Climate Site Maximum Temperature Max T Date Climate Site Total Precipitation DFN (Departure Climate Site Maximum Daily Precip (in inches) Maximum Precip Date Data prepared by NWS Peachtree City/Atlanta May 6: Early Monday, May 6th, 2022, an early morning squall line out ahead a head of an easterly moving cold front brought reports of wind damage from NW Georgia. As the day heated up, much of the forecast area south of the I-85 corridor saw a steady recovery in moisture and instability, prompting the Storm Prediction Center to issue a Tornado Watch 127. As the cold front approached, discrete storms focused primarily in East Central and Southern Georgia resulted in multiple hail and wind damage reports. While multiple Severe Thunderstorms warnings were issued, the tornado threat did not materialize until later in the evening and was focused outside of the CWA. Tornado Watch 127 was issued for portions of the area. Several severe thunderstorms brought a smattering of wind damage and hail reports on May 6th. Based on the Climate Prediction Center’s outlook for June, North Georgia has a 33% chance of above average temperatures while central Georgia has a 40% chance of above average temperatures. For precipitation, Georgia has an equal chance for above, below or near normal precipitation.
