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.
A cold front pushed across the Southeast U.S. on the 11th, with a very moist airmass in place ahead of the front. Once again, widespread showers and thunderstorms developed. A couple of these became severe with damaging winds reported, but some of these thunderstorms trained over the same areas of Madison and Emanuel Counties which dumped heavy rain and caused flash flooding of a few creeks.
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 11, 2:49 PM EST, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 349 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... ACTIVE SHORT TERM PERIOD CONTINUES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND HAVE CONTINUED WITH LIKELY POPS INTO THE EVENING HOURS. CLOUD COVERAGE OVER MUCH OF NORTH GEORGIA SHOULD KEEP CONVECTION SUB-SEVERE. THERE WERE ENOUGH BREAKS TO ALLOW FOR DECENT DIURNAL HEATING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...AND THE RESULTING ENHANCED INSTABILITY /STILL LOWER THAN TUESDAY/ WILL SUPPORT SOME STRONG STORMS. EXPECT THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY TO FIZZLE OUT INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED... PARTICULARLY IN AREAS WITH TRAINING STORMS. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STILL POSITIONED TO OUR NORTHWEST THURSDAY AND AMPLE MOISTURE ACROSS THE STATE...ANTICIPATE AT LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA AGAIN BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. BY LATE THURSDAY TROUGH FINALLY TRANSITIONS EASTWARD OVER THE CAROLINAS...WITH SOME WEAK RIDGING MOVING INTO THE STATE. THIS SHOULD KEEP CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE LIMITED...AND ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. FOR TEMPERATURES...HAVE GENERALLY GONE WITH A BLEND OF MODEL GUIDANCE. 31 && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO INCREASE POPS FOR SHOWER/STORM POTENTIAL FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS SHORTWAVE STILL ON TAP TO BRING BETTER STORM POTENTIAL FRIDAY...THEN LINGERING WEAK UPPER LOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OTHERWISE FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK AND PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... BAKER PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 421 AM EDT WED JUN 11 2014/ THE EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS AS A TRANSITION PHASE AS PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FINALLY SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA TO RESIDE OVER THE CAROLINAS. WILL ACTUALLY SEE SOME SUBTLE RIDGING BEHIND THE TROUGH WHICH SHOULD FOR THE INITIAL PART OF THE EXTENDED ON THU NIGHT...KEEP ACTIVITY TO A RELATIVE MINIMUM WITH SCT POPS MOVING OUT OF THE NE ZONES. THIS RIDGING LOOKS TO BE VERY TEMPORARY IN NATURE HOWEVER AS ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT TROUGH WITH A SURFACE LOW REFLECTION MOVES ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH AND TENNESSEE VALLEY BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. PATTERN LOOKS MORE LIKE THAT OF FALL RATHER THAN THE SECOND WEEK OF JUNE. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY MAY NOT BE QUITE AS HIGH WITH THIS SYSTEM THAN PREVIOUS DAYS WITH CAPE VALUES AROUND 1500 J/KG...DYNAMICS AND PRESENCE OF SUBTLY 850 JET MAY MAKE UP FOR THIS ALLOWING FOR ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. TROUGH TRANSITIONS INTO CUTOFF LOW FOR SAT WITH GFS LIFTING IT NORTH INTO TENNESSEE VALLEY WHILE EURO KEEPS IT WEST OF THE AREA OVER ALABAMA. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE FOR LIMITED DIFFERENCES TO WX IMPACTS AS LIFT IN DIFFLUENT PATTERN IS PRESENT IN BOTH MODELS. BIGGER ISSUE IS GFS SHUNTING DEEPER LAYER MOISTURE EAST WHILE ECMWF KEEPS IT IN PLACE AND PROVIDES FOR A SOGGY SCENARIO FOR MOST OF THE WEEKEND. FOR NOW...WILL GO WITH A BLEND OF THE TWO MODELS WHICH YIELDS MID TO HIGH END SCT POPS THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR POSSIBLE INCREASE WITH SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS. EVENTUALLY INTO NEXT WEEK...WE FINALLY SEE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILD IN OVER THE AREA WITH GFS MORE AGGRESSIVE IN THIS FEATURE. SHOULD SEE INCREASING TEMPS AND REDUCED RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE END OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. DEESE && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... CONVECTION CONTINUING TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND EXPECT BEST CHANCES OF THUNDER BETWEEN THROUGH 8PM. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY TO THE SW THROUGH 10-12Z...WITH A GRADUAL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST BY 15Z. SPEEDS SHOULD BE 8-10KT THROUGH THIS EVENING...LESS THAN 6KT OVERNIGHT...AND INCREASE AGAIN BY LATE MORNING. HIGHER GUSTS EXPECTED IN OR NEAR CONVECTION. EXPECT GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE EVENING...THEN DEGRADING TO IFR BY 10Z.
