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.

NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 29, 3:43 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 3:43 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 343 PM EDT SUN JUN 29 2008 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... ANOMALOUS DEEP UPPER TROUGH IN THE NE U.S. DRIVING AN UNUSUALLY STRONG EARLY SUMMER COLD FRONT INTO THE SE U.S. THIS WILL COMBINE WITH ABUNDANT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO BRING SHRA/TSRA TO THE CWA NEXT 12 HOURS AND TO THE FAR SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA INTO MON. MAIN CONCERN FOR SHORT TERM...FIRST PERIOD...IS THREAT FOR SHRA/TSRA AND THREAT FOR SEVERE. GIVEN THE FRONT...PROGGED INSTABILITY OF 2000 J/KG CAPE...LIS TO -4...AND BETTER THAN NORMAL LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...30-35 KT WESTERLY LOW-LEVEL WINDS CENTRAL GA...THREAT FOR SEVERE APPEARS TO BE BETTER THAN JUST THE NORMAL ISOLD DIURNAL PULSE VARIETY. HOWEVER...EXTENSIVE LOW/MID CLOUDS INTO EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA LEFT THE AREA MORE STABLE THAN RECENTLY AND HAS SO FAR LIMITED SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT AND EQUALLY INTENSITY. CLOUDS BEGAN TO BREAK OUT 17-18Z AND DEVELOPMENT OF SHRA/TSRA BEGAN AT THAT TIME. TWO AREAS OF INITIAL DEVELOPMENT NOTED...ONE AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN N AL/N GA...THE FRONT OF WHICH APPEARS TO BE ALONG A BNA-GWO LINE AT 18Z...AND ANOTHER IN CENTRAL AL WHICH IS PUSHING INTO SC GA. THIS IS WHERE THE MOST HEATING OCCURRED EARLIER. AIR MASS APPEARS TO BE QUITE TROPICAL AND SATURATED AND SO FAR THIS HAS LIMITED SEVERE POTENTIAL. 12Z FFC SOUNDING SHOWED THE AIR MASS WAS ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT MORE STABLE THAN AT THIS TIME YESTERDAY. NONETHELESS...THE THREAT FOR SVR EXISTS GIVEN THE BETTER THAN NORMAL DYNAMICS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND A SVR WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 01Z. STILL THINKING THAT SEVERE WILL BE ISOLD OVERALL. MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR PRIOR TO THE 00Z ZONE INITIALIZATION TIME...BUT WILL NEED TO HOLD ONTO AT LEAST HIGH CHANCE POPS UNTIL 06Z...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SE HALF OF THE CWA. MUCH DRIER AIR BEGINS TO FILTER INTO THE CWA FROM THE NW AFTER 06Z. SOME LOW POPS WARRANTED ACROSS THE SE PART OF THE CWA AFT 06Z AS FRONT DRIFTS INTO THAT AREA. FOR MON...SOME MOISTURE LINGERS ACROSS THE EXTREME SE PART OF THE CWA AS THE FRONT LINGERS IN THAT AREA. UPPER SUPPORT TO PUSH THE SYSTEM OUT OF THE AREA UNUSUALLY STRONG FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THIS. THUS...AFT 00Z TUE...WILL REMOVE POPS FROM THE ENTIRE CWA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM. MAV MOS...AS HAS OFTEN BEEN THE CASE RECENTLY...APPEARS TO BE WAY TOO COOL FOR MIN TEMPS TONIGHT. WARMER MET MOS APPEARS MORE REASONABLE...SO HAVE DEFINITELY LEANED IN THAT DIRECTION. CLOUD COVER TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN FAIRLY UNIFORM AND MILD LOW TEMPS. FOR MON...SUNSHINE NORTH WILL OFFSET COOLER/DRIER AIR MASS. CLOUD COVER SOUTH WILL HOLD TEMPS DOWN THERE. TEMPS MON SHOULD BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM TEMPS...FEEL THAT MAV MOS WAY TOO COOL FOR MIN TEMPS TUE-WED AND INCONSISTENT WITH GRIDDED MOS DATA. HAVE WARMED ALL AREAS SEVERAL DEGREES. JUST DO NOT SEE LOWS IN THE LOW 50S AROUND JULY 1ST. .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE MID PART OF THE WEEK APPEARS TO BE A REPEAT OF LAST WEEKS PATTERN WITH A UNUSUALLY DRY AIR MASS PRESENT OVER THE REGION TUE-WED AS THE POLAR VORTEX ONCE AGAIN BECOMES ANOMALOUSLY DEEP FOR SUMMER. HOWEVER...MOISTURE RETURNS IN EARNEST FOR THE LATER HALF OF THE EXTENDED. THE NE U.S. UPPER TROUGH LIFTS OUT AND THE BERMUDA RIDGE AND UPPER SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BECOME FIRMLY ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE SE U.S. WEAK LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE MID SOUTH BETWEEN THE SW U.S. UPPER HIGH AND THE UPPER HIGH OFF THE SE U.S. COAST. THIS PUTS THE MID SOUTH AND SE STATES IN A VERY MOIST...TROPICAL FLOW. SUPPORT IS BETTER THAN NORMAL FOR SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA DURING THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK. FOR NOW HAVE STOPPED AT 40 PERCENT POPS GIVEN DAY-TO-DAY UNCERTAINTY...BUT THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR TO BE A GOOD BET...STARTING IN CENTRAL AREAS THU...AND ALL AREAS FRI-SUN. THE NEXT ADVERTISED FRONT AT THIS POINT APPEARS TO BE HELD UP WELL NORTH OF THE CWA...SO SHOULD NOT IMPACT THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES WILL CREEP BACK CLOSER TO NORMAL VALUES. HIGH HUMIDITY WILL RESULT IN INCREASINGLY WARM...MUGGY NIGHTS...BUT DAYTIME TEMPS WILL GENERALLY BE HELD INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S.
