Episode Narrative A multi-day severe weather outbreak initiated with a warm moist air mass situated over Georgia as a strengthening upper level system pushed across central Georgia. With moderate instability in place with increased shear, combined to create numerous severe thunderstorms, taking the form of a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) with several strong supercells ahead of the front. The resulting front stalled across central Georgia and interacted with a weaker shortwave moving up from the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a catalyst for another day of severe weather and flash flooding on April 6th.
Event Narrative The same mesovortex that produced a brief tornado in northcentral Treutlen County on April 5, spun up another weak tornado southwest of Swainsboro near Kemp Rd and Ebenezer Church Rd. It traveled northeast downing several trees then traveled near the intersection of US80 and US1 as it entered the city limits. More trees were snapped or uprooted along the path as it traveled into the city. Several businesses near downtown had a large amount of tin roofing blown off and into streets. A few signs were also blown down. The tornado lifted shortly after this point just northeast of downtown. [4/5/22: Tornado #15, County #1/1, EF-1, Emanuel, 2022:018].
