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.
The nearest sounding before it
Peachtre/Fal Fld, GA (KFFC), launched 12:00Z, 7.2 hours before the alert went out and 212 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.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 22, 12:08 PM EDT, 3 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 12:08 PM EDT, 3 hours 4 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 1208 PM EDT SUN JUN 22 2008 .UPDATE... UPDATED FORECAST SENT...MAINLY TO ADJUST CLOUD COVER AND TEMPERATURES TO CURRENT TRENDS. I ALSO PUT LOW POPS BACK INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA FOR THE AFTERNOON AS CURRENT SATELLITE TRENDS SHOW A NICE FIELD OF MODERATE CUMULUS ACROSS THAT AREA ALREADY...INDICATING SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. THE REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKS OK FOR NOW. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 530 AM EDT SUN JUN 22 2008/ SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... LATEST RADAR SHOWS ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS MORNING. THIS IS COURTESY OF A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES THAT CONTINUE TO SWING THRU A LONG-WAVE TROUGH ANCHORED OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY. ALTHO INSTABILITIES ARE WEAK WITH LAPS SHOWING 300-500 CAPES AND -1 TO -2 LIS...SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOW SEVERAL WEAK SURFACE TROUGHS AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT. ALTHO COVERAGE OF STORMS THIS MORNING MAY DIMINISH A BIT THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...EXPECT COVERAGE AND INTENSITY TO INCREASE AGAIN BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING INSTABILITIES. MODELS SUGGEST MORNING STORM DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY SOUTH OF A ROME TO BLUE RIDGE LINE WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT SOUTHWARD TODAY...WITH THE GREATER CHANCE OF STORM DEVELOPMENT BEING GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A CARROLLTON TO ATLANTA TO ATHENS LINE BY THIS AFTERNOON...THEN SHIFTING EVEN FURTHER SOUTH BY EARLY EVENING. ALTHO NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS TODAY...WE CANNOT RULE OUT THE OCCASIONAL PULSE SEVERE STORM THIS AFTERNOON AS CAPES INCREASE INTO THE 1500-2500 RANGE WITH -4 TO -6 LIS DURING MAX HEATING. THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...BUT NO TORNADOES AS SHEAR IS VERY WEAK. THE SEVERE THREAT WILL ALSO SHIFT SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT CONVECTION TO SHIFT INTO THE FAR SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AS A SURFACE TROUGH SAGS SOUTHWARD AND SLIGHTLY DRIER MORE STABLE AIR BEGINS TO FILTER IN FROM THE NW. THIS BOUNDARY WILL STALL AND PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR MORE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ON MONDAY...BUT MAINLY SOUTH OF A COLUMBUS TO MILLEDGEVILLE LINE... ALTHO MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER UPPER DISTURBANCE COULD DRIVE A FEW MORE STORMS ACROSS NORTH GA MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE PESKY UPPER LONG-WAVE TROUGH FINALLY SHIFTS EASTWARD MONDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING A MUCH DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIRMASS TO DOMINATE ALL ZONES ON TUESDAY. MAV AND MET NUMBERS WERE CLOSE...SO LEANED TOWARD THE MAV HIGHS AND LOWS THRU THE SHORT TERM. LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ON WEDNESDAY. THEN HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN AND A SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES TO THE NORTH COULD ALLOW A FEW STORMS TO BRUSH ACROSS MAINLY NORTH GA ON THURSDAY...THEN ALL AREAS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS A DEEP... MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW SETS UP. AVIATION... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVED ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING...AND WE MAY SEE SOME SHOWERS LINGER THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. OTHER IMPACT FROM MORNING RAIN IS MVFR TO BRIEFLY IFR FOG AT SITES THAT EXPERIENCED HEAVIER AMOUNTS. THERE IS SOME CLEARING IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BUT MOISTURE FLOW FROM THE GULF WILL KEEP TAF SITES UNDER SOME CLOUD COVER MOST OF THE DAY. ANOTHER UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA MAY KICK UP MORE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING SO MAY INCLUDE A VCTS OR PROB GROUP FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. GENERALLY WEST WINDS ALL DAY...THOUGH SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT...UNDER 10KT AT ALL SITES UNLESS A THUNDERSTORM GOES OVER THE SITE. /TDP && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. THIS COMBINED WITH A SURFACE TROUGH ALREADY IN PLACE ACROSS THE STATE WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. IF SUNSHINE MANAGES TO BREAK THROUGH EARLY MORNING CLOUD COVER...CAPES ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA MAY INCREASE TO BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000 WITH LIFTED INDICES DROPPING TO BETWEEN MINUS 4 AND MINUS 6. PULSE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND WITH THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY...AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE STORM THAT DEVELOPS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA ON MONDAY...ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA ON THURSDAY...AND ACROSS ALL OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
