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.
The strong upper high remained over the Plains and desert Southwest, with a weak upper low across the Bahamas and an upper trough over Canada. A weak surface front was in place as well, stretching from the Great Lakes to the mid-Mississippi Valley. A shortwave in the flow pushed southeast during the day, pushing the upper high to the west and the front to the south. Once again, with ample moisture in place, showers and thunderstorms developed in the afternoon, lingering into the overnight hours. Several thunderstorms produced flash flooding, and several became severe with trees blown down.
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 10, 6:37 AM EST, 3 hours 53 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 737 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 357 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013/ SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... SYNOPTIC GUIDANCE CONTINUES IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. STRONG UPPER HIGH OVER THE PLAINS AND DESERT SOUTHWEST CONTINUES TO RIDGE INTO THE SOUTHEAST...UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE WEST OVER THE BAHAMAS AND STRAITS OF FLORIDA...AND UPPER TROUGH IN SOUTHERN CANADA/GREAT LAKES CONTINUES TO DIG SOUTH. SURFACE FRONT STRETCHED FROM THE GREAT LAKES BACK TOWARD THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING. SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE WEAKNESS ALOFT STRETCHED FROM THE GREAT LAKES DOWN TOWARD THE UPPER TENNESSEE VALLEY ON THE 00Z UA ANALYSES...ESPECIALLY EVIDENT AT 500 AND 700MB. AS THAT SHORTWAVE PUSHES EAST AND DIGS...THE UPPER HIGH WILL RETREAT SOMEWHAT. AS THE GREAT LAKES TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG AND THE ENTIRE WAVETRAIN INCREASES IN AMPLITUDE...THE FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH... ENTERING NORTH GEORGIA THURSDAY MORNING AND PUSHING ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE DAY...BUT PROGGED TO SLOW DOWN LATE IN THE DAY AND MAKE LITTLE PROGRESS ANY FARTHER SOUTH INTO THE EXTENDED. AMPLE MOISTURE /SURFACE DEWPOINTS PROGGED IN THE MID-70S ACROSS SOME OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON/ WILL CONTINUE WITH MODERATE TO HIGH CAPES IN PLACE. CONVECTION ONGOING AT AFD TIME IS PROGGED BY HIRES MODELS TO CONTINUE MAINLY ACROSS EASTERN ZONES THROUGH THE MORNING...MOVING SOUTH AND GRADUALLY DYING OUT DURING THE LATE MORNING HOURS...BUT AT THE SAME TIME SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD CONVECTION DEVELOPS AS A RESULT OF SHORTWAVE FORCING ALOFT AND CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY. HAVE GONE LIKELY POPS ACROSS MOST OF NORTH GEORGIA FOR THIS AFTERNOON. KEPT CHANCE POPS IN OVERNIGHT AS AMPLE MOISTURE AND SURFACE INSTABILITY CONTINUE WITH WEAKNESS ALOFT AND APPROACHING FRONT. HIRES MODELS DO MOSTLY INDICATE THAT THERE COULD BE A BREAK AROUND 12Z THURSDAY BUT THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. IN ANY CASE...EXPECT MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TO MOVE IN LATE THURSDAY MORNING INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE FRONT. THERE IS PROBABLY ENOUGH SUPPORT TO GO CATEGORICAL BUT STILL A LITTLE UNSURE ON TIMING OF BEST POPS...SO KEPT THEM LIKELY AT BEST FOR NOW. ALL THAT SAID...WITH THE ADDITION OF WEAK SHEAR FROM THE UPPER SYSTEM...LIFT AND SUPPORT FROM THE FRONT...PLUS CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY...EXPECT THAT NOT ONLY WILL COVERAGE INCREASE ON THURSDAY BUT INTENSITY AS WELL. CANNOT RULE OUT STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY LARGE HAIL. OF COURSE...WITH THE SATURATED SOILS IT WILL NOT TAKE 50KT WINDS TO GET TREES TO COME DOWN. THIS POINT CANNOT BE EMPHASIZED ENOUGH...AND RESIDENTS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR DOWNED TREES EVEN IN TECHNICALLY SUB-SEVERE STORMS. THE MAIN THREAT...HOWEVER...THROUGH THE SHORT TERM IS THE CONTINUED HEAVY RAIN. