The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
An upper short wave moved into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys on the 18th, while plentiful Gulf moisture remained across the area. This combined with daytime heating allowed numerous showers and thunderstorms to develop in the afternoon and evening. Several storms were able to reach severe limits with 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 Jun 18, 2:23 PM EST, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 323 PM EDT TUE JUN 18 2013 ...WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING... .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE NOW CENTERED OVER EASTERN VIRGINIA THROUGH THE CAROLINAS WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY NOW ENTERING NORTHERN ALABAMA AND GEORGIA. ACTIVITY HAS BLOSSOMED AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE...DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF DRY AIR MOVING IN AT THE MID LEVELS ON THE HEELS OF THIS MORNINGS SHORTWAVE. DRY AIR HAS HOWEVER LIMITED THE OVERALL VERTICAL EXTENT OF INDIVIDUAL STORMS AS HAS LIMITED SURFACE HEATING DUE TO ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER. HAVE CHOSEN FOR THESE REASONS TO CARRY PREDOMINANT SHRA WITH JUST ISOLATED TSRA FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE ATLANTA METRO. AXIS FOR SHORTWAVE ENERGY TRANSPORT SHIFTS SOUTH DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD BUT NOT AS MUCH AS PREVIOUS RUNS HAD SHOWN,. FOR THIS REASON...CANNOT PULL POPS ENTIRELY DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD FOR ANY ZONES BUT WILL INSTEAD BACK OFF TO CHANCE POPS THROUGH 12Z FOR SOUTHERN ZONES AND SLIGHT CHANCE TO THE NORTH. LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE SOME LOW CLOUDS FOR THE NORTHERN SECTIONS IN THE POST FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT TONIGHT BUT FOG WILL BE LESS OF A CONCERN GIVEN THE ELEVATED WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE. ALTHOUGH MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL NOT BE AS PREVALENT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM...AREA WILL REMAIN IN OVERALL WEAK UPPER TROUGH PATTERN WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES TO MOVE THROUGH. FEEL THIS WILL BE ENOUGH TO KEEP POPS ABOVE GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD BUT MUCH LESS THAN WHAT WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS. THIS TRANSLATES INTO MID RANGE POPS FOR THE SOUTHERN TIER THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A SHARP POPS GRADIENT TO JUST SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THE NORTHERN PORTIONS. DEESE .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY HAVE DECREASED THE POPS EVER SO SLIGHTLY SINCE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A LOWER CHANCE OF POPS. AS OF THE 12Z MODELS...HYBRID WEDGE IS STILL BEING IDENTIFIED. LONG TERM MODELS HAVE BEGUN TO COME IN AGREEMENT ABOUT THE PLACEMENT OF HIGH PRESSURE LATER IN THE PERIOD. AS SUCH...HAVE ADJUSTED THE POPS DOWN IN SOME OF THE LATER PERIODS. OTHERWISE...NO SIG CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...SEE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW. ARG .HYDROLOGY... WITH THE APPROACH OF SHORTWAVE...WINDS IN THE MID LEVELS HAVE INCREASED ALLOWING FOR MUCH FASTER MOTION OF STORMS THAN PREVIOUS DAYS. DESPITE THIS...STILL AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME TRAINING OF STORMS AND WITH SOME AREAS RECEIVING CLOSE TO 6 INCHES IN THE LAST 24 HOURS...FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A CONTINUED CONCERN. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 745 AM EDT TUE JUN 18 2013/ LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH MAIN INFLUENCING FEATURES THROUGH THE LONG TERM. THERE LOOKS TO BE LITTLE TO NO UPPER LEVEL FORCING FOR ASCENT THROUGH THE PERIOD AS BROAD UPPER RIDGE BECOMES SITUATED ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS. FRONT LOOKS TO LINGER NEAR SOUTHERN GA THROUGH THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. HAVE GENERALLY FOCUSED CHANCE POPS ACROSS SOUTHERN TIER AND SLIGHT POPS ELSEWHERE AS CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE. AS 1025-MB SFC HIGH PUSHES EASTWARD AND SETTLES OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST...HYBRID CAD AND ASSOCIATED INVERTED RIDGING WILL SETUP ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST. THIS SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN PORTIONS OF THE EAST AND FOCUS BETTER CHANCES NEAR THE WEDGE PERIPHERY FROM THURSDAY INTO SUNDAY. LOW LEVEL FLOW AND ANY OVERRUNNING MOISTURE DOES NOT APPEAR TO CATER TO ISENTROPIC ENHANCEMENT OF PRECIP...THOUGH SOME OROGRAPHICALLY ENHANCED DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTH. ALL CONSIDERED...HAVE FOCUSED CHANCE POPS THROUGH THIS PERIOD NEAR THE SOUTHERN TIER AND FAR NORTH WITH SLIGHT POPS ELSEWHERE. SFC HIGH WEAKENS AND SLIDES FARTHER SOUTH BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND...WHILE SOME BETTER NORTHERN GULF AND SOUTH ATLANTIC MOISTURE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO WORK INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHEAST. HAVE RAISED POPS SLIGHTLY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THOUGH DISCREPANCIES STILL EXIST AMONG THE MODEL SOLUTIONS. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL VALUES WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S AND LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. BAKER AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... MAIN AXIS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IMPACTING THE SOUTHERN MOST TERMINALS THUS FAR TODAY WITH A BREAK PRECIP WISE FOR THE ATL TERMINALS. THIS SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED HOWEVER AS ACTIVITY BUILDS BACK IN FROM THE NORTHWEST LATER TODAY ALLOWING FOR PREDOMINANT SHRA AND TEMPO TSRA ALONG WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT OF MVFR CIGS. AS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM PASSES THE AREA...CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE FROM NW TO SE WRT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BUT CIGS SHOULD LOWER BACK INTO THE MVFR RANGE AS PREDOMINANT AFTER 08Z. HAVE LEFT CSG AND MCN DRY FOR NOW ON WEDNESDAY BUT LATER FORECASTS MAY REQUIRE PROB30 FOR TSRA DEPENDING ON HOW FAR SOUTH MOISTURE AXIS PROGRESSES. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...

THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PUSHES EASTWARD AND ENHANCES DEVELOPMENT IN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. THE GREATEST CHANCE WILL BE ACROSS ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. WHILE PORTIONS OF THE AREA HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN...THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT WILL BE HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING...ALONG WITH FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA. WHILE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS...A SEVERE WIND GUST REMAINS POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. ALSO...THOSE ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING OR URBAN AREAS SHOULD REMAIN CAUTIOUS FOR THE POTENTIAL OF QUICK PONDING OF WATER WITH STRONGER STORMS OR TRAINING OF MULTIPLE CELLS OVER THE SAME AREA. TREES MAY ALSO BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FALL IN AREAS WITH MOIST AND LOOSENED SOIL. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY... A WEAK FRONT TRAILING BEHIND THE AFOREMENTIONED DISTURBANCE LOOKS TO STALL NEAR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE GREATER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO REMAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE AREA...THOUGH ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD MAINTAIN AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE. A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM LOOKS TO BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST FOR THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WHICH MAY SERVE TO LIMIT THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST AND POSSIBLY FOCUS DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE PERIPHERY TOWARD THE SOUTH AND FAR WEST. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE FOR TERRAIN INDUCED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT DURING THE DAYTIME PERIODS FOR FAR NORTH GEORGIA. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY SEVERE WEATHER...FLOODING AND DAMAGE.
