April 1st Northern Georgia Thunderstorms

A line of strong storms that were the remnants of a severe weather outbreak across the Midwest moved into northern Georgia during the morning hours of April 1st. These storms primarily posed a wind threat, causing multiple downed trees along with heavy rain and frequent lightning. Despite the hour, CAPE values ahead of the storm ranged from 1000-1500 J/Kg with dew points in the 60s. This complex of storms contained a number of mesocyclones as it moved south with at least one confirmed tornado just north of Atlanta near Woodstock.

 

The May climate outlook is below.

May Outlook

 

Based on the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for May, North Georgia has a 33% to 40% chance for below normal temperatures while central Georgia has an equal chance for above or below normal temperatures.  For precipitation, central Georgia has an 33% to 40% chance for above normal precipitation while southern Georgia has a 40% to 50% chance for above normal precipitation.
