NEW: Tornado Watch has been *extended* through 7AM ET for most of the Chattahoochee Valley. We cannot give an all clear just yet. The threat for spin up tornado...es will continue into the overnight as the center of Claudette moves near by. Again, for most it will be a rainy night, always good the have the WTVM Weather App and your NOAA Weather Radio operational in case a warning is issued. We'll keep you updated! - Meteorologist Radek Przygodzki WTVM

Here is the latest on Tropical Depression #Claudette. Widespread rain and scattered storms are expected to continue overnight and through tomorrow. The Flash Flood Watch has been expanded north and east, and remains in effect until 8 PM EDT Sunday. #gawx

*Be sure to check the WTVM weather app for the latest FutureCast* We can't rule out a brief, spin-up tornado on Saturday. This is common with tropical systems,... and luckily these storms are small, brief, and mostly weak. That doesn't mean there isn't a danger, however - we'll be watching, especially during the afternoon, evening, and early nighttime hours. You can keep up with things on the TV side and the WTVM weather app all day. Heavy rain will be the main concern, and we will watch for the flood threat in the spots that pick up the heaviest rain. Look for improvements to the weather later on Sunday, especially late in the day! Anna is back on TV at 7 AM with the absolute latest! -DK See more

New Year’s Eve - New Year’s Day... Split flow pattern between sub tropical and polar jet streams is currently evolutionizing, eventually becoming influenced by ...back to back cut-off lows’ with the leading one being the primary concern for severe weather, as it moves over northern Mexico, neutralized, with a southern stream jet max ejecting out of it’s base and further enhancing wind trajectories in favor of divergence down shear the primary cyclonic maxima lifting towards the Dixie alley and the Ohio valley regions- becoming negative tilted in response. Lower levels showing cyclogenesis rapidly developing over southern texas, moving towards the Arklatex region, with strong 60KT low level shear cranking up, and a northward moist flux of 60 degree dew points setting up a warm sector with the primary forcing for ascent being a cold front(as low level convergence strengthens with approach of a mid level pressure perturbation)... Long range models are currently showing marginal, but supportive convective lapse rates(LRs’). *A severe weather threat maybe increasing for New Years if these marginal thermodynamical profiles continues to trend* #AmericaWeather

It was a white Christmas in Zanesville, OH

Our 5 day forecast shows that the next weather system will move through on Thursday, bringing mostly rain, though we could see a very brief change to snow late in north GA. We are expecting little to no accumulation at this time. Christmas Day looks to be cold! #gawx

Hello, old man winter

A wave of light rain is expected to move through north and central Georgia this evening into the overnight hours. Some light snow could mix with the rain across the higher elevations of northeast Georgia early tomorrow (Monday) morning, but no accumulations are expected. #gawx

Rain showers expected to move through the forecast area this morning through the evening, with some isolated thunderstorms south of I-20 and I-85. No severe threat is expected with this system, just a quarter of an inch to an inch of rainfall with some higher amounts locally.

As showers and thunderstorms move out of the state, winds are increasing across north and central Georgia. Breezy winds of 20-25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph are expected through the early afternoon today. #gawx

By the way, it's getting ready to get cold!

Good job my friend

Eta is back to hurricane strength, but this should not be a hurricane that will rapidly strengthen as shear and cooler Gulf of Mexico waters will keep it steady... or weaken it. Eta is expected to hit the northwest coast of Florida tomorrow morning with strong winds, heavy rain and a storm surge of up to 5 feet. Flooding and even a few waterspouts and tornadoes are expected today through Thursday. Be prepared and follow Eta with the RadarOmega app. #radaromega #Eta #HurricaneEta #flwx See more

We're watching the track of now Tropical Depression Eta carefully - by the middle and end of next week, there is a chance it can make it into the Gulf of Mexico... and could bring some rain into our neck of the woods. I'll have more info for you on the TV side of things at 10 & 11 PM ET tonight with the latest from the National Hurricane Center. -DK See more

A Freeze Warning has been issued for portions of far northeast Georgia tonight where temperatures are expected to fall to around 30 degrees. A Frost Advisory has been issued for the remainder of north Georgia and much of central Georgia. Temperatures in the middle 30s, combined with clear skies and light winds could lead to areas of frost. https://troupcountybreakingnews.com/a-frost-advisory-is-in-

After producing life-threatening flooding across Central America, Eta will head back into the Caribbean this weekend. Where it goes from there is very much up in the air...

Skies will clear from west to east through the afternoon behind a cold front, setting us up for the coldest night of the season so far. A Freeze Warning has been issued for the areas shaded in purple where lows are most likely to reach freezing by Monday morning. #gawx

Those wind gusts are rolling in hard

NEW TORNADO WARNING! #GAWX! MANCHESTER, GA

A second tornado warning is up now. #Gawx

#URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED #Tornado Watch Number 498 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1245 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2020 #Gawx #alwx... The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Much of eastern Alabama West central Georgia * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 1245 PM until 800 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Isolated damaging wind gusts to 60 mph possible SUMMARY...Scattered mini supercells are expected in a broken band from eastern Alabama into west central Georgia through this evening, to the east of the weakening remnants of tropical cyclone Delta. The storm environment will be sufficient for a few tornadoes, and perhaps isolated strong/damaging gusts. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 45 statute miles east and west of a line from 45 miles northwest of Atlanta GA to 30 miles southwest of Dothan AL. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 497... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 0 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 50 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 20035.

