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.
A broad, closed upper low remained nearly stationary off the southeast U.S. coast. Ample moisture, heating, and instability continued across the region. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms developed across north Georgia and propagated along southwestward moving outflow boundaries. A few became strong to severe on the northwest side of Atlanta.
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 May 26, 2:49 PM EST, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 349 PM EDT WED MAY 26 2010 .SYNOPSIS... UNSETTLED AND COMPLICATED WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THIS FORECAST CYCLE. OVERALL UPPER ATMOSPHERIC FLOW REMAINS STAGNANT AND BLOCKED...WITH A DEEP UPPER LOW ACROSS THE PACIFIC NW...AND EVEN DEEPER UPPER LOW ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...AND A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE THROUGH THE CENTRAL U.S. MAIN FEATURE FOR THE SE U.S. THROUGH THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM IS THE PERSISTENT UPPER LOW OFF THE SE U.S. COAST. THIS LOW...WHICH ORIGINATED FROM THE SYSTEM THAT TRAVERSED THE U.S. LATE LAST WEEK...WILL BECOME ABSORBED IN THE LARGE SCALE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTH ATLANTIC UPPER LOW. HOWEVER...SHORT WAVE ENERGY...NOW LOCATED IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL CANADIAN PROVINCES...WILL ROTATE AROUND THE MID U.S. UPPER RIDGE AND THEN SLIDE DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC UPPER LOW AS A SUBTLE...YET SIGNIFICANT BACK DOOR UPPER TROUGH. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN YET ANOTHER WEAK CUTOFF UPPER LOW STAGNATING ACROSS THE GA/AL AREA AND PERSISTING INTO MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM...THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS WILL SEE ABOVE NORMAL CHANCES FOR SHRA/TSRA AND NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. 19 && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... THE UPPER LOW OFF THE SE U.S. COAST WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT FEATURE FOR THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM. DRIER AIR ADVECTED FROM VA/NC INTO GA LAST NIGHT AND RESULTED IN LOWER DEWPOINTS AND LOWER MIN TEMPS THIS MORNING THAN EVER ANTICIPATED YESTERDAY. AS EXPECTED YESTERDAY...THE DEEPEST MID-LEVEL MOISTURE HAS BEEN PUSHED WEST INTO W/FAR N GA...MIDDLE TN...AND AL...AND THIS IS WHERE THE SHRA/TSRA ARE DEVELOPING TODAY. ONLY ANTICIPATING ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY WHICH SHOULD DISSIPATE QUICKLY WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THE AIR MASS ACROSS THE STATE THU CONTINUES TO DRY AS THE UPPER LOW OFF THE SE U.S. COAST BECOMES ABSORBED INTO THE DEEPENING NORTH ATLANTIC UPPER LOW AND BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST AWAY FROM THE COAST. RESIDUAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW WILL DRIFT FURTHER SW INTO S AL AND S MS. NAM/ECMWF TEND TO HOLD ONTO SLIGHTLY DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS W GA THU AND HENCE CONTINUE LOW CHC POPS...WHILE THE GFS HAS ZERO POPS. GFS DID A VERY POOR JOB IN NW GA TODAY...WHERE EVEN 50 VILS BRIEFLY OCCURRED. WILL SIDE WITH NAM/ECMWF AND CONTINUE TO HOLD ONTO SLIGHT CHC POPS FAR N-W GA THU...BUT LEAVE OUT OF EASTERN AREAS. OVERALL THE AIR MASS IS RELATIVELY DRY AND STABLE THU AND IT SHOULD BE THE LEAST CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE DAY OF THE NEXT SEVEN. BY FRI AFTERNOON AND EVENING...A SHORT WAVE WITH A BACKDOOR ORIENTATION AND TIED TO THE DEEP NORTH ATLANTIC UPPER LOW PUSHES SOUTH FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC INTO GA. MODEL PROGGED INSTABILITY BY AFTERNOON QUITE IMPRESSIVE ACROSS N GA WITH CAPES OF 2000-3000J/KG AND LIS OF -6 TO -7. SPC HAS ALREADY OUTLOOKED NC/NE GA FOR SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TSRA