Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn unusually strong cold front was pushing south through the Ohio Valle and mid-Atlantic region and into the southeast U.S. A large subtropical ridge of high pressure aloft was located across the southern plains. This resulted in an unstable north to northwest flow aloft across the southeast states. The upper support and frontal system combined with a hot, humid, unstable air mass remaining across Georgia to result in scattered to numerous afternoon and evening thunderstorms. A couple of the thunderstorms became severe and produced damaging wind gusts. All of the thunderstorms produced frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. One of these lightning strikes resulted in the second and third lightning-related deaths of the year for the Peachtree City, Georgia forecast area.
