The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
An upper level disturbance moved through the area during the afternoon. With a warm and moist airmass in place, several showers and thunderstorms developed. One brought down a tree and resulted in a lightning fire.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
137 AM EDT THU AUG 15 2013
.UPDATE...
/ISSUED AT 845 PM EDT WED AUG 14 2013/
BASED ON RADAR...HAVE MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO POPS FOR NEXT FEW HOURS.
OTHERWISE NO CHANGES.

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT WED AUG 14 2013/
FORECAST IS FOR A WET SHORT TERM...PARTICULARLY ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA. TROUGH DOMINATES THE EASTERN CONUS WHILE THE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS SLIDES TO THE EAST AND SETS
UP A CAD FOR THURSDAY. THIS WILL HELP TO LIMIT OUR MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES FOR THURSDAY AND THEY WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL.
CURRENT FORECAST IS TO TIE THE RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AT CSG
AND MCN. DECENT UNCERTAINTY THOUGH AS TO WHERE THE BORDER FROM
EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVERAGE WITH THE WEDGE WILL SET UP.
FRONT IS ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND SHOWERS AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE CONTINUED TO RIDE ALONG THE FRONT. HAVE
SEEN SOME DEVELOPMENT ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA AND EXPECT AREAS CLOSER
AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT TO CONTINUE WITH THE GREATER CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT. SHOWERS ARE STILL POSSIBLE NORTH OF THE FRONT.
OVERNIGHT...WILL LOSE INSTABILITY WITH DAYTIME HEATING SO
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL DECREASE...HOWEVER MODELS ARE ALL IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH WIDESPREAD RAIN CONTINUING ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA
TONIGHT. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW DECENT QPF VALUES FOR CENTRAL
GEORGIA ON THURSDAY. IN FORECAST...HAVE CONTINUED WITH HIGH POPS
ACROSS THAT AREA AND SPREAD BETTER POPS NORTHWARD...WHICH IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE MODELS.
MAIN CONCERN WITH ALL OF THIS IN THE SHORT TERM IS RAINFALL AND
ADDITIONAL DETAILS CAN BE FOUND IN THE HYDROLOGY SECTION.
11
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT WED AUG 14 2013/
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO POINT TO A WET PERIOD THROUGH THE EXTENDED.
THE PROBLEM OF COURSE IS DIFFERENCES IN MODEL SOLUTIONS. WE START
THE EXTENDED THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A SURFACE LOW SOMEWHERE EITHER IN
SOUTHERN/SOUTHEAST ALABAMA OR SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...WITH HYBRID
DAMMING FIRMLY ENTRENCHED ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA. WIDESPREAD
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH THE STATIONARY FRONT
ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA AND ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE OVER THE STABLE
AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...BEFORE
THE TROPICAL CONNECTION TAKES HOLD IN EARNEST FRIDAY AND
ESPECIALLY SATURDAY.
FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE FOR THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY...BUT MODELS BEGIN DIVERGING TOWARD SATURDAY
ESPECIALLY WITH THE HANDLING OF THE TROPICAL LOW IN THE GULF. THE
00Z ECMWF AND THE NAM CONTINUE TO TAKE THE TRACK OF THE LOW TOWARD
THE WEST...BUT EVEN THERE THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENT AS THE
NAM REALLY STRENGTHENS THE LOW WHEREAS THE 00Z ECMWF BARELY HAS A
REFLECTION OF THIS IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE. SREF ALSO TRENDS TOWARD
THE BAY OF CAMPECHE. THE NEW 12Z ECMWF HOT OFF THE PRESS IS
ACTUALLY TRENDING A BIT FURTHER NORTH...TOWARD THE TEXAS GULF
COAST...MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS AND CANADIAN. LOOKING AT THE
SPREAD AMONG THE TROPICAL GUIDANCE...ONE CAMP FOLLOWS THE 00Z ECMWF
GROUP AND THE OTHER TAKES IT NORTH TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. IN A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE...NHC AND WPC HAVE FAVORED
THE GFS CAMP AND ARE TAKING THE LOW TOWARD THE GULF COAST. THIS OF
COURSE HAS IMPACTS ON EXPECTED QPF...THOUGH EVEN THE 00Z ECMWF HAD
QUITE A BIT OF QPF OVER THE WEEKEND BECAUSE OF THE DEEP TROPICAL
CONNECTION.
SO WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NAM AND PERHAPS THE SREF...NONE OF
THE GUIDANCE REALLY DEEPENS THE TROPICAL LOW...SO NOT REALLY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TROPICAL SYSTEM IN AND OF ITSELF BUT
RATHER THE ASSOCIATED IMPACTS...THE BIGGEST OF WHICH IS THE
RAINFALL /SEE HYDRO SECTION BELOW/. BUT WITH THE UPPER TROUGH IN
PLACE TO THE WEST WE ARE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A WEAK
/60-70KT/ UPPER JET AND INCREASING PVA THERE IS PROVIDES PLENTY OF
SYNOPTIC LIFT...PLUS ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE OVER THE COLD DOME ADDS TO
THIS AVAILABLE LIFT. ALSO WITH THE CAD COMES INCREASING LOW-LEVEL
SHEAR...GFS ON SATURDAY INCREASING 0-3KM SHEAR TO BETWEEN
40-50KT...WITH 0-1KM SHEAR ALMOST 30KT. WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A
TROPICAL SYSTEM APPROACHING THE GULF...ISOLATED SEVERE POTENTIAL
CERTAINLY CANNOT BE RULED OUT. MOIST ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES LIMIT
CAPE POTENTIAL EXCEPT FOR ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA /MLCAPES BETWEEN
500-1000 J/KG/ WHERE 0-3KM SHEAR IS MAXIMIZED...SO WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR FORECAST EVOLUTION FOR TORNADIC POTENTIAL SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.
THE OTHER BIG STORY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK IS THE ANOMALOUSLY
COOL TEMPERATURES. THE UNUSUAL COMBINATION OF HYBRID CAD WITH
INCREASING TROPICAL MOISTURE COMES HIGH TEMPS AROUND 10 DEGREES
BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS. SERIOUSLY...HOW OFTEN HAVE HIGH
TEMPS NOT GOTTEN OUT OF THE 70S FOR SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW IN
AUGUST? WE WILL BE FLIRTING WITH RECORD LOW HIGHS ESPECIALLY ON
SATURDAY. SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW.
TDP/19
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
/ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT WED AUG 14 2013/
THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR WIDESPREAD RAINFALL THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
INITIAL ROUND OF RAINFALL WILL BE OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY. GFS AND
ECMWF ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA...HOWEVER A GOOD BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE AMOUNTS. GFS IS
MUCH HIGHER WITH 3-6 INCHES ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA WHILE THE ECMWF
IS MORE IN THE 2-3 INCH RANGE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. OFFICIAL
FORECAST IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE ECMWF WITH LESS THAN ONE INCH
ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA AND 2-3 INCHES ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. 3HR FFG VALUES ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA ARE 3-4
INCHES. OVERALL CENTRAL GEORGIA SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS
INITIAL ROUND OF RAINFALL GIVEN THEY HAVE RECEIVED LESS RAINFALL
THAN NORTH GEORGIA THIS SUMMER AND DO NOT HAVE THE TERRAIN IMPACTS.
THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS ANY TRAINING OR LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS.
THE RAINFALL THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT THOUGH SHOULD PRIME THE AREA FOR
POTENTIAL FLOODING WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND.
WITH THIS INITIAL ROUND THOUGH...THINK ANY FLOODING SHOULD BE
ISOLATED AND WILL HOLD OFF ON A FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW TO SEE HOW
THINGS PAN OUT TONIGHT AND THURSDAY TO PRIME THE AREA FOR THIS
WEEKENDS EVENT.
FOR THE EXTENDED...LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD 1-3 INCHES WITH MOST OF
THAT FALLING ON SATURDAY AS THE TROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME PUSHES
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. SO THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...TOTAL BASIN
AVERAGE QPF UPWARDS OF 5 INCHES ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA...WITH 1-3
ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. OBVIOUSLY SOME AREAS MIGHT GET MORE. SOME
CONCERN THAT THE RAIN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WILL QUALIFY AS A
PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT AHEAD OF THE TROPICAL MOISTURE...WHICH
TEND TO SERVE TO ENHANCE RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL
SYSTEM ITSELF /IN THIS CASE ON SATURDAY/ AND SOMETIMES ARE NOT
GIVEN ENOUGH CREDENCE IN CONSIDERING OVERALL QPF. IN ANY
CASE...WITH THE RAIN EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WE
COULD HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. LUCKILY THE BULK OF THE RAIN
WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA BUT REALLY NORTH GEORGIA CANNOT
HANDLE MUCH MORE...AND EVEN CENTRAL GEORGIA MAY BE IN FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF RIVER FLOODING WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.