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW. TEMPS REMAIN AT TO JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL. BIAS-CORRECTED BLEND WORKED YESTERDAY AND SINCE TEMPS ARE CERTAINLY NOT THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...USED THE SAME BLEND FOR THIS FORECAST. TDP LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STILL SITUATED ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH PORTIONS OF THE CWFA ON FRIDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HEATING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL THAT COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING OF ALREADY SATURATED SOILS. MODELS HAVE THE FRONT BECOMING NEARLY DIFFUSE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL GA ON SATURDAY...BUT THE BOUNDARY COULD STILL PROVIDE SOME FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES. FORECAST FOR THE LATE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL DEPEND HEAVILY UPON THE TRACK OF CHANTAL. THE EXACT MOVEMENT OF CHANTAL WILL BE INFLUENCED BY THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND RIDGING BUILDING IN ALONG THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS. ALL INTERESTS IN GA SHOULD MONITOR THE FORECAST FOR T.S. CHANTAL OVER THE WEEKEND. PLEASE REFER TO NHC FOR THE LATEST TRACK GUIDANCE. NLISTEMAA HYDROLOGY... TWO ISSUES HERE...ONE FOR TODAY AND ANOTHER FOR TOMORROW. FOR TODAY...PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA HAVE REALLY GOTTEN HAMMERED THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. 1- 3- AND 6-HR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE PARTICULARLY LOW IN THESE AREAS. WITH THAT...HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE A SMALL-SCALE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THESE AREAS...GENERALLY EAST OF A LINE FROM GAINESVILLE TO WASHINGTON /WILKES COUNTY/. EXPECT A LARGER-SCALE THREAT FOR TOMORROW AND ALTHOUGH BASIN-AVERAGE QPF FOR THURSDAY IS LESS THAN AN INCH...THERE WILL BE LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS AND WITH SUCH SATURATED SOILS IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO PRODUCE FLOODING. FOR NOW WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HWO BUT EXPECT THAT A FLOOD OR FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL NEED TO BE ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA EITHER LATER TODAY OR TOMORROW MORNING. TDP && .AVIATION... 12Z UPDATE... VFR FOR MOST OF THE METRO TAFS AND CSG...THOUGH AHN AND MCN ARE VLIFR AFTER RAIN LAST NIGHT. MAY SEE BRIEF IFR TO LOW MVFR CIGS AT THE OTHER TAF SITES THIS MORNING BUT OTHERWISE VFR EXPECTED AFTER 14Z. EXPECT INCREASE IN SHRA THIS AFTERNOON WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED TSRA...SO WENT VCTS AT NORTHERN TAFS. BEST CHANCES 19-00Z. MAINLY VFR OVERNIGHT EXCEPT IF TSRA/SHRA LINGERS. MAY SEE BRIEF MVFR AROUND SUNRISE THURSDAY BUT THEN INCREASE IN TSRA COVERAGE AGAIN AFTER 15Z AS FRONT APPROACHES.

AMPLE MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE GROUND IS SATURATED AND ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN COULD LEAD TO FLOODING OR FLASH FLOODING. RESIDENTS ARE URGED NOT TO LET THEIR GUARD DOWN DURING THIS PROLONGED CONVECTIVE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL PERIOD. WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED... PERIODS OF MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA WHERE HEAVY RAINS HAVE FALLEN FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS AVERAGING AROUND HALF AN INCH CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. WHILE THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN IS NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH... SOILS ARE EXTREMELY SATURATED AND RIVER LEVELS ARE HIGH...THUS IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL FLOODING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS TO UP TO 40 MPH. WITH SATURATED SOILS...IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH WIND TO DOWN TREES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... ALTHOUGH THE RAINFALL THROUGH THE WEEK AND INTO THIS WEEKEND WILL NOT BE AS PROLONGED OR WIDESPREAD AS WHAT WE SAW LAST WEEK...THERE WILL STILL BE PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY THE CASE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS A FRONT MOVES INTO THE STATE. NORTH GEORGIA WILL AGAIN HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AND THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT ACCUMULATING HIGH RAINFALL TOTALS MAY LEAD TO MORE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA. PERSONS PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
