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 May 28, 3:39 PM EDT, 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 28, 3:39 PM EDT, 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 339 PM EDT FRI MAY 28 2010 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...WITH A DEEP UPPER LOW ACROSS THE NORTH ATLANTIC...ANOTHER DEEP UPPER LOW IN THE PACIFIC NW...AND A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE THROUGH THE CENTRAL U.S. AN UPPER TROUGH SLIDING DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC LOW FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. WILL CUTOFF ACROSS N AL/NW GA AND MEANDER ABOUT THIS REGION FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ALTHOUGH THE FLOW WILL DEAMPLIFY AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH NEXT WEEK...THE JET STREAM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAR ENOUGH REMOVED THAT ANY SHORT WAVES IN THE WESTERLIES WILL TRACK TOO FAR NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK TO EVER PICK UP THE PESKY LOW. IN FACT...AS THE FLOW DEAMPLIFIES...A PIECE OF THE WESTERN U.S. TROUGH BREAKS OFF AND JOINS FORCES WITH THE LINGERING SOUTHEASTERN U.S. TROUGH...PROLONGING THE MISERY ACROSS THE SE U.S. BOTTOMLINE...VERY UNSETTLED...STORMY PATTERN EXPECTED TO LINGER ACROSS THE SE U.S. FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND PERHAPS BEYOND. MINOR DIFFERENCES IN TSRA THREAT WILL EXIST FROM DAY-TO-DAY. 19 && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... BACKBUILDING UPPER TROUGH FROM THE NORTH ATLANTIC UPPER LOW PUSHING A POCKET OF COLD AIR ALOFT INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. ALTHOUGH VERY WEAK SHEAR...EXTREME INSTABILITY NOTED ACROSS N GA THIS AFTERNOON WITH MODEL CAPES OF 3000-4000 J/KG NEAR THE TN BORDER. FFC 12Z SOUNDING SHOWED AN UNMODIFIED CAPE OF 1208J/KG...EVEN AT THAT HOUR. VERY FAVORABLE PULSE TSRA ENVIRONMENT WITH HIGH VILS AND FREQUENT CG LIGHTNING. WITH 500MB TEMPS NEAR -12C AND THE FREEZING LEVEL RELATIVELY LOW...LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL IS FAIRLY HIGH. HAVE COORDINATED A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WITH SPC FOR N GA UNTIL 01Z. ACTIVITY LARGELY DIURNAL AND WITH LACK OF LARGE SCALE SUPPORTING DYNAMICS...EXPECT ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH QUICKLY AFT 00Z. IF I HAD TO PICK ANY AREA LEAST LIKELY FOR TSRA ACTIVITY TODAY...IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE EAST CENTRAL AREAS...WHERE THE AIR MASS IS SLIGHTLY DRIER AND MORE STABLE. GFS/NAM SUGGEST THAT SOME ACTIVITY MAY LINGER IN NW/WC GA OVERNIGHT...BUT SEVERE THREAT SHOULD CERTAINLY DIMINISH. THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW WILL STALL AND MEANDER ABOUT THE NE AL/NW GA AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. GFS/NAM ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE BEST THREAT FOR TSRA INTO N-C AL SAT...SHOWING A SLIGHT DRY PUSH CONTINUING INTO EAST GA. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF CONTINUES A GENERAL THREAT ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...BUT AGAIN FOCUSING MAINLY ON THE WEST. WILL USE A MODEL BLEND AND SHOW SLIGHTLY LOWER POPS SAT AND FOCUS MAINLY ON THE NW/WC AREAS. FOR SUN...ECMWF/NAM/GFS ALL SHOW A FAIRLY HEALTHY SHORT WAVE ROTATING NE AROUND THE STALLED UPPER LOW AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVE BREAKING OFF FROM THE WESTERN U.S. UPPER TROUGH. PWS APPROACHING 2.0 INCHES AND STRONG INSTABILITY PRESENT...SO WILL ADVERTISE LIKELY TSRA FOR SUN WITH THIS PACKAGE. SEVERE PULSE TSRA ARE POSSIBLE EACH DAY...ALTHOUGH ACTIVITY SUNDAY MAY BEGIN EARLY ENOUGH AND BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE THREAT TO WET MAINLY WET MICROBURSTS AND HEAVY RAIN. HIGH QPF AMOUNTS APPEAR LOCALIZED ENOUGH TO NOT WARRANT A FFA AT THIS TIME. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN ON INCREASINGLY SATURATED SOILS SUN. MET/MOS TEMPS ALMOST IDENTICAL FOR OVERNIGHT MINS NEXT FEW NIGHTS. SEE NO REASON TO DEVIATE FAR GIVEN INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND INCREASINGLY HIGH DEWPOINTS/RH VALUES. WILL USE A MAV/MET MOS BLEND FOR MAX TEMPS SAT AS MET MOS APPEARS TOO COOL AND MAV MOS TOO WARM. CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK APPEARS TO HAVE CONTAMINATED SOME OF THE MAX TEMPS SAT WITH LOCALIZED MODEL GENERATED COOL POCKETS IN CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AREAS. .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... VERY UNSETTLED WEATHER EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED PERIODS. PESKY UPPER LOW AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED PERIODS WILL WEAKEN AND FILL...BUT BE REINFORCED AS ADDITIONAL WEAK SHORT WAVE ENERGY REACHES THE SOUTHEAST U.S. ON SOUTHEAST SIDE OF PERSISTENT SC/SW U.S. SUBTROPICAL UPPER RIDGE. ONE WEAK FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH A DISTURBANCE IN THE WESTERLIES ATTEMPTS TO PASS THROUGH THE SE U.S. TUE-WED...BUT WASHES OUT AND RESULTS IN CONTINUED WEAK LOW PRESSURE LINGERING ACROSS THE REGION. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A STRONGER AND HIGHER AMPLITUDE TROUGH PUSHING INTO THE SE U.S. TOWARD THE END OF THE EXTENDED. PERHAPS THIS WILL FINALLY PUSH THE UPPER LOW OUT OF THE AREA...BUT CONFIDENCE IN SUCH OCCURRING IN JUNE IS LOW. AT LEAST THE ECMWF IS ON BOARD WITH THIS...SO THAT INCREASES CONFIDENCE SLIGHTLY. AT ANY RATE...EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE HIGHEST TSRA THREAT AT THIS POINT WOULD APPEAR TO BE TUE...AND THU-FRI WHEN THE BEST UPPER SUPPORT IS EVIDENT. WILL SHOW SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS DURING THESE TIME PERIODS. MAX TEMPS WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS...BUT MIN TEMPS WELL ABOVE GIVEN CLOUD COVER AND HIGH DEWPOINTS/RELATIVE HUMIDITY. LITTLE DEVIATION FROM MEX MOS GUIDANCE NEEDED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
