The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA THIS EVENING.

.SYNOPSIS...
A COMPLEX OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA AT
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH ACROSS NORTH AND
INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS EVENING. THE STORMS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH A
POWERFUL UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL BE MOVING INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WILL ISOLATED TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL...AND
DAMAGING WINDS. THE MOST LIKELY SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND

FUELING THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THIS LINE.
HIGH CAPE VALUES AND FAVORABLE LIFTED INDICES ARE HELPING TO ENHANCE
THE SEVERE THREAT ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. STRONG WIND
SHEAR WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A RISK FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER EXPECTED SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THERE IS
ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER
