EF0 tornado in Coweta County, Georgia

A brief tornado spun up between Newnan and Peachtree City, a couple miles

south of Hwy 34. The tornado initially touched down in the White Oak community near Nicklaus Walk and Tillinghast Trace where several smaller trees were seen snapped. As the tornado moved east-northeast, larger pines were snapped on either side of a

golf course fairway between the White Oak and Woodstream community. 20-30 large pines were snapped near the top to halfway down in this area to Fairway Court with a few houses sustained minor roof and siding damage. The tornado then crossed Sullivan

Road into the Woodstream neighborhood where additional trees were snapped or uprooted, between Pheasant Ridge and Wildflower Circle. A couple of homes in this area also sustained minor roof and/or siding damage but no significant structural damage occurred. The tornado appeared to lift just northeast of Wildflower Circle based on radar and lack of any other notable damage.

A strong developing system over brought moist southerly winds across the north and central Georgia, creating isolated severe thunderstorms and flash flooding on the afternoon and evening of January 3rd. The severe weather threat continued into Wednesday, January 4th, as the storm progressed eastward and brought a cold front across the area, producing isolated damaging wind gusts.
