Wider weather episode

Very warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico prevailed over Georgia in advance of a strong storm system that moved through the eastern United States. During the early morning hours a line of thunderstorms moved through parts of West Central Georgia and continued into the Atlanta metropolitan area and eventually portions of East and Central Georgia. A low-level jet developed on the back side of this line of thunderstorms which was conducive for the development of damaging winds and tornadoes. This line of thunderstorms with heavy rain interacted with a dissipating stationary front early in the morning over North Georgia to produce flash flooding in Dade County in Northwest Georgia.
