The wider storm

A quasi-linear convective system moved across northwest Georgia during the afternoon and evening hours of May 2nd along a modest cold front. Winds damage and some hail were the main threats, however conditions became less conducive to severe weather south and east of I85. Complex outflow interactions along the edge of one of the northern embedded cells managed to produce a brief EF1 tornado which crossed Lake Lanier. The lowest radar scan was above the strong rotation signature.

Began near Carns Mill (34.4200, -84.4200).
