Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA deepening upper-level low was progressing slowly southeastward from the northern plains into the Ohio Valley region. By September 24th, this system had become a deep cutoff low which meandered about the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic region for over a week. On September 22nd as the upper low was progressing slowly southeast and deepening, a leading short wave and associated cold front progressing into the southeast U.S. encountered an unseasonably warm, moist, almost tropical air mass. Precipitable water values were well above average, running in the 1.8 to 2.1 range across the region as the upper low approached the region. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms persisted across parts of east central and central Georgia during the early to mid-morning hours. After a lull in activity during midday, afternoon heating helped initiate redevelopment across north and west central Georgia. Given the high water content of the air mass and slow movement of the individual thunderstorm cells, excessive rainfall was observed from the stronger cells. There were two incidents of flash flooding in the Atlanta metropolitan area. In addition, the storms were efficient cloud-to-ground lightning producers, with at least one lightning-related fire reported from this event.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe Coweta County Emergency Management Director reported that a home in Thomas Crossroads on Sandra Lane in the Legacy Estates Subdivision just south of Georgia Highway 34 was struck by lightning and set on fire. The attic of the home suffered considerable fire damage before the fire was brought under control. The home was rendered uninhabitable as a result of the fire.
