Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
The upper ridge over the southeast U.S. weakened some as a strong upper trough was moving through the Ohio Valley and northeast U.S. A weak nearly stationary front was located across the Tennessee Valley. These systems were close enough to combine with moisture and afternoon heating and instability to produce scattered thunderstorms once again, a few of which became severe and produced marginal severe hail and downbursts.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 30, 4:35 PM EST, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 535 PM EDT SAT JUN 30 2007 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... CURRENT RADAR LOOP SHOWS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO POP UP ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN GA. LOOKING FOR SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS AS THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONTINUES. CURRENTLY THE SEMI-STATIONARY PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE U.S. A WEAK UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT SW INTO THE CENTRAL GULF OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WITH THIS RIDGE WEAKENING IT WILL ALLOW A FEW SHORT WAVES IN WESTERLY FLOW TO AFFECT THE AREA. THERE IS ALSO A WEAK FRONT ACROSS TN/AR/OK THAT IS ACTING AS A GOOD FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION. TROPICAL MOISTURE COMING IN FROM THE GULF AND THE PACIFIC INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IS ALSO HELPING TO KEEP THIS WEAK FRONTAL STRUCTURE ALIVE. GA HAS BEEN IN THIS VERY SLOW MOVING PATTERN FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW BUT THE MODELS ARE INDICATING A CHANGE IS COMING. MODELS SHOW A RATHER LARGE UPPER TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE THE UPPER EAST COAST THEN BUILDING SOUTHWARD DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD THROUGH MON. THERE IS ALSO A SURFACE RIDGE THAT BEGINS BUILDING SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION SUN/MON. THIS WILL PUSH THE FRONT SLOWLY SOUTH INTO GA AND EVENTUALLY INTO N FL THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT. AS THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH...SO WILL THE FEED OF TROPICAL MOISTURE. MY ONLY CONCERN IS THE MOS GUIDANCE HAS NOT BEEN DOING A VERY GOOD JOB WITH PICKING UP ON THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA. ALSO THE MODELS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR TRYING TO PUSH A FRONTAL SYSTEM THROUGH THE STATE TO FAST ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR. WITH TODAY BEING A MODERATELY UNSTABLE DAY (CAPES 2000-3000...LIFTED INDICES -3 TO -6...PW 1.7 AND PE 1.3) AND IT EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MON WILL CONTINUE WITH EARLIER THINKING OF HIGH CHANCE POPS DURING THE DAY AND ISOLATED POPS AT NIGHT. ALL IN ALL LOOKING FOR ANOTHER DAY OR 2 OF HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING. TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR OF SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... THE BIGGEST FEATURE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE THE THE EASTERN U.S. TROUGH THAT IS EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN. THE ONLY PROBLEM AS STATED EARLIER IS NOT SURE IF THE MODELS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE SITUATION AND TRYING TO MOVE THINGS TOO FAR SOUTH TOO FAST. WITH THIS IN MIND WILL CONTINUE WITH A DIURNAL TREND TO THE POPS THROUGH DAY 7. IF THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM DOES MOVE SOUTH INTO N FL BY TUE N GA WILL DRY OUT A BIT. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE A WATCH AND SEE SITUATION TO TRY TO GET A BETTER HANDEL ON THINGS. && .AVIATION...LITTLE PATTERN CHANGE FOR THE FORECAST AREA.
