SVR Jasper/Clarke

* NWS has pulled the trigger on a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Clarke and Jasper counties until 4:45 pm. The storm in question is moving through east-central Jasper County, right over Paulding right now. On its current track, it will affect places like Pachuta, Quitman, Stonewall, and Barnett.

* Main threat with this storm is gusty winds, maybe some small hail as well. This storm is over 55,000 feet tall, so its updraft is quite strong. When it collapses, there is certainly a threat of a downburst. That would mean some intense winds.

* Here's the warning:
