The wider storm

A line of thunderstorms moved across Georgia during the morning and early afternoon hours of the 9th. Most of the severe thunderstorms was collocated with the greatest instability across South-Central and East-Central Georgia. However, increased shear along the base of CAD was enough to organize an embedded cell which traversed the Atlanta Metro Area. This cell developed a brief circulation, necessitating a tornado warning.

In total, rainfall amounts of 2 to 3.5 inches were common, with isolated amounts of 4.5 to 8 inches. These amounts produced flooding and flash flooding over the area, and contributed to the improvement of drought conditions over north Georgia.

Began near Ft Vly Duke Arpt (32.6519, -83.7951).
