The radar
The Robins AFB radar (KJGX), 35 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:15 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, 8.3 hours before the alert went out and 159 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, Jul 20, 3:38 PM EDT, 37 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 338 PM EDT MON JUL 20 2015 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... STILL LOOKING AT 2 DISTINCT AREAS OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON WITH FIRST OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA WHERE INSTABILITY WAS ALREADY IN PLACE EARLY THIS MORNING ALONG WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. THIS AREA FIRED FIRST AND IS DRIFTING SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH NOW AND SHOULD ACTUALLY SEE SOME IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR MCN AND CSG FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. TO THE NORTH HOWEVER...ACTIVITY JUST NOW STARTING TO GET GOING WITH BUILDING CAPE VALUES TO 2500 TO ALMOST 3000 J/KG. UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE ALSO HELPING TO INITIATE ACTIVITY FOR NORTH GA AND EXPECT MORE WIDESPREAD COVERAGE THROUGH THIS EVENING. DCAPE ACROSS THE AREA REMAINS QUITE HIGH WITH ALMOST 1500 J/KG ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL GEORGIA WHERE MOST MID LEVEL DRY AIR RESIDES. EXPECT ANY ELEVATED STRONG CORES TO PRODUCE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS WITH ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FOR TUESDAY...MAY SPEND MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS IN BETWEEN SHORTWAVE SYSTEMS WHICH MAY LIMIT POPS A BIT. BEST CHANCES APPEAR TO BE ALONG THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE FORECAST AREA ALTHOUGH COULD NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM CLIMO FOR THE NORTH AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN IN THE 1.60 INCH RANGE. GETTING ADDITIONAL HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR TUESDAY FOR CENTRAL GEORGIA ONCE AGAIN ALTHOUGH IT IS A BIT MORE MARGINAL. WILL LET THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT TAKE A LOOK TO BETTER DETERMINE AREAL EXTENT. DEESE .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... NO MAJOR CHANGES WHERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIODS AS LONG TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A FAIRLY ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW SETTING UP BY MID WEEK AND PERSISTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AT THE SAME TIME... MODELS ARE SHOWING A SURFACE TROUGH OR WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY MEANDERING ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SHOULD HELP PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR SCATTERED... MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. THIS PATTERN MAY HELP LOWER DAYTIME HIGHS AND ASSOCIATED HEAT INDEX VALUES A FEW DEGREES LATER IN THE WEEK. 39 && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... /ISSUED AT 151 PM EDT MON JUL 20 2015/ LOOKS LIKE TWO DISTINCT AREAS TO BE CONCERNED WITH FOR TSRA THIS AFTERNOON. THE FIRST WILL BE FROM CSG TO MCN AND IS ONGOING REQUIRING A TEMPO TO INITIALIZE THE FORECAST. FURTHER NORTH...FOR ATL AND SURROUNDING SITES...DRIER AIR FOR NOW WILL RESULT IN A MUCH LATER START TO TSRA. STILL LOOKS TO BE ENOUGH COVERAGE TO WARRANT TEMPO BUT WILL NOT START IT UNTIL 22Z. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE... MEDIUM ON TSRA POTENTIAL. HIGH ON REMAINING ELEMENTS.
