| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The strong southern U.S. subtropical ridge had spread somewhat east in the previous days and was now centered across Mississippi. However, a very weak upper trough remained evident across the southeast U.S. In addition, a nearly stationary backdoor cold front was evident along the Georgia/South Carolina border. A number of strong outflow boundaries were also evident across north Georgia early on the 12th in response to upstream overnight thunderstorm development across the Tennessee valley. These features combined with a hot, very unstable atmosphere, allowed for scattered thunderstorms to develop during the morning hours across north Georgia. The activity propagated through the Atlanta metropolitan area into West Central Georgia before dissipating during the early evening as subsidence from the upper high and warm air aloft caused activity to dissipate sooner than during a normal diurnal thunderstorm situation. A few of the storms briefly became severe and produced damaging downburst winds, marginally severe hail, and intense cloud-to-ground lightning. |