FRI AFTERNOON/NIGHT...AND ONE COULD EASILY ARGUE THAT NW GA SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS AS WELL. POCKET OF DRY AIR ACROSS THE CWA THU IS NUDGED SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL GA FRI...WHICH SHOULD SEE THE LEAST CHC OF CONVECTION FRI. WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS FAR N TO SLIGHT CHC CENTRAL...AND INCLUDE MENTION OF SVR N GA...GENERALLY N OF I-85. SHEAR IS NIL...BUT RELATIVELY LOW FREEZING LEVEL...NW FLOW ALOFT...AND IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY SUGGEST LARGE HAIL THREAT AND MOST STORMS WILL PRODUCE FQT CG LIGHTNING AS WELL. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE ISOLD ENOUGH THAT QPF NOT A PROBLEM...EXCEPT ON A VERY LOCALIZED BASIS...MAINLY IN THE NE MOUNTAINS. FOR TEMPS...MAV MOS HAS BEEN BEST LAST SEVERAL CYCLES ON OVERNIGHT LOWS AND EXTENT OF 50 DEWPOINTS FOR LATE MAY. AFTER GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION LAST NIGHT AND WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN AIR MASS TONIGHT...WILL LEAN HEAVILY TOWARD THE MAV MOS TONIGHT...WHICH IN GENERAL IS ON THE COOL SIDE OF GUIDANCE. A MAV/MET MOS BLEND IN ORDER FOR MAX TEMPS FRI...AS MAV MOS APPEARS A TAD TWO WARM GIVEN RECENT HISTORY. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM...ONLY MINIMAL DIFFERENCES NOTED AMONG THE GUIDANCE PACKAGE. THU SHOULD BE THE WARMEST DAY IN N GA...AND FRI IN CENTRAL GA...WITH INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY NORTH. .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... THE EXTENDED PERIODS REMAIN QUITE UNSETTLED AND OVERALL CLOUDY...SEASONABLY COOL...AND WET. THE UPPER TROUGH THAT BUILDS SOUTH INTO THE REGION FRI-SAT...FORMS YET ANOTHER CUTOFF UPPER LOW ACROSS THE SE U.S. AS IT BECOMES CUTOFF FROM THE MEAN FLOW AND IS BLOCKED AND FORCED UNDER THE GREAT LAKES UPPER RIDGE. THE WESTERLIES REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE UPPER LOW AND REMNANT MOISTURE/INSTABILITY MEANDERING ABOUT AL AND THE W GA AREA THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. THE EXTENDED RANGE MODELS INDICATE DEAMPLIFICATION OF THE UPPER FLOW NEXT WEEK ALLOWING THE WESTERLIES TO SINK TOWARD 40 DEG LAT...AS OPPOSED TO CURRENTLY BEING IN SOUTHERN CANADA. THERE REMAINS A MEAGER ATTEMPT FOR A SHORT WAVE TRAVELING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE NE U.S. EARLY NEXT WEEK TO ATTEMPT TO PICK UP THE CUTOFF UPPER LOW ACROSS THE SE...BUT THIS DOES NOT APPEAR LIKELY. A STRONG UPPER SHORT WAVE AND AMPLIFICATION OF THE FLOW IS ADVERTISED BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN A DEEPENING EASTERN U.S. TROUGH. THIS MAY BE WHAT IS NECESSARY TO FINALLY PUSH THE PESKY UPPER LOW OUT OF THE AREA. UNTIL THAT POINT...SCT LARGELY DIURNAL SHRA/TSRA CAN BE EXPECTED EACH DAY...WITH A SLIGHT DECREASE IN COVERAGE AS WE PROGRESS FROM SUN-WED AS THE UPPER LOW WEAKENS. THE BEST COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF SHRA/TSRA SHOULD BE FOCUSED ACROSS W AND N GA THROUGH THE EXTENDED...AS SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR ALOFT LINGERS JUST EAST OF THE CWA. HAVE MADE VERY FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO EXTENDED POPS WITH CONTINUED LOW CHC TO CHC POPS EACH DAY...HIGHEST IN THE 18Z-06Z PERIOD. THE 12Z GFS HAS BACKED OFF ON BRINGING A STRONGER FRONT AND ATTENDANT CHC OF SEVERE TSRA INTO THE AREA THU-FRI OF NEXT WEEK. PREFER ECMWF SOLUTION OF LESS AMPLITUDE...AND A LESS IMPRESSIVE SYSTEM. AT ANY RATE...POPS CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM ANY DAY IN THE EXTENDED. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

WHILE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED...SOME OF THE STORMS COULD CONTAIN SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS EXTREME NORTHWEST GEORGIA..AND ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
