The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
The front that approached the Southeast on the 10th remained stationary across north Georgia early on the 12th, but began to drift south during the day. The axis of deep tropical moisture remained over portions of Georgia, and once again showers and thunderstorms developed during the afternoon. Several of these became severe with mainly trees down, though there was one report of severe hail. One thunderstorm also produced flash flooding in north Georgia.
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 12, 2:49 PM EST, 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 349 PM EDT FRI JUL 12 2013 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS SAGGING SOUTH AND ACROSS THE METRO AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE HAS PROVIDED THE CONVERGENCE TO SPARK CONVECTION ALONG A LA GRANGE TO FOREST PARK TO CLEVELAND LINE THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED CONVECTION IS OCCURRING SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY... BUT EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME MORE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO SETTLE INTO CENTRAL GA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. ALTHOUGH A FEW STORMS COULD BE STRONG WITH 40-45 MPH WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN... NOT EXPECTING SEVERE STORMS AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER... WITH GROUNDS ALREADY SATURATED... MINOR FLOODING AND A FEW DOWN TREES IS POSSIBLE THROUGH MID EVENING AT LEAST. OTHERWISE... ISOLATED SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS POSSIBLE FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY... MAINLY ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL GA OVERNIGHT. THEN MODELS SHOW AN UPPER LOW... CURRENTLY SPINNING OVER KY/OH... RETROGRADING WESTWARD TONIGHT AND CONTINUING ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL DRAG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY NORTHWARD... SPREADING DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE BACK ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS A RESULT.. EXPECT LOW CLOUDS TO SPREAD OVER MUCH OF THE AREA TOWARDS MORNING... THEN GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING... WITH THE GREATER CHANCES FOR THUNDER GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF A CARROLLTON TO CLEVELAND LINE. THE CLOUDS AND DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD HOLD HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S ON SATURDAY... LIMIT INSTABILITIES ENOUGH TO HELP HOLD CONVECTION BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. THE INCREASING RAIN CHANCES SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL CONTINUE THE CONCERNS FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD PROBLEMS AGAIN ON SATURDAY. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE WARRANTED LATER THIS WEEKEND... BUT WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH LATER SHIFTS AND MODEL RUNS. 39 .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... LONG TERM FORECAST IS STILL ON TRACK ONLY CHANGE WAS TO INCREASE POPS SLIGHTLY ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON GIVEN LATEST GUIDANCE. OTHERWISE...ONLY MINOR TWEAKS TO THE GRIDS. SEE THE DISCUSSION BELOW FOR OVERALL THINKING. 11 LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... /ISSUED 412 AM EDT FRI JUL 12 2013/ LONG TERM BEGINS WITH THE CLOSED UPPER LOW DRIFTING WEST OF THE MID MS VALLEY...WITH A SOUTHEAST FLOW OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE CWA. THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO DRIFT WESTWARD WHILE THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY REGION. THIS PUTS THE CWA IN A DEEP EASTERLY FLOW OF ATLANTIC MOISTURE THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER THE CWA THROUGH THE PERIOD LOOK REASONABLE. PATTERN SHOULD BECOME MORE DIURNAL TOWARD MID WEEK AS THE UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO EXPAND OVER THE EASTERN STATES. 41 && .HYDROLOGY... THE GROUND ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA REMAINS MOIST. ALTHOUGH ONLY A QUARTER TO AN INCH OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. THE OVERALL AMOUNTS EXPECTED ARE BELOW 1HR FFG BUT IF HIGHER AMOUNTS OCCUR AND AREAS RECEIVE MULTIPLE DAYS OF RAINFALL...LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE. NOT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... MID LEVEL SCT-BKN CLOUDS WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AROUND THE ATLANTA AIRPORTS AS A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE METRO AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW VCSH THRU 23Z AT ATL AS EXPECT CONVECTION TO REMAIN SHOWERS WITH LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE AND UPPER SUPPORT. EXPECT TEMPO -TSRA AT CSG AND MCN THIS AFTERNOON WHERE THE DEEPER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITIES ARE POOLED. IFR CIGS WITH MVFR VSBYS RETURN TO ALL TAF SITES BY 08-10Z SAT AS AN EASTERLY FLOW SPREADS AMPLE LOW CLOUDS AND MOISTURE INLAND. THIS WILL ALSO RESULT IN SCT SHWRS/TSRA SAT AFTERNOON WITH DAYTIME HEATING. AN EAST WIND AT 09-11KTS WILL PREVAIL ON SAT. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
