The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
A short wave lifting northeast out of the north central Gulf of Mexico triggered isolated severe thunderstorms with damaging winds across central Georgia during the evening hours.
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 Apr 14, 7:10 PM EST, 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 810 PM EDT TUE APR 14 2015 .UPDATE... && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 324 PM EDT TUE APR 14 2015/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST FLOW /ALOFT/ WITHIN UNSEASONABLY MOIST AIRMASS WILL WILL SUPPORT PERIODS OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGHOUT THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. CONVECTION HAS ERUPTED ALONG THE TX/LA/MS GULF COAST TODAY. THIS COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH AND EAST THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH THE MORE SIGNIFICANT (STRONGER) THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LIKELY REMAINING ALONG THE COAST WHERE DEEPER THETA-E/INSTABILITY AXIS WILL EXIST. MLCAPE OF 500-1500 J/KG ACROSS THE AREA SHOULD SUPPORT ISOLD-SCT SHRA/TSRA THROUGH SUNSET THIS EVENING BEFORE EFFECTS OF GULF COAST "WAVE" APPROACHES. WEDNESDAY WILL GENERALLY BE WET WITH LOW CLOUDS/DRIZZLE AND SCATTERED SHOWERS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC WILL GRADUALLY SEND WEDGE FRONT SOUTH/WEST ENTERING NORTHEAST GA BY MIDDAY. SHALLOW COOL AIR IS EXPECTED TO MAKE IT SOUTH OF THE KATL AREA BTWN 00-03Z/THU. AS THIS IS OCCURRING... INTENSE UPR LVL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL STREAM NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION WHICH WILL SUPPORT ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF RAIN AND PERHAPS EMBEDDED THUNDER...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WEDGE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. GIVEN PWAT VALUES RUNNING NEARLY TWICE THE NORMAL VALUES FOR MID APRIL...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR IN ASSOCIATION WITH S/W LATE TONIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. GENERAL RAINFALL (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT) OF 1 TO 2 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH/CENTRAL GA...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS APPROACHING 3 INCHES. TEMPS WILL BE MILD WEDNESDAY DESPITE CLOUDS AND RAIN BUT EXPECT MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS BY WED NIGHT/THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A KATL TO KAHN LINE. DJN.83 LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... NO SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW DOMINATES AHEAD OF THE CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS KEEPS THE REGION IN A GENERALLY WET PATTERN. ALTHOUGH THE GENERAL PATTERN IS SIMILAR BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF...THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND CONCERNING THE STRENGTH...LOCATION AND MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER LOW AS IT FINALLY KICKS OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS IS MUCH DEEPER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE WHILE THE ECMWF WEAKENS THE SYSTEM NOTICEABLY. WITH SUCH A WIDE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO I AM NOT INCLINED TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE CURRENT LONG TERM FORECAST GRIDS WHICH SEEM TO ME TO BE A REASONABLE COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO SOLUTIONS. PLEASE SEE THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION BELOW. WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR RAINFALL TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. THIS RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE SPREAD OUT THROUGH THE PERIOD AND ALTHOUGH NO SPECIFIC PERIOD CAN YET BE SINGLED OUT FOR A FLOOD WATCH...WE WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON RAIN ACCUMULATIONS AS WELL AS SOIL MOISTURE AND RIVER LEVELS. 20 PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/.../ISSUED AT 356 AM EDT TUE APR 14 2015/ A WET/UNSETTLED PATTERN LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. ANOTHER COLD AIR DAMMING EVENT SETS UP WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH A CONTINUED DEEP MOIST SW FLOW ALOFT WITH EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES. THIS WILL CONTINUE HIGH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS SUPPORTS THE THREAT FOR FLOODING THROUGH THE WEEK BUT ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE MIDDLE TO END OF THIS WEEK AS WE SEE THE IMPACTS OF MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF RAINFALL OVER SATURATED SOIL...AS THIS GENERAL WET PATTERN CONTINUES. DEEP MOISTURE EXITS THE AREA FOR MONDAY LENDING TO MORE HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BELOW NORMAL ON THURSDAY DUE TO THE DAMMED AIRMASS. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE MAINLY WITHIN SEVERAL DEGREES OF NORMAL THE REST OF THE PERIOD.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1/4 TO 1 INCH...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY AS A PERSISTENT WET AND UNSETTLED PATTERN AFFECTS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. AT THIS TIME...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW. HOWEVER...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WILL PRODUCE AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL OVER SATURATED GROUNDS. THIS WILL INCREASE THE FLOOD POTENTIAL THROUGH THE WEEK. FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD INFORMATION...REFER TO THE LATEST HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK ON OUR WEB PAGE. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
