Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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.

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 Apr 10, 10:33 PM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 10:33 PM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
1033 PM EDT FRI APR 10 2009

.UPDATE...
ALLOWED TORNADO WATCH 134 TO EXPIRE AT 10 PM. MOST ACTIVE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH POSSIBLE TORNADOES HAVE SHIFTED INTO
CENTRAL GA. CURRENT RADAR MOSAIC INDICATES THE COLD FRONT MOVING
THROUGH NORTH GA. AT THIS TIME IT IS LOCATED FROM ATHENS THROUGH
ATLANTA TO NEAR LAGRANGE. WILL ADJUST WORDING IN ZONES TO REFLECT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ENDED NORTH OF THE FRONT. UNABLE TO
GET AN UPPER AIR SOUNDING THIS EVENING DUE TO CONTINUOUS STORMS AND
LIGHTNING AROUND FFC.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 523 PM EDT FRI APR 10 2009/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH RISK OF SEVERE TSTMS AND 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF TORNADOES HAS
DEVELOPED OVER NORTHWEST GA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE 18Z FFC
SOUNDING SHOWS THE ATMOSPHERE HAS DESTABILIZED QUICKLY WITH THE
DIURNAL HEATING. LI MINUS 5.3...CAPE 1800 J/KG...AND SR HELICITY
OF 317. ALSO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED WITH THE STRONG TSTMS...
PW 1.1 INCH AND K INDEX OF 37. HOWEVER...STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
MOVE AT 50 MPH SO INTENSE...BUT BRIEF HEAVY RAIN SHOULD OCCUR WITH
TEMPORARY STREET FLOODING OR PONDING ON ROADS. ALL SEVERE TSTM
PARAMETERS ARE BEING MET WITH THE POTENTIAL OF GOLF BALL SIZED
HAIL.

WITH THE STRONG LLJ MOVING INTO THE AREA...WILL BE CONTINUING THE
WIND ADVISORY FOR THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH MIDNIGHT.

UPPER LOW IS ABSORBED BY LONGWAVE TROUGH AND IS ONLY A SHORTWAVE
IMPULSE BY THE TIME THE SYSTEM MOVES OUT ON SATURDAY. HIGH
AMPLITUDE PATTERN IN PLACE ALLOWS A COOL HIGH PRESSURE TO SLIDE
EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND RIDGE DOWN THE EASTERN SLOPES OF
THE APPALACHIANS ON SUNDAY. CURRENT ADVERTISED HIGH TEMPS MAY BE
TOO WARM AS CLASSICAL CAD SETS UP. THIS WILL BE A FACTOR ON MONDAY
AS MEANWHILE ANOTHER SYSTEM GEARS UP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

MERGED MAV AND MET GUIDANCE FOR MIN TEMPS TONIGHT AND MAX TEMPS
SATURDAY. POPS WERE INCREASED AROUND 10 PERCENT OVER NORTH GA
THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...MAV MOS GUIDANCE WAS GENERALLY ACCEPTED
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

ECMWF (00Z RUN) IS SLOWER THAN THE GFS WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM...
WHICH IS PROBABLY A MORE REASONABLE SOLUTION GIVEN THE AMPLITUDE
OF THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY AND THE STRENGTH
OF THE CAD...THOUGH THE ECMWF DOES NOT USUALLY HANDLE CAD VERY
WELL. THE COLD DOME IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA WILL CERTAINLY HAVE A
STABILIZING INFLUENCE...BUT THEN AGAIN THE INHERENT HELICITY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEDGE FRONT...WHEREVER IT SETS UP...MAY
PROVIDE FOR AN INTERESTING SITUATION AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES
MONDAY MORNING. ECMWFS TIMING WOULD IMPLY INCREASED INSTABILITY
WITH THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER EASTWARD PROGRESSION...BUT BOTH MODELS
ARE INDICATING A LOT OF PRECIP IN THE NORTHERN GULF/FLORIDA
PANHANDLE...WHICH MAY SERVE TO CUT OFF THE DOWNSTREAM
PRECIPITATION (THAT IS...US). IN ANY EVENT...IT COULD BE A
POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER PRODUCER ALONG THE WEDGE FRONT...OR
SIMPLY A RAIN-MAKER WITH THE COOL OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION.

GFS MOVES US INTO A NEAR-ZONAL FLOW PATTERN BY MIDWEEK AS THE
UPPER LOW SHIFTS NORTHEAST TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES...WHEREAS THE
ECMWF KEEPS THE UPPER LOW FURTHER SOUTH (OHIO VALLEY) WITH A
DEEPER TROUGH AND PRECIP LINGERING. SHOULD HAVE A LULL FOR A DAY
OR SO BEFORE THE NEXT LOW IN THE VERY PROGRESSIVE SERIES OF
SYSTEMS APPROACHES. CONFIDENCE EXTREMELY LOW THIS FAR OUT AS GFS
HAS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CONVECTIVE PRECIP (WITH A LOT OF
FEEDBACK) ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THURSDAY MORNING WHILE ECMWF IS
STILL IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. HAVE TAKEN A COMPROMISE ON THE
TIMING AND HAVE KEPT POPS TO AT MOST LOW CHANCE.

AVIATION...
LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS NORTHWEST
GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON...ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHING
ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. CURRENT MOVEMENT AND
SPEED SHOULD PUT THE LINE IN THE METRO ATL AREA 23Z-01Z TIME FRAME.
LOW VFR TO MVFR CIGS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DOMINATE TAF SITES THROUGH
THE EVENING...WITH VSBYS GENERALLY 6+...EXCEPT BRIEFLY LOWERING IN
THE IFR RANGE IN THUNDERSTORMS. LOOK FOR WIDESPREAD CIGS IN THE 1 TO
2 THSD FT RANGE LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...THEN CIGS
LIFTING INTO 25 TO 35 HUNDRED RANGE MOST PLACES BY LATE MORNING.
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS (10 TO 15 KTS WITH GUST TO 25KTS)THIS EVENING
AHEAD OF FRONT...BECOMING WEST TO NORTHWEST GENERALLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG SPRING STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY REGION
DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THIS SYSTEM WILL DRAG A STRONG COLD
FRONT ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA DURING THE EVENING AND EARLY
MORNING HOURS.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS. ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

.DISCUSSION...
INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM
WILL SERVE TO INCREASE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITIES OVER THE REGION
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT MOVE INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON...THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL RAPIDLY DESTABILIZE. CAPES WILL INCREASE TO 1200
TO 1800 AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH LIFTED INDEX VALUES
DECREASING TO AROUND -5. THE GREATEST THREAT OF STRONG STORMS WILL
OCCUR BETWEEN THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND LATE EVENING HOURS. AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES NORTHWEST GEORGIA BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON....STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE
NUMEROUS...SPREADING EASTWARD ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
DURING THE EVENING HOURS. ALTHOUGH THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER
EXISTS ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE....THE GREATER LARGE HAIL AND
ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WILL BE GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A
LINE FROM LA GRANGE TO MILLEDGEVILLE...WHERE MORE FAVORABLE
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND TEMPERATURE PROFILES WILL OCCUR. THE
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL GREATLY DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH
THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...AND
AGAIN THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR ACTIVATION ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.
