EF1 tornado in Coweta County, Georgia

A line of storms moved into Western GA during the afternoon of

May 27, 2025. An EF1 tornado with maximum winds of 85-90 mph

developed along the leading edge of the line on the northside of

the City of Newnan, GA. The tornado first touched down along Riva

Ridge Ln along Calumet parkway where a few large limbs were

snapped and branches broken from trees in a small neighborhood.

The tornado continued northeast into a mostly industrial park

region along Niagra Way before crossing Herring Road and Dart

road where the tornado reached maximum intensity. Numerous trees

were snapped and uprooted along Dart Road. There was minor

siding and roof damage to a warehouse along Dart Road. The

tornado continued east along Dart road crossing Amlajack blvd

snapping trees including in a forested region before reaching

I-85. The tornado began to weaken as it crossed I-85 and into

another industrial area along International Parkway where

numerous large limbs were broken off. The tornado lifted shortly

after crossing International Parkway before reaching White Oak

Creek.

A cold front moved across central Georgia, interacting with the southern edge of the CAD wedge in the afternoon hours of the 27th. Storms near the intersection of the front and the wedge latched on to the resultant shear and generated several tornados in Carrol and Coweta counties.
