Aug 9th NE Georgia
Aug 9th: Diurnal convection became a little more organized in areas of NE Georgia has the sea breeze interacted with some down slope winds from the Georgia Mountains. A few instances of damaging winds caused some tree damage, mostly across portions of White county.
Aug 19-20th SE Georgia
Aug 19th: A weak baroclinic zone across the region with a weak low pressure center located on the Atlantic coast created an isolated corridor of enhanced low-level shear. Diurnally driven storms were able to tap into that corridor to form a few multicell cold pool driven clusters that caused a number of locally damaging wind gusts in the subsequent microbursts.
Based on the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for September, western Georgia has an equal chance for above or below normal temperatures while the remainder of Georgia has a 40% to 50% chance for above normal temperatures. For precipitation, far northern Georgia has an equal chance for above or below normal precipitation, while the rest of Georgia has a 33%-50% chance for above normal precipitation.
