The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
The upper ridge located west of the area began to broaden and damp on the 6th, while the surface boundary continued to remain in place across the state. As had been the case for the past several days, numerous showers and thunderstorms developed in the afternoon and evening hours. Several of these storms reached severe levels, with mostly damaging winds reported.
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 Jul 6, 1:13 PM EST, 2 hours 50 minutes earlier.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS POSITIONED ACROSS THE MIDWEST INTO THE
WEEKEND...BUT IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AND BROADEN THROUGH SATURDAY.

UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED...WITH
POSSIBLE ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. THIS AFTERNOON...CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO BE FOCUSED ACROSS SOUTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...WITH LESS
COVERAGE AREA FURTHER NORTH. AS SURFACE LOW FEATURE DEVELOPS OVER THE
DEEP SOUTH SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...BEST PRECIP CHANCES TRANSITION OVER

CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ANY SURFACE BOUNDARIES
REMAINING IN PLACE AFTER CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY DIMINISHES TONIGHT WILL
IMPACT WHERE THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN FIRING AGAIN TOMORROW. MAIN CONCERN
WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...LIGHTNING...AND BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS...BUT

ACROSS THE AREA /PRECIPITABLE WATERS NEAR 2 INCHES/...AND PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY /SURFACE CAPES GREATER THAN 1500 EACH AFTERNOON/ WITH
DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES NEAR OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIODS. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES ARE ON THE COOL SIDE LATER IN
