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, 10.5 hours before the alert went out and 30 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 30, 3:28 PM EDT, 2 hours 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 328 PM EDT THU JUL 30 2015 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... A WEAK COLD FRONT IS MAKING PROGRESS SOUTHWARD INTO FAR NORTH GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN ADVANCE OF THIS FRONT. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY OCCUR OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE WEAK FRONTAL FORCING. WHILE CAPE VALUES OVER 2000 J/KG EXIST OVER PARTS OF THE AREA...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE...SO THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL REMAIN LIMITED. WITH THAT IN MIND... AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. PWAT VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES RESIDE AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS WELL...SO THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE EFFICIENT HEAVY RAINFALL PRODUCERS. OVERALL CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL BEGIN TO WANE AFTER SUNSET FROM NORTH TO SOUTH...THOUGH SOME WILL LIKELY LINGER IN CENTRAL GEORGIA OVERNIGHT AS THE FRONT PUSHES INTO THIS AREA. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL RESIDE ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY AND WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THOUGH SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY AGAIN BE STRONG IN THIS VICINITY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED. LOCATIONS TO THE NORTH OF THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN DRY ON FRIDAY AS NOTICEABLY MORE COMFORTABLE DEWPOINTS FILTER AS FAR SOUTH AS THE ATLANTA METRO ON FRIDAY. RW .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE ON A WEAK COLD FRONT REMAINING STALLED ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF GEORGIA OVER THE WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THERE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THEN AN UPPER DISTURBANCE PUSHES THE FRONT SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA BY MONDAY... WITH A DRIER NORTHWEST MID AND UPPER FLOW REDUCING RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY MONDAY AND POSSIBLY EVEN TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS IS SHOWING A MOSTLY DRY... REINFORCING COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO NORTH GEORGIA ON WEDNESDAY WITH A PERSISTENT NW FLOW ALOFT. THIS WOULD CONTINUE TO HOLD RAIN CHANCES DOWN THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME... THE ECMWF IS SHOWING A MOIST SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST SURFACE TO MID LEVEL FLOW SETTING UP BY WEDNESDAY WITH AN UPPER DISTURBANCE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD SUGGEST INCREASING RAIN CHANCES FOR MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. WILL LEAN TOWARD THE DRIER GFS SOLUTION FOR NOW... BUT STILL SHOW A SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. MODERATE INSTABILITY... ALONG WITH WEAK WIND SHEAR SUGGEST ANY AFTERNOON STORMS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. BEHIND THE FRONT... SHORT TERM RELIEF FROM THE HEAT IS EXPECTED AS NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY SPREAD FROM NORTH GEORGIA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS RELIEF MAY PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY... BUT APPEARS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND NEAR CRITICALLY HIGH HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY RETURN TO MUCH OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. 39/16 AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... STILL EXPECTING PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD EXCEPT IN ANY CONVECTION THAT OCCURS. A TEMPO GROUP IS INCLUDED ADDRESSING THIS THUNDER POTENTIAL. OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT AND SHOULD BEGIN TO TREND NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT WITH SOME DEVIATION TO AN EASTERLY COMPONENT POSSIBLE AS WELL.

A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL HELP PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THERE OVER THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER... SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. THE WEAKENING FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH OF THE AREA BY MONDAY... WITH A DRIER NORTHERLY FLOW LESSONING RAIN CHANCES FOR ALL AREAS BY MONDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT...
