The radar

The Atlanta radar (KFFC), 34 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 02:50 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 00:00Z, 2.8 hours before the alert went out and 29 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 Mar 14, 6:45 PM EDT, 4 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 14, 6:45 PM EDT, 4 hours 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
645 PM EDT FRI MAR 14 2008

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
FIRST SHORT WAVE MOVING FROM OHIO VALLEY TO ATLANTIC COAST THIS
EVENING. PATCHES OF RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
DIMINISH OVER THE CWA TONIGHT BEHIND THIS WAVE. SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT MOISTURE NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT...KEEPING
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES ON THE MILD SIDE. NEXT SHORT WAVE NOW IN
CENTRAL STATES WILL APPROACH THE CWA SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WITH
STILL SOME DIFFERENCES ON WHERE THE SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE.
INDICATIONS ARE THE AIR MASS OVER THE CWA WILL BE UNSTABLE ON
SATURDAY...WITH LOW LEVEL JET AND STRONG SHEAR PROFILES.
POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STILL NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. HOWEVER...MODELS
WANT TO PUT BULK OF MOISTURE OVER NORTH GEORGIA AND INTO
TENNESSEE...GIVING FAIRLY LOW CHANCES TO THE CENTRAL ZONES. FOR
NOW...WILL GIVE LIKELY POPS FOR THE NORTHERN THIRD TOMORROW...AND
CHANCE ELSEWHERE. THIS SHOULD EXTEND THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...BEFORE DIMINISHING DURING THE EVENING AS SHORT WAVE
PULLS TO THE NORTHEAST. RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE AREA THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT. MAY BE WINDY SATURDAY NIGHT AS WAVE MOVES TO THE
ATLANTIC COAST. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR WIND ADVISORY.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
NO CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED. UPPER RIDGE HOLDING OVER THE
SOUTHEAST THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH NEXT FRONT APPROACHING THE CWA
WEDNESDAY. DRYING AGAIN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
PRIMARY CONCERN IS LIFR CIGS/VSBYS DEVELOPING AFTER MIDNIGHT. FIRST
SYSTEM MOVING EAST OVER SRN APPALACHIANS BUT FRONT WILL REMAIN NORTH
OF THE STATE. NEXT SYSTEM IN SRN ROCKIES ALSO MOVING QUICKLY TOWARD
US ALLOWING SLY FLOW TO RETURN IN EARNEST SAT MORNING. WITH MOIST
GROUND AND LOW LEVEL AIRMASS...STATIONARY FRONT WITH ASSOCIATED
LIGHT AND VARIABLE SFC WINDS...AND CONSIDERABLE DRYING ALOFT IN WAKE
OF FIRST SYSTEM...EXPECT FOG AND STRATUS DEVELOPMENT AFTER MIDNIGHT.
SUBJECTIVE OPINION THAT WE WILL GO TO LIFR AT MOST AIRPORTS.
GUIDANCE SEEMS TO SUPPORT THIS.  WILL LIKELY TAKE DOWN CIGS/VSBYS TO
IFR...AROUND 08Z WITH TEMPO LIFR 10Z-14Z.

AS LOW LEVEL FLOW RESPONDS TO DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST
09-12Z...WILL BRING SFC WINDS BACK TO SELY. MAY BE HARD TO CLEAR
CIGS/VSBYS WITH THIS FLOW. ONCE S TO SW WINDS KICK IN AFTER 18Z...
SHOULD CLEAR RAPIDLY. TRAFFIC FLOW ORIENTATION AT KATL WILL BE AN
ISSUE WITH WIND SHIFT TO SW OCCURRING AROUND 20Z-21Z. KCSG AND KMCN
WILL CLEAR MORE QUICKLY WHILE KAHN MAY REMAIN SOCKED TIL MID
AFTERNOON.
