The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
Despite wet ground conditions, strong winds and low relative humidities following the departure of a strong storm system on the 15th, helped to fuel a couple of wild fires in the northeast mountains and another in Jasper county in central Georgia.
Jasper county - The Georgia Forestry Commission reported a wildfire in Jasper county in east central Georgia. This fire was started as a result of power lines arcing in the wind. The fire only consumed 1/2 acre.
Towns county - The Georgia Forestry commission reported a significant human-caused wildfire fueled by strong winds and low relative humidity in the mountains of Towns county. The fire, labeled Bear Meat, burned for over three days and consumed 18.0 acres.
Union county - The Georgia Forestry commission reported a human-caused wildfire, labeled number 195. The fire consumed 10 acres.
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 Apr 17, 3:16 PM EST, 1 hour 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 416 PM EDT FRI APR 17 2009 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... ANOTHER POTENT UPPER-LEVEL STORM SYSTEM ON THE WAY. IN MANY WAYS...THERE ARE SIMILARITIES TO LAST WEEKENDS SYSTEM. THERE ARE SOME SUBTLE DIFFERENCES...HOWEVER...BETWEEN THE TWO...THAT COULD RESULT IN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MINOR AND A MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE APPEARS TO BE IN THE OVERALL TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW...TRACKING GENERALLY ESE FROM THE MIDWEST...RESULTING IN AN INCREASINGLY POSITIVE TILTED TROUGH WITH TIME...EVENTUALLY LEADING TO A DEEP UPPER TROUGH ALIGNED ALONG THE EAST COAST...HENCE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. DRY AIR MASS REMAINS OVER THE REGION TODAY AS AN UPPER/SFC RIDGE HOLDS ACROSS THE SE U.S./MID-ATLANTIC IN ADVANCE OF THE MID U.S. SYSTEM. THE DRY/RELATIVELY COOL SFC AIR MASS WILL UNDERGO A BRIEF INTENSIFICATION OVERNIGHT/EARLY SAT AS THE UPPER RIDGE DRIFTS SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE AREA AND DAMPENS AND THE SFC RIDGE SINKS SOUTH UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE. BY SAT AFTERNOON...THE UPPER RIDGE/SFC RIDGE DRIFT EAST OF THE AREA...PUTTING THE AREA IN SW FLOW ALOFT. A LARGE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY SPREAD FROM THE LOWER MS VALLEY EASTWARD SATURDAY NIGHT...REACHING WEST GA EARLY SUN. IMPRESSIVE SHEAR AND MODEST INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY PROPEL THE ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT...BUT AS IT MOVES EASTWARD TOWARD GA INTO A SLIGHTLY COOLER/MORE STABLE AIR MASS SUN...IT WILL LIKELY DIMINISH DURING THE MORNING. CANNOT DISCOUNT SOME SEVERE THREAT...ESPECIALLY IN THE FORM OF DAMAGING WINDS...AS THIS COMPLEX APPROACHES THE CWA EARLY SUN GIVEN A 50-60KT LLJ AND LOW-LEVEL HELICITY IN EXCESS OF 500 M2/S2. HOWEVER...BIGGER CONCERNS ARISE SUN AFTN/EVE AS AN AXIS OF STRONGER INSTABILITY TRANSLATES ACROSS THE CWA...ALONG WITH STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR. A POTENTIAL DRY SLOT BEHIND EARLY MORNING ACTIVITY COULD ALLOW CLOUD BREAKS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A VERY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT BY SUN AFTERNOON. WITH MODEST TO STRONG SHEAR TRAVERSING THE AREA AT MIDDAY SUN...THE THREAT FOR SEVERE INCREASES. IT IS A CONDITIONAL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT AT THIS POINT...BUT SUN AFTERNOON COULD CLEARLY END UP BEING A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE THREAT WITH AN ENVIRONMENT SUITABLE FOR DISCRETE SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT...INCLUDING LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES. THIS THREAT