Flash Flood — Dade, GA

Oct 14, 2014

Very warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico prevailed over Georgia in advance of a strong storm system that moved through the eastern United States. During the early morning hours a line of thunderstorms moved through parts of West Central Georgia and continued into the Atlanta metropolitan area and eventually portions of East and Central Georgia. A low-level jet developed on the back side of this line of thunderstorms which was conducive for the development of damaging winds and tornadoes.
