What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

Hurricane Dennis, which began as a tropical depression near the southern Windward Islands on July 4th quickly gained strength as it tracked west-northwest across the Caribbean. It became a tropical storm on the 5th and a hurricane on the 6th as it moved near the southern end of Haiti. Hurricane Dennis made its first landfall near central Cuba as a category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The storm emerged into the Gulf of Mexico off the western end of Cuba on July 9th as a category 1 storm, then tracked northwest toward the Gulf Coast. Hurricane Dennis made its U.S. landfall near Pensacola, Florida around 3 pm on July 10th, then tracked north-northwest across western Alabama into northeast Mississippi and western Tennessee on July 11th. The effects of Dennis with respect to flooding were far reaching, especially on the east and north side of the storm. The first outer spiral band affected north and central Georgia during the afternoon and evening of July 9th. Numerous thunderstorms, some with very heavy rain tracked east to west across central and north Georgia. Rainfall amounts of two to four inches were reported on the south and west side of Atlanta. Flash flooding was reported in Carroll county where rainfall exceeded four inches in spots. Several roads were washed out. After a break in the rainfall overnight, widespread rain began to spread into the area from the south late in the morning on the 10th and overspread the entire region by late afternoon. Rainfall during the afternoon and early evening was mostly light to moderate with rainfall amounts prior to 8 pm were generally in the one to two inch range. However, as the evening progressed, the rain became increasingly concentrated in a south-to-north oriented 50-mile wide feeder band. The tropical feeder band set up from near Americus to Chatsworth and persisted over the same areas for a period of 12 to 15 hours. Torrential rainfall amounts fell in areas affected by the feeder band as very heavy tropical showers repeatedly tracked over the same areas. Rainfall amounts of six to eight inches were common within the feeder band, with 10-12 inch rainfall amounts reported across the southern and western portions of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Widespread flash flooding and flooding were reported, especially in Coweta, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, and Cobb counties. Hundreds of roads were washed out and hundreds of homes experienced some degree of flooding, some major. Several rescues were required, particularly in Douglas and Cobb counties.Wind was also a problem, but with the center of the storm tracking some 200 miles to the west of the area, sustained winds were mostly in the 20-25 mph range, with some gusts observed to near 40 mph. A number of counties in west Georgia reported downed trees and power lines, with widespread power outages reported across the region.Overall damage caused by Hurricane Dennis to north and central Georgia was approximately $12,000,000, most of which was the result of flash flooding or flooding. However, nearly $250,000 was attributed to strong winds. One death occurred as a result of strong winds during Hurricane Dennis.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 4:25 AM EST, 5 hours 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
525 AM EDT SUN JUL 10 2005

.SHORT TERM...
DENNIS STILL ON TRACK AS EXPECTED. BANDS OF MDT RAIN AFFECTING SW
ZONES NEAR COLUMBUS NOW BUT EXPECT SEVERAL MORE MDT-HVY BANDS NEXT
24-30 HOURS. WILL KEEP FLOOD WATCH AS IS ALTHOUGH GREATEST THREAT
WILL BE OVER SW ZONES AND AREAS WHICH SAW HEAVY RAINFALL SAT
AFTERNOON/EVENING AS WELL AS LATE WED. TORNADO THREAT WILL BE
PRESENT TODAY AND TONIGHT AS WELL IN RIGHT-FRONT QUADRANT. 06Z
SOUNDING STILL SHOWS UNIMPRESSIVE SHEAR AND 0-1KM HELICITY BUT
EXPECT THAT TO WORSEN TODAY AND AGAIN GREATEST THREAT ACROSS SW
ZONES.

ALTHOUGH BULK OF RAIN FROM DENNIS WILL AFFECT AREAS TO OUR WEST...
UPSLOPE COULD BE QUITE STRONG ACROSS NE ZONES TONIGHT. AGREE WITH
HPC QPF IN PAINTING A STRIPE OF HIGHER QPF ALONG N ATL-GVL LINE LATE
TONIGHT AND MONDAY...ALTHOUGH LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD BE DECREASING
MONDAY.

WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW TROPICAL STORM CRITERIA THROUGH TONIGHT
WITH 25-35MPH SUSTAINED EXPECTED IN FAR SW. WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY
FOR MOST WRN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
SHOULD RETURN TO DIURNAL PATTERN AFTER DENNIS DEPARTS. SOME QUESTION
ON HOW CLOSE REMNANTS OF DENNIS WILL GET TO GEORGIA AND WHETHER IT
WILL AFFECT ANYTHING. GFS STILL TAKING REMNANTS ON A TOUR OF THE
CENTRAL U.S...MEMPHIS...SRN IL...TN...THEN RETROGRADING BACK TOWARD
AR AND ERN OK. WILL KEEP HEALTHY POPS GOING WITH MORE FOCUS ON
AFTERNOON AND EVENING PERIODS. TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN NEAR OR JUST
BELOW NORMAL.

SNELSON

.AVIATION...
EAST WINDS AND PRECIP CHANCES WILL BOTH GRADUALLY INCREASE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS DENNIS APPROACHES.  WIND GUSTS TO 35KT
POSSIBLE IN SW NEAR CSG WITH GUSTS TO 25KT ELSEWHERE.  SUBSIDENCE ON
PERIPHERY OF DENNIS HAS KEPT VSBYS UP AND PRECIP MINIMIZED FOR THE
MORNING.  RADICAL DROP IN VSBYS NOT EXPECTED TODAY EXCEPT IN TSRA
WHERE 1-2SM POSSIBLE.  CIGS WILL ALSO BE IN THE 020-030 RANGE FOR
THE MOST PART EXCEPT 010 OR SO IN TSRA.  THUS...THE CHALLENGE IS THE
TIMING OF THE TSRA SINCE EVERYTHING ELSE HINGES ON THAT.  FIRST BAND
THIS MORNING FIZZLED /AGAIN DUE TO SUBSIDENCE/.  NEXT BAND NOT
LOOKING MUCH BETTER.  THEREFORE...WILL GO MAINLY WITH SHRA FOR MOST
OF DAY WITH GRADUAL MIGRATION TO TSRA BY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY.

...ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT IN WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA...

...NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER
EAST AND NORTH GEORGIA...

.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE DENNIS WILL COME ASHORE IN ALABAMA THIS EVENING AND MOVE
INTO NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI BY MONDAY.  STRONG EAST WINDS WILL PREVAIL
OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.PRIMARY HAZARD...
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.  THE PRIMARY HAZARD WILL BE DAMAGING
DOWNBURST WINDS AND ISOLATED...SHORT-LIVED TORNADOES.  THE SEVERE
THREAT WILL BE GREATEST SOUTHWEST OF A LINE FROM LAGRANGE TO MACON TO
VIDALIA.  THIS THREAT IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AROUND NOON AND WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS MONDAY.

ELSEWHERE IN THE STATE...THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON
HEATING AND IN RESPONSE TO THE EFFECTS OF HURRICANE DENNIS.
LIGHTNING AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD IN THESE
STORMS. THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE AFTER 2
P.M.

.DISCUSSION...
A THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER EXISTS IN WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA WHICH IS
CLOSEST TO THE RIGHT-FRONT QUADRANT OF HURRICANE DENNIS.  THIS IS THE
QUADRANT IN WHICH FAVORABLE SHEAR SUPPORTS SMALL...ROTATING UPDRAFTS.
 A COUPLE STORMS IN WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA MAY BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO
SUPPORT A BRIEF TORNADO AND/OR DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS.

FARTHER TO THE NORTHEAST...THE SHEAR PROFILE WILL WEAKEN
CONSIDERABLY...BUT THE INSTABILITY IS GREATER.  CAPES IN THIS AREA
ARE EXPECTED TO REACH NEAR 1500.  THIS MODERATE INSTABILITY...ALONG
WITH THE FORCING OF THE HURRICANE...WILL YIELD AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS WITH LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS...AND HEAVY RAIN.
FLOODING WILL BE A THREAT WITH ANY STORMS IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
GEORGIA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL SHOULD MONITOR
WEATHER CONDITIONS...AND BE READY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.DAY TWO THROUGH DAY SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE EACH DAY.
