AWIPS images of 1-km resolution MODIS 0.65 \u00c2\u00b5m visible channel and 11.0 \u00c2\u00b5m InfraRed (IR) channel images with an overlay of METAR surface reports and SPC storm reports<\/a><\/strong> (above)<\/em><\/strong> displayed a number of distinct banded convective features across parts of the Southeast US at 16:04 UTC or 11:04 AM local time on 30 January 2013<\/a><\/strong>. This banded structure could also be seen on a sequence of 1-km resolution POES AVHRR visible<\/a><\/strong> and IR<\/a><\/strong> images. In northwestern Georgia, note the isolated convective feature that produced a cluster of tornado and damaging wind reports — one of these tornadoes (rated EF-3) was responsible for a fatality in Adairsville, Georgia (NWS Peachtree City GA event summary<\/a><\/strong>), which ended a record 220-day streak with no tornado fatalities in the US.<\/p>\n

Large amounts of moisture were being transported northward from the Gulf of Mexico ahead of the advancing cold frontal boundary — Blended Total Precipitable Water (TPW) values were in the 30-40 mm or 1.2-1.6 inch range (above; animation<\/a>),<\/em><\/strong> and these TPW values were in excess of 200% of normal for this region and this time of the year (below; animation<\/a>)<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
