The combination of moist southwesterly flow ahead of a deep trough aloft and a tropical low in the Gulf of Mexico brought copious amounts of moisture to the state on the 5th and 6th. On the 6th, the upper trough continued to dig, allowing a cold front to approach, which served to focus convection.

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
The combination of moist southwesterly flow ahead of a deep trough aloft and a tropical low in the Gulf of Mexico brought copious amounts of moisture to the state on the 5th and 6th. On the 6th, the upper trough continued to dig, allowing a cold front to approach, which served to focus convection. Numerous showers and thunderstorms developed through the period, with a few of these producing enough rain for flash flooding. One thunderstorm was briefly able to reach severe limits in Atlanta, with several reports of trees 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 Jun 5, 2:05 PM EST, 4 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 305 PM EDT WED JUN 5 2013 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... SHORT TERM GUIDANCE STARTS OFF IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH WIDE UPPER TROUGH DOMINATING THE AREA...AND OF COURSE THE LOW IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS LOW IS PROGGED TO LIFT NORTHEAST AND PHASE WITH THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AS A SURFACE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LATTER SYSTEM PUSHES INTO THE SOUTHEAST. AS WE MOVE THROUGH TODAY INTO TOMORROW...THE NAM IS A LITTLE SLOWER AND SHARPER WITH THE UPPER TROUGH...WHICH ALLOWS THE GULF LOW TO LIFT NORTH TO NORTH-NORTHWEST AND INTENSIFY...MAKING LANDFALL IN THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE LATE ON THURSDAY. THIS SOLUTION HOWEVER IS NOT AT ALL SUPPORTED BY THE OTHER GLOBAL MODELS...AND THE NAM IS THUS NOT BEING CONSIDERED FOR THIS PACKAGE ESPECIALLY AFTER 06Z TONIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MANY HI-RES MODELS...INCLUDING OUR LOCAL WRF AND THE SREF...USE NAM MEMBERS AND THUS ALSO MUST BE THROWN OUT. THE GFS IS ON THE FAST SIDE OF THE ENVELOPE...ZIPPING THE GULF LOW NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND INTENSIFYING IT NEAR CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA BY 06Z FRIDAY /AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE NAM IS STILL PUSHING THE SYSTEM ONSHORE NEAR FORT WALTON BEACH FLORIDA/. SO...HAD TO GO WITH MAINLY THE ECMWF WITH SOME GFS MIXED IN. DID INCORPORATE HRRR AND LOCAL WRF REFLECTIVITY FIELDS INTO THE POP/WX GRIDS FOR TONIGHT AS THESE SEEM TO BE CAPTURING ONGOING CONVECTION VERY WELL...BUT AS MENTIONED ABOVE BEYOND 06Z TONIGHT HAD TO REMOVE LOCAL WRF FROM CONSIDERATION. SO...ALL THAT SAID...LOOKS LIKE THE GULF LOW WILL BE LIFTING NORTHEAST AND BRINGING WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN TO PORTIONS OF NORTH FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. IN THE MEANTIME...CONVECTION AHEAD OF TE APPROACHING FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. HAVE PRETTY HIGH POPS SOUTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST TONIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS...AND DEPENDING ON HOW FAR INTO THE STATE THE PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTION GETS TONIGHT...MAY HAVE TO INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE METRO AREA BUT FOR NOW KEPT THE METRO AT HIGH CHANCE POPS. SBCAPES ACROSS THE AREA HAVE INCREASED TO BETWEEN 1000-2000 J/KG...THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE NOT HIGHER IS THAT CLOUDS HAVE KEPT TEMPS DOWN THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON BUT WITH A SCATTERING TREND IN CLOUD COVER...INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE. MODIFIED 12Z KFFC SOUNDING HAD AROUND 2500 J/KG FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THAT SAID...AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE FRONT...CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW STRONG TO AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM ESPECIALLY IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA. HEAVY RAIN AND LIGHTNING REMAIN THREATS AS WELL. FOR THURSDAY...AS THE TWO MAIN FEATURES INTERACT /APPROACHING FRONT AND GULF LOW/...HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY OR CATEGORICAL AREA-WIDE. QPF VALUES REMAIN BELOW 2 INCHES FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT SO AT THIS TIME AM NOT CONSIDERING ANY FLOOD WATCH PRODUCTS... THOUGH OF COURSE AS NEW GUIDANCE COMES IN THIS WILL HAVE TO BE REEVALUATED /ESPECIALLY IF THE NAM EVER CATCHES UP/. AS FAR AS SEVERE POTENTIAL...IT WILL REALLY DEPEND ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE LOW BUT THE SITUATION FOR TOMORROW DOES NOT LOOK VERY IMPRESSIVE EXCEPT AGAIN IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA WHERE SOME CLEARING MAY OCCUR EARLIER IN THE DAY TO ALLOW INSTABILITY TO RISE. EVEN THEN...ONLY ISOLATED SEVERE AT BEST AT LEAST FOR NOW. AS WITH THIS EVENING...THE ENTIRE AREA IS IN A GENERAL THUNDER CATEGORY ON SPC DAY2 OUTLOOK. WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER THURSDAY SHOULD KEEP TEMPS TONIGHT ON THE WARM SIDE OF SEASONAL NORMALS...AND HIGH TEMPS TOMORROW ON THE COOL SIDE. IT WILL BE HUMID ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL GEORGIA...BUT WITH THE FRONT MOVING IN FOR THE EXTENDED THE TREND WILL BE TOWARD MORE PLEASANT CONDITIONS. TDP .