The radar
The Robins AFB radar (KJGX), 126 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:28 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 177 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 Apr 28, 3:29 PM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 3:29 PM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 329 PM EDT SUN APR 28 2013 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... THE ACTIVE REGION OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS SPARKING WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH... CURRENTLY STRETCHING FROM EAST CENTRAL MS...ACROSS AL AND INTO NORTH AND MUCH OF CENTRAL GA. FLOODING CONTINUES TO BE A MAIN CONCERN ACROSS NORTH GA AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN ACROSS AN ALREADY SATURATED GROUND...WHERE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN AND AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES IS POSSIBLE. A FLASH FLOOD WARNING HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED FOR CHATTOOGA AND FLOYD COUNTIES DUE TO INUNDATED ROADWAYS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF NORTH GA THROUGH 8 PM THIS EVENING. ADDITIONAL CONCERNS ARE INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS...MAINLY FOR AREAS SOUTH OF ATLANTA AND INTO CENTRAL GA WHERE DISCRETE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOTED AHEAD OF THE MAIN RAIN SHIELD. ONE DISCRETE STORM HAS PRODUCED LARGE HAIL IN THE LA GRANGE AREA... AND ANOTHER FURTHER EAST IS SHOWING STRONG ROTATION. THE MAIN CONCERNS FROM DISCRETE CELLS WILL BE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED TORNADO THROUGH EARLY EVENING... ESPECIALLY AS STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR CONTINUES TO PRODUCE 300+ HELICITY DURING DAYTIME HEATING. OTHERWISE... EXPECT THE FLOOD AND SEVERE THREAT TO GREATLY DIMINISH BY 8-9 PM THIS EVENING AS THE STRONGER UPPER SUPPORT SLIPS FURTHER EAST AND WE CONTINUE TO LOSS DAYTIME HEATING. MODELS SHOW THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TO BE SLOW PUSHING ACROSS THE AREA... SO WILL SHOW A GRADUAL DECREASING OF POPS FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING...BEFORE ENDING RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BY SOMETIME MONDAY NIGHT. AS FOR TEMPS... HAVE LEANED TOWARD A MAV AND MET BLEND THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH SEASONABLE COOLER LOWS SPREADING INTO THE AREA BY MONDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. 39 .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS MODELS CONTINUE SHOW RAIN CHANCES SPREADING BACK INTO THE AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. SEE THE DISCUSSION BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS. /39 .PREV LONG TERM DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 456 AM EDT SUN APR 28 2013/ LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... GUIDANCE IS OVERALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MAIN INFLUENCING FEATURES THROUGHOUT LONG TERM. AS AN UPPER SHORTWAVE EXITS THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY NIGHT...THE NEXT MAIN FOCUS WILL BE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF BY MIDWEEK. THIS FEATURE LOOKS TO ADVECT SOME GULF AND ATLANTIC MOISTURE INTO THE AREA STARTING LATE TUESDAY. A STRENGTHENING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL RESULT IN A HYBRID CAD WEDGE IMPINGING UPON THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST BY WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD SERVE TO PRIMARILY LIMIT INSTABILITY IN NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...SO HAVE KEPT HIGHER CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHWEST AND TRENDED LOWER TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. THIS LOOKS TO BE THE GENERAL PATTERN THROUGH FRIDAY. A LARGE UPPER LEVEL CUTOFF LOW IS FORECAST TO LINGER ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS LOOKS TO PUSH AN OCCLUDED FRONT NEAR THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE BY SATURDAY SO HAVE INCREASED POPS ACCORDINGLY. FOR NOW GUIDANCE IS IN PRETTY GOOD CONSENSUS WITH TIMING OF THE FRONT...THOUGH ANY SHORTWAVE PERTURBATIONS ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER TROUGH MAY SERVE TO PROVIDE ENHANCEMENTS TO THE PRECIP CHANCE. BAKER && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS MOVING ACROSS THE TAF SITES AND THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THRU THE AFTN AND EARLY EVENING HOURS IF NOT LATER. EXPECT MVFR CIGS TO PREVAIL WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CIGS... GENERALLY WITHIN CONVECTION. MODELS BEGIN TO PUSH THE MAIN CONVECTION EAST AND SOUTH OF ATLANTA AREA TAF SITES BY 06-08Z TONIGHT SO WILL REMOVE PRECIP BY THEN. IFR CIGS WILL LIKELY SETTLE IN WITH ENDING OF THE -RA AROUND 06Z AND PERSIST THRU 13-14Z MON. THEN EXPECT A GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO VFR BY 16-17Z MON. WINDS WILL VEER SW BY 20-22Z SUN...THEN WEST BY 12-14Z MON... WITH SPEEDS GENERALLY 9 KTS OR LESS. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE... MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON CEILINGS AND END OF CONVECTION.
