Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA persistent and strong subtropical ridge centered across the Southern Plains continued to provide Georgia with an unstable northwest flow aloft. A series of upper-level disturbances were embedded within the flow, each generating rounds of thunderstorms across the Tennessee Valley which progressively moved southeast into Georgia. This pattern remained in place through much of June and into early July, for that matter. A quasi-stationary front extended westward from the Carolinas and Tennessee westward into Oklahoma. Numerous convective outflow boundaries were noted throughout the Tennessee Valley and the Carolinas. A complex of thunderstorms moved into north Georgia during the mid-afternoon and steadily propagated southward into central Georgia during the evening before diminishing. Many reports of damaging wind and some hail were reported during this event.
