The radar
The Atlanta radar (KFFC), 60 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:46 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 00:00Z, 0.8 hours before the alert went out and 65 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 Jun 28, 8:44 PM EDT, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 8:44 PM EDT, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 844 PM EDT Tue Jun 28 2022 ...Evening Update... .UPDATE... Made minor tweaks to reflect slightly warmer temperatures across central GA where more broken cloud decks have persisted, otherwise forecast remains on track. Lingering showers are likely to stick around well into the night. A couple of strong to severe storms remain, capable of producing locally heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. Similarly cloudy and (finally!) seasonable conditions are expected tomorrow. 96 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 746 PM EDT Tue Jun 28 2022/ ..Updated for 00Z Aviation Discussion... PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 327 PM EDT Tue Jun 28 2022/ .Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion... SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/... Similar to yesterday, scattered to numerous storms have developed this afternoon (mainly along and south of a line from Rome to Canton to Athens) amid SBCAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg and low-level lapse rates of 7.0 to 8.5 C/km. Some strong storms are likely with gusty downburst winds, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. A storm or two with severe-criteria wind gusts cannot be ruled out. Like the storm over the southern metro Atlanta area yesterday evening that prompted a Flash Flood Warning, any storms that persist over the same area for long enough (which is a concern as upper-level winds are quite weak) could lead to localized flash flooding. Isolated showers and storms will be possible overnight given weak frontal convergence, remnant outflow boundaries, and ample moisture in place. More of the same is expected tomorrow (Wednesday) as the front remains draped across the CWA. The HREF is progging 1000-2000 J/kg of SBCAPE, and with weak upper-level flow, storms will again pose a threat for gusty winds, cloud-to-ground lightning, heavy rainfall, and localized flash flooding. Persistent low-level and mid-level cloud cover over much of the CWA today has capped temps in the 80s this afternoon with just the southern tier of the CWA in the 90s. Highs in the lower 80s to lower 90s are expected tomorrow. Martin LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/... The long term forecast remains consistent with previous forecast runs, beginning with mid to upper level ridging positioned over the northeast CONUS and a upper level flow pattern over the southeast to start the period on Thursday. The Bermuda High over the western Atlantic will also promote southerly low level flow and the advection of deep moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. With this moist airmass persisting through the weekend, dewpoints are expected to be in the low to mid 70s across the forecast area. On Friday and into the weekend, some amplification of the ridge to the east and northeast of the area will allow for additional moisture advection off the Atlantic and Gulf. Precipitable water values will then climb to over 2 inches, and persist into early next week, as a result. In the absence of a clear synoptic forcing mechanism, convection is expected to be diurnally-driven in nature, although remnant outflow boundaries from antecedent showers and thunderstorms could provide a focus for additional development. Considering the deep moisture and high PWAT values, coverage of showers and thunderstorms is forecast to be higher than typically observed on an average summer day, and primarily likely PoPs are being carried into early next week. The increased cover of clouds and rain chances will somewhat limit daytime heating, keeping afternoon highs near to just below normal through the end of the week, in the 80s in north and central Georgia. High temperatures are anticipated to begin climbing into the 90s by the end of the weekend and the beginning of next week. Early morning hours each day will also start out nearly saturated, with low stratus and patchy fog likely each morning. At this time, the threat for organized severe weather appears to be unlikely. However, a few storms each day could become strong to severe. Taking the deep atmospheric moisture in consideration, precipitation loading into storm downdrafts could aid in gusty, potentially damaging downburst winds. Furthermore, heavy rainfall associated with stronger storms could lead to localized flash flooding concerns. This is most likely where strong storms linger over a common location because of the weak steering flow, or if they provide additional rainfall to locations that were already saturated from rains from previous days. King AVIATION... 00Z Update... SHRA continues across much of north and central GA, with lingering TSRA confined to areas south of I-20. Expect things to taper off by 02-03Z. Winds will stay out of the east side at less than 10 kts through the TAF period, and near calm overnight. Widespread BKN/OVC MVFR cigs likely tomorrow morning thanks to incr moisture, with IFR cigs possible between 08-15Z. Isolated to scattered TSRA/SHRA activity will pick back up early tomorrow afternoon. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Medium confidence morning IFR cigs. High confidence all other elements. 96 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
