The radar

The Atlanta radar (KFFC), 31 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:41 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, 10.6 hours before the alert went out and 37 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
342 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONVECTION HAS BEEN LESS WIDESPREAD THAN EXPECTED SO FAR TODAY.
STARTING TO SEE SOME REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE ATL METRO AREA THOUGH
AND EXPECT ACTIVITY TO PICK UP FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH IT COULD STILL BE LESS THAN WHAT WE WERE
INITIALLY EXPECTING. THINK MOST OF THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION WILL BE
ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH TONIGHT. WITH GREATER INSTABILITY
ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA...BETTER CHANCE OF ISOLD SVR STORMS APPEAR TO
BE ACROSS THAT AREA. SHOULD SEE CONVECTION DECREASE BY AROUND
MIDNIGHT.

FOR FRIDAY...HAVE A TROUGH SITTING AT THE SFC ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA
AND THIS MAY BE A FOCUS FOR STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE CWA AND SOUTH GEORGIA. CWA REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF ARE PICKING UP ON A WAVE IN
THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW MOVING INTO THE NW PART OF THE CWA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL HELP TO ENHANCE THE CONVECTION POTENTIAL ACROSS
NORTH GEORGIA TOMORROW AFTERNOON. OVERALL CONVECTION TOMORROW
APPEARS TO BE A LATER AFTERNOON EVENT THAT WILL LAST INTO THE
OVERNIGHT ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

DO EXPECT A BIT OF A WARM UP TOMORROW WITH LESS CLOUD COVERAGE
INITIALLY IN THE DAY AND SLIGHTLY WARMER 850MB TEMPS ADVECTING INTO
THE CWA FROM THE WEST. MOST AREAS /EXCEPT THE MOUNTAINS/ SHOULD REACH
THE LOW TO MID 90S. THIS WILL PUT MAX TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.

11

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NO REAL CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED TODAY. A STALLED OUT FRONT WILL BE
OVER THE AREA LATE FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND. A SERIES OF UPPER
LEVEL IMPULSES ALONG WITH PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LEAD
TO SEMI ORGANIZED STORMS OVER THE WEEKEND. SOME OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE STRONG. HAVE ONLY CHANGED SOME POPS AND WX
GRIDS THIS WEEKEND TO MATCH BETTER WITH CURRENT GUIDANCE.
OTHERWISE NO SIG CHANGES. ATTACHED BELOW IS PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 200 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013/

PREV DISCUSSION...

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... /ISSUED 351 AM EDT THU
JUN 27 2013/

FRIDAY BEGINS WITH ONE WAVE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY EXITING OFF THE SE
ATLANTIC COAST WHILE A SECOND SYSTEM LOOKS POISED TO DROP THROUGH
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND INTO THE LOCAL AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AT
THIS TIME...INSTABILITY LOOKS TO BE ADEQUATE FOR NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BUT LESS THAN PREVIOUS DAYS VALUES AND
WITH LIMITED SHEAR VALUES IN PLACE...ONLY ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS
WITH THIS COMPLEX ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. WITH SURFACE TROUGH
AXIS AND CONTINUED IMPULSES ROTATING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH...POPS WILL REMAIN HIGHER THAN CLIMO THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD AND HAVE REFLECTED THIS TREND IN THE LATEST GRID SET.

MAIN MOISTURE AXIS WILL SHIFT SOUTH FOR SATURDAY BUT ADDITIONAL
STRONG IMPULSE WILL MOVE ON THE DOORSTEP OF NORTH GA BY LATE
EVENING. WILL KEEP HIGHEST POPS WHERE BETTER MOISTURE IS WITH
LIKELY TO THE SOUTH BUT WILL GO HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE FOR THE NORTH
GIVEN BETTER UPPER SUPPORT.

THE ACTUAL UPPER LOW WHICH WILL HAVE BEEN A SEMI PERMANENT FEATURE
BY THIS POINT WILL FINALLY ROTATE SOUTHWARD SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. AGAIN...BETTER MOISTURE REMAINS OVER EXTREME SOUTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AND HAVE GONE LIKELY THERE AGAIN
ALTHOUGH WENT HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE NORTH AGAIN WITH UPPER LOW.

THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD...UPPER LOW WEAKENS AND
RETROGRADES WITH LESS UPPER SUPPORT. DESPITE THIS...SOUTHEAST FLOW
TO BRING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE TO THE AREA RESULTING IN POPS
ABOVE CLIMO. THIS WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPS BELOW CLIMO FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD AS WELL.

DEESE

AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
BIGGEST UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TAFS IS IN REGARDS TO CONVECTION.
THINK THE BETTER CHANCES OF CONVECTION HAVE SHIFTED TO CENTRAL
GEORGIA SO HAVE LEFT TEMPO IN FOR CSG AND MCN. DONT THINK
CONVECTION IS DONE ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THOUGH...BUT HAVE A LOWER
CHANCE AND THINK IT WILL BE MORE ISOLATED SUMMERTIME STORMS. SINCE
STORMS SHOULD BE ISOLD ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA...HAVE REMOVED TEMPO
GROUP FROM NORTHERN TAF SITES EVEN THOUGH A TSRA CANT BE RULED
OUT.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE ON CIGS AND VSBYS...EXCEPT IF A THUNDERSTORM MOVES
OVER THE AIRPORT. HIGH CONFIDENCE ON WIND. LOW CONFIDENCE ON
CONVECTION FORECAST.
