Wider weather episode

A line of thunderstorms moved into northwest GA in the early morning hours of the 6th. Storms were weakening as instability continued to fall, however some portions of the line were able to develop stronger wind gusts. The line surged northward as the day progressed and delayed the arrival of the line for areas further south. This allowed for instability to redevelop. As the line moved into central GA, storms strengthened causing sporadic wind damage and two brief tornados (one in Columbus and one in Macon). The line of storms surged ahead of the incoming cold front and tapered off through the overnight hours. Storms then refired along the cold front (behind the initial line) during the morning hours of the 7th producing several rotations requiring tornado warnings in the southern CWA and a tornado which moved from Spalding to Henry county.
