Wow… you don’t see too many “large and extremely dangerous” tornadoes in a tropical system like this.
There have also been tornado warnings in South Georgia this afternoon. SPC does not have a formal severe weather risk for the Deep South tomorrow, and I still don’t expect any serious tornado issues up here over the weekend. But, with tropical storms expect the unexpected. We will be watching closely.
