Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper level shortwave and associated surface cold front moved through the area during the afternoon and evening hours of January 21st. The air mass ahead of the front was unstable and characterized by surface dewpoints in the low to mid 60s with surface based CAPE values of 1000-2000 j/kg. Mid level lapse rates were also relatively steep with values between 6.5 and 7.0 C/km as seen through the 00z January 22nd KTAE sounding. Effective shear was also analyzed at greater than 40 knots across a large portion of southwest Georgia and southeast Alabama. These factors combined to produce several severe thunderstorms across southwestern Georgia, although southeast Alabama avoided the severe weather. The Storm Prediction Center placed parts of southwest Georgia and southeast Alabama under a tornado watch from 1230 pm EST until 8 pm EST. A few storms did develop across southeast Alabama and produced hail, but the hail was not reported large enough to be considered severe. A small area of Geneva county also saw heavy rainfall due to training storms across the area with minor flooding reported.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeLaw enforcement reported significant ponding of water on roads around Slocomb, but roads remained passable and no road closures occurred. Radar showed an area of training thunderstorms with rainfall estimates of 3 to 5 inches occurring in and around Slocomb in just a few hours.
