April 19 and 20, 2015 were active in terms of severe weather across north and central Georgia. On Sunday, April 19, 2015 a wedge front lifted northward as a low pressure system tracked across the Tennessee Valley and pushed a weak surface trough across the southeast. This put north and central Georgia in the warm sector, and storms quickly developed Sunday morning. Many of the storms observed on radar this day had rotation in them, but only a few produced tornadoes – one each in Chattahoochee, Sumter, and Laurens Counties. The main damage from the storms on Sunday turned out to be wind damage and was spread across northwest and central Georgia. Another active day occurred on Monday, April 20, 2015, as a cold front pushed through Georgia. The severe storms were confined to north Georgia and were generally just ahead of the cold front. Damage Monday once again included wind damage, but in addition hail was widespread across the northern Atlanta metro area. Reports received by the National Weather Service indicated golfball sized hail was the largest observed on April 20. Additional information will be added as it becomes available.
