The radar

The Robins AFB radar (KJGX), 32 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:23 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, 10.4 hours before the alert went out and 107 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.

Skew-T log-p

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

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 25, 3:34 PM EDT, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 3:34 PM EDT, 2 hours 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
334 PM EDT TUE JUN 25 2013

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PRIMARY CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD IS CHC AND TIMING OF
CONVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY LOWER THAN YESTERDAY AND WHAT WAS FCST PREVIOUSLY. LOWER
SFC CONVERGENCE AND INSTABILITY TODAY MAY BE THE REASON...BUT CANT
COMPLAIN WITH THE RESULT SO FAR. MAY SEE A FEW STORMS EXCEED SVR
CRITERIA BEFORE 00Z BUT SHOULD BE LESS ACTIVE THAN YESTERDAY.

AS WEAK SHORT WAVE PUSHES EAST...MODELS AGREE ON DEVELOPING NW FLOW
OVER THE AREA. SUBSIDENCE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE WIDESPREAD
SHRA/TSRA WED PM BUT COULD SEE ISOLD STRONG STORMS. NW FLOW BECOMES
UNSEASONABLY STRONG LATE WED NIGHT AND EARLY THURS. LIKELY TO SEE A
WEAK FRONT PUSH THROUGH EARLY THURS IN THIS PATTERN AND SVR STORMS
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. STRENGTH OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR QUITE
STRONG WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDES AROUND 25-35KTS AND 0-1KM
SHEAR OF 15-20KTS 12Z-18Z THURS. PRESTORM SBCAPE OF 2500-3000 J/KG
PROGGED BY 12Z NAM AND GFS VALID 18Z THURS. TOO SOON TO PIN THIS
DOWN BUT MAY NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR MORE SVR STORMS ON THURS...
POSSIBLY SIMILAR TO OUR JUNE 13 EVENT.

SNELSON

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO FORECAST AS MINOR DISCREPANCIES EXISTED
WITH LATEST GUIDANCE SOLUTIONS. HAVE MAINLY LEFT POPS UNCHANGED
DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING OF ANY UPPER LEVEL PERTURBATIONS AND
EXTENT OF MOISTURE FIELD IN SUCH AN ACTIVE PERIOD. ALSO TWEAKED
FRIDAY MAX TEMPS A BIT HIGHER...OTHERWISE FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON
TRACK AND PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

BAKER

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 428 AM EDT TUE JUN 25 2013/
OVERALL FORECAST STORY HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. SURFACE HIGH RETREATS BACK OVER THE ATLANTIC BY MID
WEEK...WITH UPPER RIDGE DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN US AS LONG
WAVE TROUGH MOVES OVER THE EAST COAST. DIURNAL CONVECTION EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND HAVE
GENERALLY GONE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT AND GOOD CHANCE
POPS THROUGH THE DAY THROUGH THE WEEK.

LONG WAVE TROUGH KEEPS THE STATE IN MOIST PATTERN THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...WITH A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES KEEPING PRECIP ACROSS THE
AREA...AND AT THIS POINT EXPECT COVERAGE TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD.
AMPLE CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP ACTIVITY WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES AT OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

31

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
PRIMARY CONCERN IS LIKELIHOOD OF TSRA THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPED AROUND NOON AS EXPECTED BUT
A LITTLE LESS COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THAN EXPECTED. EXPECT ANY
TSRA TO DIMINISH AFTER 00Z. UNLESS HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS AT A TAF
SITE...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH FOG OR STRATUS EARLY WED MORNING. SFC
WINDS WILL REMAIN ON A SW TO WEST COMPONENT AT 5-10KTS DURING THE
DAYTIME HOURS. SHRA/TSRA CHCS WED AFTERNOON APPEAR TOO LOW TO
MENTION IN FCST BUT MAY NEED TO BE MONITORED AND INCLUDED AT KMCN
AND KCSG.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON TSRA LIKELIHOOD.
HIGH CONFIDENCE ON ALL OTHER ELEMENTS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THE REST

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
MOIST AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
