Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	After several days of minimal thunderstorm activity across the north and central Georgia area, thanks to the presence of the subtropical ridge over the area, thunderstorms increased markedly across the region on the 25th as unstable northwest flow aloft returned to the region. A weak upper trough was also evident across the mid-Atlantic region with an associated weak cold front. These factors combined with the continued hot, humid, unstable air mass across the region lead to scattered to even occasionally numerous afternoon and evening thunderstorms. While none of these reached severe limits on this day, many did produce intense cloud-to-ground lightning. Several lightning-related fires were observed in Cherokee county just north of Atlanta.
Event narrativeevent_narrative	The Cherokee County Emergency Management Director reported that lightning struck a commercial structure just north of Canton. The facility suffered minor damage.
