  1. SPC expects the possibility of 1 or 2 tornadoes this afternoon. The threat is small enough that a Watch likely will not be issued. #gawx
  2. Rotation in tropical systems such as Beryl can often produce brief, small spin-up tornadoes along the rainbands. #gawx
  3. The Athens area and to our SE has the threat for isolated tornadoes this afternoon. #gawx fb.me/1H3oOblqZ
  4. New Post: More on Tropical Depression Beryl, a look at the week, and a video of a developing tornado:... fb.me/PkORp2ev
  5. Tonight: mostly cloudy. 60% chance of showers. Low: 68°F Tuesday: cloudy. 60% chance of showers & pm storms. High near 84°F. #gawx #athensga
  6. Stats of the day: we had a low of 68°F and a high temperature of 90°F. We recorded 0.17 inches of rain today. #gawx #athensga
  7. An outer rain band from Tropical Depression Beryl is approaching Athens/Watkinsville by 2:50pm. #gawx fb.me/1PlVoVVir
  8. @PeteNole yup... nice catch. I've been snoozing and working on other material the past hour. Haha.
  9. @itsalleternal @nsj @AndreaButera I agree. I was talking to a friend last night about how powerful 40-50mph winds can be.
  10. Best chances for rain this week = Tuesday and Friday. Friday could provide us a chance to see strong storms. Still 4 days away though. #gawx
  11. @nsj @andreabutera of course, you are right. 70mph vs 75mph storm is practically the same thing.
  12. @nsj @andreabutera for me yes. I'm tired of people complaining whether or not it should have been classified as a hurricane.
  13. @wxbunny @slines this looks like a good week to see some rain. Here's hoping!
  14. @AndreaButera so from your experiences, would you say the weather outside matched that of a tropical storm or a hurricane? Just curious.
  15. RT@GregNordstrom After taking the nrthern eyewall of Beryl right on the beach in Amelia Island, think NHC made the right call on a strong TS
  16. Looks like the outer bands of Beryl is approaching Savannah. Could see strong winds and heavy rain soon. #gawx fb.me/1maJX0fiy
  17. RT @TWC_Shawn Map of the estimated 13,000 TS #Beryl-related power outages in #Jacksonville via jea.com yfrog.com/obfn7efj
  18. RT @GregNordstrom Major power flashes on the west side of I-95 in west Jacksonville! #Beryl
  19. RT @Ants_SNEweather Tropical Storm/Hurricane..Only a name.. Either way, strong winds,coastal flooding & storm surge imminent
  20. @Ants_SNEweather haha, that's why I'm eating this tropical stuff up now while it is actually happening. You never know!
