.75".

It is time for folks in the NW sector of GA, from Cartersville south to Carrollton to start paying attention to your local mets and have your wx radio on. Be prepared to take cover when alerted.

This line of brutal cells moving through N AL is moving closer to the Western border of Georgia and will enter and effect theses areas if it stays together. It has already dropped one tornado and has multiple reports of large hail across the state of AL thus far.

This line of storms is NOT playing.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">If these tornadic storms hold together, they will move into Rome around 9:30 and Cartersville around 9:50pm. @cbs46 We will be on Peachtree TV from 9-10PM tracking these storms! pic.twitter.com/7NTDcZUXQ6</p>— Ella Dorsey (@Ella__Dorsey) March 20, 2018</blockquote>

What do you think the chances are that the model is correct about the worst cells drifting East-Southeast in that watch zone layout?

This watch area is not model driven. It is real time driven based on the storms now crossing into Ga from Bama. NWS will monitor intensity and if it drops significantly they will cancel the watch early. Until then everyone in the watch area needs to monitor the weather, keep your wx radio handy and be prepared to take cover.

It’s on it’s way out up here. Reports of a brief touchdown in Dade County. Hope the rest of the night is quiet.
