[cycloneye]

Apart from the High Risk area,the Moderate Risk zone is very large so those in the states warned,be prepared and stay safe.

Just talked to the family in Tuscaloosa. They said the sun is starting to peek out. Just curious why the moderate isn't farther to the west? Better dynamics to the east?

GOES-16 imagery provided by College of DuPage can be found here.

[Alyono]

think a moderate would have sufficed for Georgia/SC today

[WeatherGuesser]

I'm on the edge of the Slight and all I've seen is a lot of wind. Very little rain even, spotty sun and clouds, but the wind will take your hat off.

[WeatherGuesser]

Currently 11 TOR and 23 SVR warnings, but many of them are in the northern part of the Moderate.
