Dahlonega Weather Monday 1230p Tropical Storm Irma Update

The affect of Tropical Storm Irma are staring to increase. So far I’ve recorded several winds gusts over 30 mph and that will only increase as we head through the afternoon. Irma is currently just across the GA/Fl border tracking to the NW. The rest of the day Irma will move towards Columbus and then into western Alabama. Rain, heavy at times, will continue to rotate into our area and give us widespread 2-4 inch amounts.

Now the greatest impact will be the high winds which will likely cause power outages around the area. The greatest threat will be from about 5pm until 10pm as that is when the winds are expected to peak with gusts to 50+ mph. Perhaps some higher gusts will occur at elevations over 3,000 ft. Right now we are pretty much in Nowcast mode where we just wait for everything to unfold and happen as expected. So far everything is going as expected.

Stay safe and updates will continue to flow.

Jason

3. Dahlonega Weather September 11, 2017 at 2:45 pm

1. Dahlonega Weather September 11, 2017 at 3:10 pm
  
  Yeah Blairsville isn’t supposed to get high winds. Count your blessings. 🙂
Nikie Yant Schneider September 11, 2017 at 3:28 pm

It’s very calm here, off Mill Creek Church, too. Just rain and very little wind.
1. Dahlonega Weather September 11, 2017 at 3:35 pm
  
  Hard to believe you have little wind while I’m gusting over 30mph frequently. Weird indeed…
2. Nikie Yant Schneider September 11, 2017 at 3:37 pm
  
  We’re kind of in a hole? Maybe that’s why we’re not seeing that much wind… But it has been mostly calm all day.

Thank you for the updates Jason. It is appreciated. I always look to Dahlonega weather for the every day forecast.

Here off Old Dahlonega Hwy we are experiencing gusting winds. Very little rain right now.
I am glad I got home from work an hour ago. Be safe everyone.
Al Parten September 11, 2017 at 5:41 pm

Getting some strong gusts about a mile down Washega/ Camp road. Just heard a loud boom that shook the house. Must have been a very large tree falling somewhere close.
Mamie Wade September 11, 2017 at 9:33 pm

I live off of Siloam church road on the top of a steep hill. Power is out. But the wind is completely terrifying where I’m at.
Regina Salazar September 11, 2017 at 10:13 pm
