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.

$$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 17, 9:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 9:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 930 PM EDT WED JUN 17 2009 .UPDATE... 00Z SOUNDING SHOWS ATMOSPHERE REMAINS MODERATELY TO STRONGLY UNSTABLE OVER THE AREA...WITH CAPE BETWEEN 2500 AND 3000 AND LIFTED INDICES MINUS 6 TO MINUS 8. SURPRISINGLY THE VERY WEAK CAP EVIDENT ON THIS MORNINGS SOUNDING HAS ONLY MARGINALLY STRENGTHENED. ALTHOUGH CONVECTION HAS SO FAR FAILED TO INITIATE ANYWHERE IN THE FORECAST AREA...WITH PLENTY OF HEAT ENERGY STORED UP FROM THIS AFTERNOON...I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DROPPING THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH QUITE YET. NO UPDATE IS PLANNED UNTIL ATMOSPHERE HAS HAD TIME TO STABILIZE A LITTLE BIT MORE. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 720 PM EDT WED JUN 17 2009/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... LARGE UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES BUILDING INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD. LATE IN THE PERIOD THE MODELS DO SHOW SOME FLATTENING OF THE RIDGE BEGINNING...BUT THIS SHOULD HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE QUITE LOW...BUT WITH THE HEAT AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AN ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM OR TWO WOULD NOT BE IMPOSSIBLE. I WILL BE USING THE LESS THAN 20 PERCENT WORDING EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN THE ZONES. EXPECTED TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITIES WILL PRODUCE MODERATELY HIGH HEAT INDEX VALUES THE NEXT COUPLE OF AFTERNOONS. RIGHT NOW ALTHOUGH HEAT INDEX VALUES PUSH INTO THE ADVISORY LEVEL FOR A SHORT TIME EACH AFTERNOON...OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW 75 DEGREES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA KEEPING US SHORT OF OUR HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE NEXT FEW SHIFTS WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS SITUATION FOR A POSSIBLE HEAT ADVISORY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS OUR CENTRAL GEORGIA COUNTIES. LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BEGINS AS WE HEAD INTO THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A CORRESPONDING DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST. BY SUNDAY GEORGIA COMES UNDER INCREASINGLY STRONG NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. THIS SHOULD ALLOW OUR HOT TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE BACK TOWARD MORE SEASONAL NORMALS AND ALLOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO INCREASE SOME. AVIATION... FEW-SCT VFR WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION MAINLY N AND E. FEW-SCT VFR WILL BECOME SKC BY 10Z THU...WITH SOME SCT VFR DEVELOPING IN THE PM. W/WSW WINDS AROUND 10 KTS WILL BECOME LIGHT OVERNIGHT...THEN WNW AT 8-9 KTS AROUND 18Z.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE. A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS MAINLY NORTH AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .SYNOPSIS... A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD NORTHEAST FROM THE MID-SOUTH TOWARD ALABAMA AND GEORGIA THROUGH THURSDAY. A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT FROM NORTH CENTRAL INTO EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA EARLY THIS MORNING WILL DISSIPATE AND DRIFT BACK NORTHEAST BY AFTERNOON. .PRIMARY HAZARDS... THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL BE FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS. THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOST LIKELY BETWEEN NOON AND MIDNIGHT. THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL BE NORTH OF A LINE FROM ROME...TO ATLANTA...TO MILLEDGEVILLE. .DISCUSSION... A STRONG UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD NORTHEAST FROM THE MID- SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. THIS RIDGE WILL BE CENTERED OVER ALABAMA BY THURSDAY AND ONLY DRIFT SLOWLY BACK WEST FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD DRIFTED WEST INTO NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO RETREAT NORTHEAST BY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE IS NOT PARTICULARLY CONDUCIVE TO THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT...HOT TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 70S ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON...COMBINED WITH THE WEAK FRONT AND WEAK DISTURBANCES IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CIRCULATING AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE...WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA. THE HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE A VERY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LIFTED INDICES OF -6 OR LOWER AND CAPES IN EXCESS OF 3000 BY AFTERNOON. THUS...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP COULD QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE. THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TO DRIFT SOUTH FROM TENNESSEE INTO NORTH OR NORTHEAST GEORGIA BY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ANY SUCH SYSTEM WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING MORE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS TO THE AREA. BECAUSE OF THE HOT TEMPERATURES...ALL THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DANGEROUS FREQUENT LIGHTNING. .OTHER HAZARDS... HEAT INDICES WILL APPROACH 105 DEGREES ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND PARTS OF NORTH GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AT THIS TIME. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS...ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA...ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
