The radar

The Atlanta radar (KFFC), 105 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:45 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 12:00Z, 11.7 hours before the alert went out and 104 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, Apr 23, 6:20 PM EDT, 1 hour 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
620 PM EDT THU APR 23 2009

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
PRIMARY CONCERN IN SHORT TERM PERIOD IS CHC FOR DEEP CONVECTION
...POSSIBLY SEVERE...THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RADAR AND
SATELLITE TRENDS INDICATE STRONG TSRA CURRENTLY OCCURRING OVER
MIDDLE TN SE OF NASHVILLE. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DEVELOP FURTHER
SOUTH ALONG NW- SE ORIENTED BAND OF WARM/MOIST ADVECTION AND
INERTIAL INSTABILITY. MLCAPE CURRENTLY UP TO 2200 J/KG IN NORTH GA
BUT VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS SOMEWHAT WEAK...WITH 0-1KM BULK SHEAR
AROUND 10KTS AND 0-6KM SHEAR AROUND 30KTS. EXPECT TO SEE ISOLD
COVERAGE OF TSRA...SOME POSS SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY
THREAT DEVELOP INTO NORTH GA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MATCHES RECENT
SPC MCD AS WELL. CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE RAPIDLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS INFLUENCE OF OH VALLEY SHORTWAVE AND FLOW ALOFT WEAKEN.

PATTERN NOT TOO MUCH DIFFERENT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AFTERNOON
EXCEPT THAT LARGE SCALE FORCING AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL
BECOME NEGLIGIBLE AS UPPER HIGH BUILDS INTO AREA. COULD SEE AN
ISOLD PULSE TSTM IN FAR ERN OR NE GA FRI OR SAT AFTERNOON BUT NOT
MUCH ELSE.

TEMPS WILL BECOME A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL BUT NOWHERE NEAR DAILY
RECORDS. USED BIAS-ADJUSTED MAV/MET BLEND FOR MOST TEMPS.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO MODEL PROGS FROM PREVIOUS RUNS DURING THIS
PERIOD. BASED ON 12Z GFS/12Z ECMWF/00Z GFS ENSEMBLE...STILL
APPEARS THAT UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH
MONDAY BEFORE LARGE/BROAD POSITIVELY TILTED LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER
THE WESTERN U.S. SLOWLY PROGRESSES EAST. INDIVIDUAL SHORT WAVES
SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR WEST IN THIS PATTERN...BUT COULD SEE
ISOLD/SCT SHRA/TSRA PARTICULARLY IN NW GA. GOING FCST LOOKS PRETTY
CLOSE TO THIS GIVEN ABOVE SO NO CHANGES.
