Event narrative

The Fulton County Emergency Manager reported golf ball sized hail in East point.

Wider weather episode

Strong afternoon heating and a very moist airmass combined to produce a very unstable atmosphere by the afternoon of the 24th. A weak cold front and an outflow boundary from strong overnight storms across the Tennessee Valley pushed south into the state resulting in widespread strong to severe thunderstorms. Numerous reports of damaging thunderstorm winds and large hail were received, initially across North Georgia, during the afternoon and early evening before moving into portions of Central Georgia during the evening. Heavy rain associated with one severe thunderstorm produced isolated flash flooding in western portions of Gwinnett County.
