The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
A series of short waves moving through an unseasonably strong northwesterly upper-level flow pattern brought several rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms across north and central Georgia. One of these episodes moved across the region during the afternoon and evening producing numerous reports of large hail and damaging thunderstorm winds.
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 Jul 21, 1:52 PM EST, 3 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 252 PM EDT Sat Jul 21 2018 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/... Models not really handling the northwest flow pattern very well, although the Hi-Res models at least appear to be trying. Atmosphere over the CWA is recovering and expected mainly scattered development for the rest of this afternoon and early tonight. All models show another cold pool at 500mb and an associated short wave moving into eastern TN and north GA by 12Z Sun. This will bring another chance of showers/tstorms to north GA late tonight and across the CWA Sunday. As this cold pool/short wave exits, the 500mb Low will move over the TN Valley Sunday afternoon and Sunday night bringing additional destabilization. This will increase the chance of showers/tstorms again late Sunday night across mainly north GA. 17 .LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/... No major changes in the long term forecast. 500mb Low/Trough will remain stationary over the CWA through the week keeping a relatively cold core over the southeast. This will yield scattered to numerous thunderstorms each day. Temps will remain at or slightly below normal through the long term. 17 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Convection has moved out, however scattered convection is possible this afternoon as the atmosphere re-energizes with heating. Convection will dissipate with lack of heating late this evening. Another disturbance will move into north GA early Sunday morning bringing another chance of convection. Most areas have gone VFR with SCT035-055. Expect VFR conditions through the forecast. Winds will be westerly through the forecast. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE... Medium on TSRA chances and timing. High on remaining elements. 17 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
