Severe Weather (July 18th):
Thunderstorm activity gradually increased through the afternoon as the day's high temperature was reached. Precipitable Water values were over two inches and in the 9th percentile for the region. Wind shear values of 20kts allow for some development of convective updrafts and upon collapse, a few of these storms produced downburst that cause severe wind damage. While these storms never fully organized, a few clusters came together to form some bowing segments which resulted in clusters of reports or wind damage.
 |
 |
Severe Weather Outbreak (July 30th-31st):
Northwest flow and a long track thunderstorm cluster from the lower Great Lakes region caused widespread wind damage across areas of north and central Georgia. Primarily NW of the Atlanta metro area. The system was favored with 25-30kts of effective shear and an environment with 2000+ J/kg of SBCAPE which allowed for multiple gusts of 40+ kts. Thunderstorms continued into the overnight hours, although the line had mostly broken apart as it moved south of I-20. As the day heated up, the lingering boundary that the previous nights storm had ridden was the source of the axis of the afternoon's convection. Day time highs in the upper 90's and dewpoints in the 70's resulted in plenty of potential energy for scattered thunderstorms to work with. Isolated wind gusts exceeding 40 kts caused scattered wind damage across central Georgia.
 |
 |
Based on the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for August, north and central Georgia has a 50-70% chances of above normal temperatures. South and central Georgia has a 33% to 50% chance of above normal precipitation.