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MAINLY JUST TWEAKS TO THE LONG TERM WITH SIGNIFICANT MODEL DIFFERENCES CONTINUING EARLY ON. HEAVY RAIN STILL A CONCERN BUT HIGHLY DEPENDANT ON THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW. BDL PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... EXTENDED PERIOD LOOKS TO BE AN ACTIVE ONE INITIALLY AS GULF LOW GETS CAUGHT UP IN SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES LATE THURSDAY. HYBRID TYPE SYSTEM THEN LOOKS TO MOVE ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA AND INTO THE ATLANTIC WITH FORECAST MUCH DEPENDENT ON FINER DETAILS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THIS FAR OUT. GFS DEVELOPS A SECONDARY LOW OFF THE COAST WHILE LEAVING GENERAL TROUGHING ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF. THE ECMWF KEEPS SYSTEM MORE IN TACT BUT PRIOR 12Z RUN SHOWS SMALLER SCALE LOW DEVELOPING OVER SOUTH GEORGIA WHICH WOULD BRING NE CONVERGENT FLOW AND SUSTAINED HEAVY RAINFALL TO THE AREA. WILL AWAIT 00Z EURO RUN BEFORE MAKING FINAL DECISIONS BUT PLAN TO SHOW INITIAL PUSH OF LIKELY POPS FROM THE SOUTHEAST THU NIGHT AND THEN A SECONDARY ZONE OF LIKELY POPS COMING IN FRIDAY WITH STRONG SOUTHERNS STREAM SHORTWAVE. ALTHOUGH PLACEMENT AND DURATION OF HEAVY RAINFALL AXIS IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT...DID INCREASE QPF OVER HPC VALUES GIVEN LIKELY TROPICAL NATURE OF AIRMASS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THEREAFTER...AREA WILL REMAIN IN OVERALL EAST COAST TROUGH PATTERN BUT MOISTURE LOOKS TO BE LIMITED FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW END CHANCE POPS. MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGE LOOKS TO BUILD IN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...YIELDING WARMING AFTERNOON TEMPS AND A NORTHWEST FLOW THUNDERSTORM REGIME. DEESE && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... CONVECTION FIRING ACROSS THE AREA AT TAF TIME...WITH HI-RES MODEL GUIDANCE BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL ROUNDS THROUGH THE EVENING AND AGAIN TOMORROW. BEST COMPROMISE IS TO START WITH TEMPO TSRA EVERYWHERE THIS AFTERNOON WITH VCSH COVERING A LONGER WINDOW... WITH PREVAILING SHRA AND THEN TSRA ON THURSDAY. MVFR TO LOW VFR CIGS THIS AFTERNOON WILL DROP AFTER 06Z TO IFR JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE EXCEPT POSSIBLY CSG...WITH A LIFTING TREND STARTING BETWEEN 14-15Z THURSDAY. ESE WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD GRADUALLY SHIFTING MORE SE LATE. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...

The Atlanta radar (KFFC), 42 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 23:05 UTC.
6 flash flood, 1 thunderstorm wind. Local standard time, as filed.
The broadcast media relayed a report that a tree fell on a truck off Gaston Street. Several additional trees were down across power lines off Newport Street.
Intense heavy rainfall of 3.23 inches in 100 minutes at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport caused significant flooding on portions of Interstate 285 at the Camp Creek Parkway intersection. Several cars stalled out in the flood waters.
A USGS stream gage on Nancy Creek at Johnson Ferry Road reached flood stage of 16 feet. The creek crest at 16.2 feet. This caused minor flooding in the woodlands along the creek and on the athletic fields of the Marist High School campus. Flooding of residential yards occurred also.
Intense heavy rain caused a dam breach of a 7 acre pond by Roswell Road. An access road over the dam was the only entrance into a neighborhood which is now cutoff. Erosion caused severe damage to the access road.
A USGS stream gage on North Fork Peachtree Creek at Buford Highway reached flood stage of 13 feet. The creek crest at 13.7 feet. Minor flooding occurred in the backyards of residential homes along the creek.
Around 3.5 inches of rain in less than 3 hours caused a pond to overflow Sunset Blvd. Rapidly flowing water caused severe erosion and dug a six foot deep hole in front of a culvert pipe on Grandchester Way.
Portions of at least 6 roads in the Dexter, Cadwell and Rentz areas had 6 inches or more of flowing water over the roads from nearby ditches and small streams.
