Thunderstorm Wind in Troup County, Georgia

Tree reported down near the intersection of hammett rd and johnson rd.

A robust wave moving across the southeast generated a large and unstable warm sector underneath moderate shear. A few thunderstorms were able to develop in the evening hours of the 15th as the cold front approached and dynamics improved. One cell in far north Georgia became strong with damaging winds and a strong enough rotation to warrant a tornado warning. No tornado was generated by the storm. Conditions became more favorable for severe thunderstorms as the front moved across the area. Damaging winds and an EF1 tornado were generated west of the ATL metro before weakening. The QLCS continue in strength across central GA mostly posing a damaging wind threat, however conditions reinvigorated across east-central GA necessitating further tornado warnings. Brief EF0 tornadic damage was found with those northeast of Milledgeville.
