Counties Dade County, GA, Walker County, GA

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 171 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 2:57 PM EDT, 2 hours 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
257 PM EDT MON JUN 9 2008

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

LARGE HEAT RIDGE THAT HAS DOMINATED THE AREA FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS WILL SOON SLIDE EAST...AS CAN BE INFERRED FROM WEAK HEIGHT
FALLS THROUGHOUT THE RIDGE ON THE 12Z 500MB ANALYSIS. NEXT SYSTEM
GEARING UP IN THE PLAINS WILL AFFECT THE SOUTHEAST TOWARD MIDWEEK.
IN THE MEANTIME...SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE
RETREATING SURFACE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW THESE ISOLATED
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY IN
WEST AND NORTH GEORGIA AIDED BY OROGRAPHIC LIFT.

GFS IS...AS USUAL...LADEN WITH CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AS THE FRONT
PROGRESSES EAST. THE SYSTEM MAY BE TOO DEEP BECAUSE OF THIS AND AS
A RESULT HAVE TAKEN A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE GFS AND THE NAM WITH
BOTH POPS AND TEMPS. GFS POPS NOT AS HIGH AS NAM POPS AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH...THINK THAT CONTINUED LATENT HEAT BOMBS ARE
FOCUSING MOISTURE AWAY FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND THAT NAM MAY HAVE A
BETTER HANDLE ON QPF AND AREAL COVERAGE OF POPS.

AFTER FRONT MOVES THROUGH...RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN ALOFT WEDNESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY. LARGE
UPPER LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE ROCKIES COMBINED WITH LOW OVER
SOUTHEAST CANADA PUTS THE GREAT LAKES IN A CONFLUENT ZONE ALLOWING
A SURFACE HIGH TO DEVELOP IN THIS AREA. CONSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW
OVER THE SOUTHEAST KEEPS US IN A MOIST REGIME FOR THE END OF THE
SHORT-TERM...ALLOWING POPS TO REMAIN IN THE FORECAST.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD AT THE BEGINNING
OF THE EXTENDED IN A WEAK CAD-LOOKALIKE SETUP WILL BRING
TEMPERATURES OUT OF THE 90S AND BACK INTO THE 80S ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA...DESPITE THE STRONG RIDGE ALOFT. EXTENDED MODELS IN
DECENT AGREEMENT ON THIS PATTERN FOR THE MOST PART. STRONG LOW IN
THE NORTHERN PLAINS PUSHES A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS
TOWARD THE WEEKEND...BUT THE ECMWF IS MUCH WEAKER ON THIS THAN THE
GFS...KEEPING THE UPPER RIDGE MUCH STRONGER AND DELAYING THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED SOLUTION
BASED ON THESE DIFFERENCES...BUT IN ANY EVENT WE SHOULD SEE A
RETURN TO CLOSER-TO-NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH INCREASED CHANCES OF
PRECIPITATION.

.FIRE WEATHER...

NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTH AND WEST
CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE REGION TODAY. INCREASED
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALLOW SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

.DISCUSSION...
GOOD SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW UNDER THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS BRINGING IN
WARM GULF MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION. THIS MOISTURE IS CONFINED TO
THE LOWEST LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH DRY CONDITIONS ABOVE 800
MILLIBARS. AS TEMPERATURES INCREASE TO THE 90S ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA TODAY...CAPES ARE EXPECTED AROUND 1200...WITH LIFTED INDICES IN
THE MINUS 2 TO MINUS 5 RANGE. WHILE THERE IS VERY LITTLE UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT TO ALLOW STORMS TO BECOME ORGANIZED...THE INSTABILITY WILL
ALLOW FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. WITH
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TODAY...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL
INCREASE TO BETWEEN 100 AND 105 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED EACH DAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.
