A TROPICAL WAVE APPROACHES THE E COAST OF FL TODAY...THEN LOOKS TO MOVE UP THE COAST OFFSHORE GA /SC THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THIS MOVEMENT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED BUT LOOKS TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA. THE DEEPENING OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND LOW PRESSURE OVER FL CAUSES A LARGE AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TO DEVELOP OVER THE NE GULF COAST TODAY THAT WILL TRY TO MIGRATE OVER GA/AL/TN ON MONDAY. THIS WILL HELP TO ENHANCE RAINFALL POTENTIAL SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER...ESPECIALLY MONDAY...DUE TO CLOUDS AND PRECIP POTENTIAL. .LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) THE SURFACE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE ACROSS AREA TUESDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO OUR W.

4 thunderstorm wind, 2 flash flood, 1 lightning. Local standard time, as filed.
The Dawson County 911 Center reported that a few trees were down.
The Lumpkin County 911 Center reported that repeated thunderstorms with gusty winds and heavy rain resulted in seven to eight trees being blown down scattered about the county. The events occurred during a rather large span in time, mostly between 10 am and noon EDT, and were not associated with any one storm. Heavy rain and saturated ground contributed to the downed trees.
The Dawson County Emergency Management Director reported that repeated heavy rainfall over the northeast portion of the county caused two roads to be flooded and closed. Estimated rainfall of three to five inches fell between 1000 am EDT and 1 pm EDT. This caused Cochrans Creek in northeast Dawson county to flood New Hope Road and Turnology Branch Road. Several other small creeks and streams in the area, including Gab Creek, also flooded. Minor flooding was also reported on Bailey Waters Road near Georgia Highway 136. The area most affected was between Juno and Amicalola Falls. Damage was minor and confined mainly to debris cleanup and minor road repair.
The Lumpkin County 911 Center reported that heavy rainfall in the far southwest corner of the county, southwest of Nimblewill and near the Dawson county line had resulted in flooding of Little Mountain Road. A culvert under the road was washed out and the road had to be closed as a result. The flooding was caused by Poverty Creek.
The public reported that four trees were blown down at a private residence.
The public reported that a lightning strike split a large oak tree and caused the tree to fall.
The Muscogee County 911 Center reported that a thunderstorm downburst downed a number of trees throughout the western portion of the county, including much of the Columbus metropolitan area and the northern portions of Fort Benning. The storm tracked roughly along and just east of the Alabama state line. Several power lines were also down as a result of the downed trees and a few homes had also sustained minor structural damage as a result of downed trees. Nearly 4800 people in the Columbus area were left without power for several hours after the storm.