TRANSLATES EASTWARD INTO EAST GA SUN NIGHT. QPF DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A MAJOR CONCERN...WITH A DIMINISHING MCS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA EARLY SUN AND ONLY SCT ACTIVITY SUN AFTERNOON/EVENING...NO WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED. LOCALIZED 2 INCH AMOUNTS 12Z-12Z MON...BUT OVERALL QPF AROUND 1 INCH. NO FFA PLANNED AT THIS TIME. MODELS IN AGREEMENT THAT INTENSIFICATION OF DRY AIR MASS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WILL ACTUALLY RESULT IN SLIGHTLY COOLER MIN TEMPS. WILL COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE WARMER MET AND COOLER MAV MOS. MAX TEMPS SAT SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE REACHING THE 70S MOST AREAS WITH ABUNDANT...ALBEIT INCREASINGLY FILTERED SUNSHINE. CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL ATTEMPT TO HOLD TEMPS DOWN SUN...BUT EXPECTING ENOUGH BREAKS BY AFTERNOON FOR MOST AREAS TO REACH THE 70S...HENCE INCREASING THE SEVERE THREAT AS NOTED ABOVE. .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A PATTERN CHANGE FOR THE LATER HALF OF APRIL. GFS/ECMWF AGREE THAT CURRENT UPPER LOW TRAVERSING THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S. WILL FINALLY BE THE LAST IN THE SERIES. THIS UPPER LOW HELPS CARVE OUT A FULL LATITUDE EASTERN U.S. TROUGH. THE POLAR VORTEX BECOMES QUITE STRONG...DOMINANT...AND PERSISTENT ACROSS THE NE U.S. THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL LEAD TO A RELATIVELY COOL...DRY PATTERN WITH PREVAILING NW FLOW ALOFT. STRONG CYCLONIC UPPER FLOW AND EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE DEEPENING POLAR VORTEX WILL LIKELY LEAD TO ABUNDANT INSTABILITY SC/CU AND POTENTIAL SHRA ACROSS N GA...ESPECIALLY IN COMBINATION WITH OROGRAPHIC LIFTING. THE PERSISTENT NATURE OF THE PATTERN WOULD SUPPORT THIS CONTINUING TUE AND EVEN INTO WED. THE ECMWF/GFS BEGIN TO DIVERGE AFTER WED...WITH THE GFS MUCH QUICKER TO BREAK DOWN THE STRONG POLAR VORTEX AND TRANSITION THE FLOW TO A WEAK ZONAL PATTERN ACROSS THE U.S. THE ECMWF DISSIPATES AND SHIFTS THE NE U.S. POLAR VORTEX EASTWARD MUCH SLOWER...KEEPING DRY NW FLOW ACROSS THE SE U.S. THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. IN EITHER CASE...BOTH MODELS INDICATE A GENERALLY DRY FORECAST FOR THE LATER HALF OF NEXT WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. MAX/MIN TEMPS DURING THE EXTENDED ARE PROBLEMATIC. THE MEX MOS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN ADVERTISED BY THE EXTENDED RANGE MODELS. THE 12Z MEX MOS APPEARS WAY TOO WARM GIVEN STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW AND 850MB TEMPS HOVERING NEAR 0C ACROSS N GA MUCH OF THE MID PART OF NEXT WEEK. I SIMPLY CANNOT SEE HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S WITH LOWS IN THE 50S. THE 12Z MEX MOS IS CLOSER TO REALITY THAN THE 00Z MEX MOS...BUT NEITHER ARE OVERALL REASONABLE. THE ENSEMBLE MOS INDICATES A HIGH SPREAD AMONG THE MEMBERS...WITH THE LOWEST SHOWING MAX TEMPS ONLY IN THE LOW 60S AT MID WEEK AND MIN TEMPS IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S. THIS IS MUCH MORE PLAUSIBLE GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. && .FIRE WEATHER... FUELS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA ARE RUNNING IN THE 8-9 PERCENT RANGE. MIN RH VALUES ARE PROGGED TO DROP INTO THE 22-24 PERCENT RANGE FOR FOUR HOURS OR MORE SAT AFTERNOON. GIVEN UNCERTAINTY OF INCREASING MOIST SE FLOW AND CLOUD COVER FROM UPSTREAM TSRA COMPLEXES...WILL ONLY GO WITH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH AT THIS POINT...AND LET MID SHIFT DECIDE IF IT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED TO A FIRE WEATHER WARNING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
