| Episode Narrative | Despite very limited and weak instability across the region, strong low-level shear associated with a deep upper-level low and strong surface cold front managed to produce a couple of weak, short-lived, tornadoes in central Georgia. |
| Event Narrative | A National Weather Service survey team found that an EF0 tornado with maximum wind speeds of 80 MPH and a maximum path width of 150 yards travelled just under 2.5 miles across a portion of northwest Forsyth County. The tornado touched down along McConnell Road south of the Sawnee Mountain Park where it broke numerous small to medium tree branches. This type of damage continued as the tornado moved northeast across Bridgeshaw Drive and Watson Road. As the tornado moved along Pleasant Grove Road, it intensified slightly, snapping or uprooting several trees. One of these trees fell onto a mobile home. The tornado lifted shortly after this near the intersection of Pleasant Grove Road and Doctor Bramblett Road. No injuries were reported. [05/01/17: Tornado #2, County #1/1, EF-0, Forsyth, 2017:069]. |
