On the morning of August 30th Tropical Storm Irma developed rapidly over the eastern Atlantic Ocean, just west of the Cape Verde Islands. Tropical Irma quickly strengthened as it moved west, reaching hurricane strength by the morning of August 31st. Hurricane Irma continued to move steadily westward across the Atlantic Ocean, intensifying to category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale as it approached the northern Leeward Islands of the Lesser Antilles on September 4th. By the morning of the September 5th Hurricane Irma had reached category 5 and remained so into the morning of September 8th as it moved through the northern Antilles and approached the Bahamas. Irma continued moving west northwest as a category 4 storm before turning north over the Florida Straits, and crossing the Florida Keys on the 9th and 10th. Hurricane Irma made landfall over southwest Florida as a category 4 storm during the evening of the 10th and travelled north northwest through western Florida before weakening to a category 1 hurricane as it crossed into southwest Georgia the afternoon of September 11th. Tropical Storm Irma crossed southwest Georgia through the day of the 11th before weakening to a tropical depression over north Alabama early on the morning of the 12th. Tropical storm strength winds produced widespread damage across central and north Georgia through the day of September 11th and into the early morning hours of the 12th. Isolated flash flooding associated with Tropical Storm Irma was reported as well.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
344 AM EDT Mon Sep 11 2017
.SHORT TERM /Today through Tuesday/...
Main forecast issue continues to be Irma. Have made no big
changes to the short term. Rain was working it way into north GA
this morning and we should start to see the heavier bands during
the day. The current path forecast brings the center of Irma into
west central GA this evening and then continues on a path to the
northwest into northern AL by Tuesday morning. Winds should
continue to increase during the day with tropical storm force over
much of the area by afternoon. Instability looks limited during
the day with little cape and positive lifted index values...so not
expecting widespread convection. However...there still remains
the possibility of isolated thunderstorms given that the shear
remains strong. Rain and winds should diminish from the south
tonight into Tuesday as Irma pulls to the northwest.
Not expecting much in a diurnal range with widespread rain and
persistent easterly winds.
41
.LONG TERM /Tuesday Night through Sunday/...
The significant impacts from Irma will have ended by the
start of the long term. Irma's upper low over the w TN/n AL MS
area will become an upper trough that moves off to the ne and
weakens through Friday with a weak upper ridge building
for Saturday and Sunday. This will lead to Mainly chance showers
favoring n GA, and possibly some thunderstorms, for most of the
long term.
Below normal temperatures will warm to around normal by Friday
and the weekend.
BDL
&&
.Hydrology...
No major changes to the current forecast. At this time the heaviest
rain will stay south of the mountains where generally 4 to 6 inches
of rain could fall with isolated higher amounts, mainly where the
banding sets up. The mountains could see 2 to 3 inches of rain,
however this could change if some bands make it into the mountains.
Will therefore maintain the current Flash Flood Watch.
41
&&
.AVIATION...
06Z Update...
Winds will be increasing through the period. Tropical storm force
winds should begin across the KMCN and KCSG areas around 14z.
The remainder of the taf sites should see tropical storm force
winds by 18z. Will continue east to northeast winds generally
18G30 to start and increasing to 30-35G45-50kts by afternoon.
VFR cigs will become mvfr by 09Z and IFR by afternoon. Rain will
continue to spread over the region through the morning with isolated
thunderstorms.
