Wider weather episode

Widespread afternoon and evening diurnal thunderstorms triggered across north and central Georgia. The outflow from these storms was strong enough to continue persistent thunderstorms through the midnight hours with concentrated pockets of wind damage. Two outflow boundaries which collided produced a zipper-like firing of thunderstorms which even produced a brief circulation and subsequent tornado which moved east to west in northwest Upson county.
