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.
An upper trough across the Ohio and Tennessee Valley was dropping south into the southeast U.S. and rapidly trending toward a deep, cold core upper low. The first wave of inclement weather associated with this system occurred as an area of widespread moderate to heavy rain, with a line of strong thunderstorms along the leading edge. While none of these thunderstorms became severe on the 26th, tornado watches were in effect for much of north and central Georgia during the afternoon and evening and some storms along the leading edge of activity exhibited at least weak mesocyclones across east central Georgia. A tornado warning was issued for a storm in southern Wilkes county during the late afternoon. However, no tornado developed with this storm. Widespread rainfall of two to three inches was common across east and south Georgia, with rainfall in excess of four inches in parts of Oglethorpe county. Some flooding was observed in the Warner Robins area during the evening where rainfall of three to four inches was common. This was the first widespread rain for the area since late August, so flooding in general was not an issue, despite the heavy rainfall.

329 PM EDT SUN SEP 26 2010
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
LATEST HAND ANALYSIS PLACES THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OVER EAST CENTRAL AL AND WEST CENTRAL GA...NEAR THE METRO
COLUMBUS AREA. THIS PLACEMENT IS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN ANY OF
THE MODELS INDICATED AS AN 18Z LOCATION. EXPECT THIS LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM TO TRACK ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA ALONG STATIONARY FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN MODELS ARE PROGGING...AS
UPPER LONGWAVE TROUGH DEEPENS AND DIPS INTO THE SOUTHEAST INTO
MONDAY. CENTER OF UPPER LOW OVER MIDWEST...WHICH DOES INITIALIZE
WELL...AND LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE ALLOWING THE TROUGH TO EXTENDED
FURTHER INTO THE SOUTHEAST...WITH A NEARLY NEUTRAL TROUGH AXIS AND
VERTICALLY STACKED LOW BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE LOW BEGINS TO
LIFT OUT OF THE REGION AND OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY EARLY
TUESDAY...USHERED BY THE LOW ALOFT. DRY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO GA
RATHER QUICKLY BEHIND THE LOW...ALTHOUGH N GA DOES RUN THE RISK OF
SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND ISOLATED CONVECTION TUESDAY MORNING.
WITH MODERATE INSTABILITIES AND SOME DECENT SHEAR...EXPECT HEAVY
SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MONDAY.
CONTINUED CATEGORICAL POPS THROUGH MONDAY...AND THEN GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING POPS FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS ACROSS N GA BY TUESDAY MORNING. EXPECTING WIDESPREAD 1 TO 3
INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS THE CWA. SEE THE
HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.
RAIN COOLED AREAS ALREADY SEEING TEMPERATURES DIP DOWN INTO THE
UPPER 60S THIS AFTERNOON...AND ALTHOUGH CLOUD COVER AND RAIN WILL
KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS FROM GETTING TOO COOL...STILL EXPECTING AREAS
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY TO REACH THE UPPER 50S AND LOW 60S. GENERALLY
SIDED WITH THE COOLER MET FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS...AND MORE OF THE MAV
TO MAV-MET BLEND FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY. GUIDANCE IN BETTER
ALIGNMENT FOR TUESDAY HIGHS AND LOWS...SO GENERALLY WENT WITH
CONSENSUS.
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY PROGGED TO REMAIN SITUATED ALONG THE GA COAST AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE LONG TERM. EXPECT
THIS BOUNDARY TO KEEP BEST MOISTURE OVER ATLANTIC...WITH NE FLOW
DOMINATING THE CWA. MODELS IN DISAGREEMENT WITH POTENTIAL TROPICAL
ACTIVITY INTO LATE WEEK...WITH THE GFS PULLING A TROPICAL LOW
ACROSS FLORIDA BY THURSDAY AND TRACKING IT ACROSS THE SOUTH AND
NORTH CAROLINA COASTS. GFS SPINS UP ANOTHER TROPICAL LOW OVER THE
WEEKEND EAST OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. ECMWF HINTS AT BOTH OF
THESE DISTURBANCES...BUT IS A LITTLE SLOW TO COMMIT TO EITHER
SYSTEM. FOR NOW...REGARDLESS OF THE MODEL...IT SEEMS THAT THE
ACTIVITY WILL STAY JUST TO THE EAST OF THE CWA...AND HAVE OPTED TO
CONTINUE WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF POPS THROUGH THE LONG TERM.
TIME WILL TELL WHETHER THESE WILL HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED AT A LATER
POINT.
MADE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE LONG TERM.
EXPECT THINGS TO HEAT BACK INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S AS HIGH PRESSURE
TAKES HOLD OVER THE REGION.

UPDATED 18Z...
WINDS IN METRO ATL AREA WILL GENERALLY REMAIN E EXCEPT FOR VRB WHEN
A SHRA/TSRA MOVES THROUGH. WILL BECOME W BY 12-14Z MONDAY AS LOW
MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. MAINLY EXPECT SHRA...WITH ISOLD TSRA. MAY
SEE TS OVERNIGHT AS SFC LOW MOVES THROUGH...EVEN THOUGH INSTABILITY
IS SOMEWHAT WEAK AT THIS TIME. CIGS AND VSBYS WILL BE VERY DEPENDENT
ON SHRA...AND HAVE TRIED TO SHOW MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS TEMPO IFR/LIFR.
IN GENERAL...RA IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW.

.HYDROLOGY...
WIDESPREAD 1 TO 3 INCHES...WITH LOCAL HEAVIER AMOUNTS BETWEEN 4 TO 5
INCHES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY. AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
TRACKS ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...THE LOW WILL PULL AMPLE GULF MOISTURE ACROSS THE
AREA...AND WILL RESULT IN EXTENDED PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL. LATEST FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE GENERALLY IN THE 3
TO 4.5 INCH RANGE FOR 1 AND 3 HR...AND GIVEN THE RECENT DRY SPELL
ACROSS THE AREA...MOST OF THE CWA CAN HANDLE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF
RAINFALL. HOWEVER...SOME ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD AND MINOR FLOODING OF
CREEKS AND RIVERS MAY BE POSSIBLE IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE REPEATED OR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL. PORTIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA ARE IN
A FLOOD WATCH THROUGH MONDAY. PLEASE REFER TO THE FLOOD WATCH FOR
ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND INFORMATION.
