Cold Here... And Nasty Weather In The Far South

Well, it's cold here and cloudy - so we're heading down to the deep South.

There you can see some pretty impressive supercell thunderstorms & LOTS of tornado warnings. It's been absolutely insane down there. I've been watching some storm chaser live video footage throughout the afternoon and early evening. Also, they are interesting to follow on radar - earlier a storm with rotation went just to the north of the city of Atlanta, GA.

If you're at all interested in severe weather, take a close look at this picture (you can click it to make it bigger), because we'll be showing you similar images on our KDLT Weather Blog once severe weather season starts for us in the Sioux Empire. Those pink-colored boxes are representing tornado warnings, and the red boxes are severe thunderstorm warnings. If you look closely, most of what you see on that image is over Georgia, with some of eastern Alabama.

Here's a more zoomed in radar image from the storm just to the north of Atlanta:

We'll see if there are any confirmed tornadoes after this storm and the many others fairly soon - and we'll be hoping that if there were any that they went into less populated or just completely unpopulated regions.

That's it for your severe weather update tonight... have a great night & make sure you bundle up!