The severe weather outlook for Saturday - likely the late evening or night, or even overnight- has crept in to our East Alabama counties. Even there, we won’t h...ave widespread problems, but being on the fringe of the circulation of Delta, a spin up tornado or stronger storm can’t be ruled out. A large, large majority of us will just see some rain! See more

UPDATE: Winds at 130 mph, now a Cat 4. Delta a Cat 3: Winds at 115 mph right now, as it continues to rapidly strengthen. On the projected track, heavy rain will... be possible on Saturday around here with the greatest potential for spin-up tornadoes perhaps overnight into Sunday morning. Plenty of unknowns still on the board, so we will keep watching. See more

Here are the Key Messages regarding Tropical Storm Sally, issued by NHC at 4 p.m. CDT Wednesday - www.hurricanes.gov

#tropicsRain inbound! Remember, flash flood watch is in effect through Thursday/Friday. The 2% / 5% indicators are the storm prediction center hashing out the areas tornadoes could be favorable. Please do not panic, these are spin up opportunities, not deviating super cells. We're currently not in the 2% area, highlighted in green. #Sally there's also a mesoscale discussion in blue or a potential watch area indicated. We'll keep an eye on changing conditions in our area, should we need to be more Weather alert later on. Never let your guard down! Flash flooding is possible! High wind gusts, and spin up weak tornados later on. #Gawx #TroupWeather

BREAKING: Hurricane Sally has just been upgraded to a Category 2 storm with sustained winds of 100 mph https://bit.ly/2ZcBYb3

The latest track of Tropical Storm Sally. A landfalling hurricane is expected between the LA and AL shoreline. Sally then moves northeast towards the Valley as a weak area of low pressure. Main theme will be heavy rain! Anna is in at 5AM ET! - Radek

Here are the Key Messages regarding Tropical Depression Nineteen, issued by NHC at 11 a.m. EDT Saturday. www.hurricanes.gov

SUNDAY TROPICAL UPDATE INVEST-92L is getting better organized this morning, with increasing spin on satellite, but needs more thunderstorms before it can b...ecome a tropical depression. 92L will push to the west-northwest into the central Atlantic over the next several days, where conditions will be favorable for it to become a depression or storm. The National Hurricane Center gives it a high 90% chance of development over the next 5 days. Behind 92L, a vigorous tropical wave is pushing off the west African Coast today, and has been labeled INVEST-93L. 93L is likely to become a tropical depression or storm as it pushes westward across the eastern tropical Atlantic over the next few days. Right now, the National Hurricane Center gives it a high 80% chance of development. Models unanimously develop 92L & 93L, but it’s too early to know if they will affect land. It’s worth mentioning that models still signal a path out to sea, but have trended west over the past day. Either way, both disturbances are over 3000 miles away from the United States, so plenty of time to watch! Meanwhile, a tropical wave in the central Caribbean has flared up over the past day or so. Conditions are favorable for slow development over the next couple of days, however, once it reaches the western Caribbean midweek, upper level winds will become hostile, likely halting any organization. The National Hurricane Center gives this disturbance a low 10% chance of development over the next 5 days. Yet another area of disturbed weather has developed near Bermuda overnight. Conditions will be somewhat favorable for slow development as it slides west-northwest over the next several days towards the Carolinas. The National Hurricane Center gives this disturbance a low 20% chance of development. Models are becoming more aggressive with developing this feature, and I expect the development chances to go up. Next names are PAULETTE, RENE, and SALLY. By the way, only six more names left until the Greek Alphabet! The only time that ever happened was the historic 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Incredible forecasting. I'm sure it saved some lives.

Tropical Storm Laura is the swirling area of clouds centered over northern Louisiana and southern Arkansas, as seen on this visible satellite image from around ...4:55 PM this afternoon. Georgia may be three states away, but the high-altitude cirrus clouds over parts of Georgia today are from the outermost portion of Laura's circulation! #gawx See more

Hurricane #Laura update #tropics Note: This is NOT expected to impact West Central Georgia! This is general updated information by the National Hurricane Center.

New NHC forecast package is out. A Hurricane Warning is now in effect from San Luis Pass Texas to Intracoastal City Louisiana. They note since the storm has be...en tracking west of forecast expectations for quite some time, future westward track adjustments could be required later today. Still expected to be a powerful hurricane at the time of landfall tomorrow night. Do not focus on the details of the official forecast given the typical uncertainty in NHC's track and intensity predictions. Storm surge, wind, and rainfall hazards will extend well away from Laura's center along the Gulf Coast. CENTRAL GULF COAST: Dangerous rip currents are likely through Friday from Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach. But, other than a stiff south breeze and occasional tropical showers, there will be no direct weather impact from Laura tomorrow and Thursday in this region. The dangerous storm surge and highs winds will be far to the west. INLAND ALABAMA: The primary threat of tornadoes associated with the system Thursday, for now, seems to be west of Alabama over parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Deep tropical moisture will bring potential for some heavy rain to parts of Alabama Friday. (The rain we are experiencing today is from Marco, now a remnant low).

https://troupcountybreakingnews.com/here-is-the-5-pm-update

A weak cold front pushing into the area will increase the chance for scattered showers & storms today, mainly along and south of I-85. It's not quite "cool" weather, but Tuesday morning lows will be more pleasant in north GA behind the front. #gawx

Beautiful mackerel sky over Columbus this morning! These altocumulus clouds resemble fish scales, hence their nickname. Waves moving through the upper atmos...phere help to create them. And any time you see these clouds, they are typically a harbinger to rain or changing weather both of which are in the forecast for us today! : Janis Everhart

Shower & thunderstorm coverage will be lower today with chances mainly along and north of I-85. The trade-off will be hot afternoon temperatures well into the 90s for most areas. Heat index values will be even hotter , so stay hydrated if outdoors! #gawx
