The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
A persistent upper-level trough over the eastern U.S. and a cold front dropping south through the state brought scattered strong and isolated severe thunderstorms to north and central Georgia.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 234 PM EDT Mon Jun 14 2021 .UPDATE... 18z Aviation update below. Baker && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1108 AM EDT Mon Jun 14 2021/ UPDATE... Only minor near term adjustments made to temps/dewpts given recent obs. Still thinking weak front will support some isolated convective triggering later this afternoon, warranting some slight to low end chance pops across portions of the area with main focus across central GA. Cannot rule out something strong given progged SB/ML instability near 2000-3000 J/kg but is fairly moisture starved. Previous discussion follows... Baker PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 735 AM EDT Mon Jun 14 2021/ Morning Area Forecast Discussion for June 14... SHORT TERM /Today through Tuesday/... A surface front located over south Georgia through the period, while a second front will push through the area as an upper level wave moving through the Great Lake region pushes east. Front will bring a shot of drier air across the area. While most of the dynamics will remain north of the forecast area with north to northwest flow aloft over the area, the will be enough moisture available today and tomorrow for slight to low chance POPs, particularly along the surface front along a line from Columbus to Athens this afternoon and along the southern fringes of our forecast area tomorrow. Convection will be mostly diurnally driven with much of the activity diminishing with the loss of heat each evening, although an isolated storm may continue into the late evening hours. Guidance temperatures look good, with warmer than normal temperatures today followed by near normal temperatures overnight and tomorrow. Atwell LONG TERM /Tuesday Night through Sunday/... I've got some good news and some potential bad news for the long term. We'll start with the good news. The long term starts on Tuesday evening where cold front should have surged through the CWA thanks to shortwave rotating through the broader long wave trough over the eastern seaboard, bringing a surge of lower dewpoints across the area and some relief from the gulf moisture. It appears this will make it far enough south that storm chances can be lowered below even slight chance mentions. Larger upper level trough will slowly push east over the next few days with subsidence behind the trough helping drive sfc high pressure in over the CWA, which will further help suppress chances of thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the 80s to low 90s on Wednesday, but airmass under high will continue to modify and bring high temps up into the upper 80s to mid 90s by Thursday. Now for the potential bad news - the tropics. By Friday, trough moves off the coast, taking the sfc high with it. This brings sfc winds back around from the south and the beginning of the return of the gulf moisture. Over the weekend, several TPVs will help drive a series of strong shortwaves through large trough over eastern 2/3rds of CONUS. These will remain north of the area, so PoP chances will likely be mostly diurnal in nature Friday and Saturday. However, global deterministic models still continue to show a tropical low with the GoM related to the Central American Gyre. Initial development is still shown in the western Gulf on Friday, but an increasing number of ensemble members as well as repeated runs of the deterministic guidance continues to show the system getting pulled to north and then the northeast (possibly driven by imbalanced convection on the eastern side and a Beta drift effect given lack of overall steering flow) and eventually captured by the jet stream. This would bring the system towards the CWA by the end of the long term, bringing the possibility of heavy rainfall for a day or two, dependent on exact timing. It's important to highlight a few things with this system. First, there is still uncertainty, and it certainly isn't a guarantee that the system will impact us. Some ensemble members still show a more western track towards the Mexican coastline that prevents the system from pulling up this way for some time, if at all. This introduces both uncertainty in potential timing as well as if impacts will even happen. Additionally, how the development of the system occurs, from its size to its potential strength, or even if it develops at all, will have large implications on the extent of impacts here. This is not likely to strengthen into something significant, as CAG based systems can sometimes struggle to become organized, and the thermodynamic environment is not the best as Gulf waters aren't quite the jet fuel they would likely be later into the hurricane season. But even a modest tropical storm could bring both a flooding and tropical tornado threat with it. All in all, I'll continue to say what I've said all week - stay tuned as we continue to hone the forecast. Confidence is increasing of rainfall associated with the tropical moisture, and we'll have a much better handle on the rest over the coming days. Lusk && .AVIATION... 18Z Update...

Primary threats will be heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds with any storms which do form. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday... There will be a chance of thunderstorms across south central Georgia Tuesday. Dry conditions expected Wednesday through Friday. Thunderstorms will again be possible across North and Central Georgia on Saturday and Sunday. The greatest chance will be during the afternoon and evening hours. A few stronger thunderstorms cannot be ruled out on any of these days, however no organized or widespread severe weather is expected. The primary threat from any thunderstorms will be frequent lightning, gusty winds, and brief heavy rain. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected through tonight.
