Event narrative

Siding was blown off a building.

Wider weather episode

WSW flow aloft prevailed as two shortwaves moved through the elongated, positively tilted longwave trough. At the surface, a mostly stationary frontal boundary strengthened. At the same time, increasing southerly low-level flow resulted in greater warm air advection south of the frontal boundary. There were scattered reports of wind damage and hail across the tri-state area. Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches during the day across southwest Georgia also resulted in areal flooding with several roads impacted.
