Climate Site Maximum Temperature Max T Date Climate Site Total Precipitation DFN (Departure Climate Site Maximum Daily Precip (in inches) Max P Date *Indicates a daily record was set June 11th Northwest Georgia June 11th: A line of strong to severe thunderstorms pushed down from the northeast out of Tennessee. The environment it entered allowed it to transition from sub-severe to severe with over 2000 J/KG of MLCAPE and a low level jet of 25-30kts. This allowed the line segment to come together to form a strong bowing line that produced winds exceeding 60mph. Numerous trees and powerlines were reported down across the state as the line moved through with the highest concentration being in NW Georgia. June 14th Southwest Georgia June 14th: A rare summertime setup that brought nearly 50kts of deep layer sheer along a front that moved out of the NW into Alabama and Georgia created an environment with 100-200 m2/s2 of effective SRH combined with 2000+ J/KG of MLCAPE and dewpoints in the 70s were more than enough to create an outbreak of supercells with large hail and tornadoes across the southeast. While a majority of the the reports came from south of the CWA there was a report of hail exceeding two inches in Macon as well as plenty of reports of trees and powerlines down. June 25th North and Central Georgia June 25th: A complex MCS with a history of damaging wind gusts moved into northern Georgia on the afternoon of the 25th. Low level lapse rates of 7° C/KM were enough to overcome the weak shear in the area and numerous reports of hail ranging from 1-2 inches came in as the system pushed deeper into Georgia. Damaging winds were also present with a number of reported powerlines and trees down as the leading edge of the main MCS bowed out across north and central Georgia. June 30th North and Western Georgia June 30th: A cluster of thunderstorms gradually increased in intensity across western Georgia over the afternoon. Strong daytime heating combined with dewpoints in the low 70s allowed MLCAPE values to rise to 1000-2000 J/KG. While the shear was minimal for the day, steep low-level lapse rates resulted in strong localized wind gusts that resulted in multiple trees and powerlines down along the Georgia/Alabama border. Based on the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for July, Georgia has a 40% to 50% chance for above normal temperatures. For precipitation, central Georgia has an equal chance for above or below normal precipitation, while northern Georgia has a 33%-40% chance for above normal precipitation.
